About this podcast
Ever wondered what it really takes to say a BIG YES?
Join Mel and Nat In Season 5 as we pull back the curtain and talk to mums who’ve done just that (said a big YES) - sharing the messy, magical behind-the-scenes of what it took to make it happen (spoiler: it’s never as simple as it looks).
If you’ve said YES to something that changed your life, we’d love to hear your story. This is you if:
• You are a Mum
• You’ve said a big YES (eg: longer period of time away from your family, something that costs a lot of money, study, life long dream that you have always put to the side, competition etc)
• Love a good conversation
• Happy to share your story
• Inspired by peoples stories
