It’s just Sarah and Tez this week, and they’re catching you up on all things baby and birthing. You might even be listening while Tez is in the throes of labour! She shares her last-minute prep, from setting up the house in true type-A nesting mode to riding the emotional waves of the final days, wobbling between nerves and surrender, and soaking up the last moments of having this baby all to herself.
Sarah talks about a breakthrough with Ocean finally taking the bottle (wooo!) and how she handled her own feelings as her pregnancy came to an end. Together they talk about being held by the universe, leaning into big life transitions, and getting giddy about all the fresh newness unfolding right now.

Motherhood, Aging, and Making a House a Home with Courtney Adamo
This week on The Mother Daze we sit down with mama of five Courtney Adamo to talk about her beautiful new book The Family Home: Inspiring Ideas for a Home Filled with Joy. The book features ideas like creating shared bedrooms that foster connection, displaying kids’ artwork in meaningful ways, and finding beauty in the everyday mess. Courtney shares how she curates functional, joyful spaces that actually work for a big family, drawing on her family’s journey from America to the UK and now to Byron Bay.
We dive into how she keeps her own family connected as her children grow, the different seasons of motherhood, and the big life shifts that have shaped her parenting and design philosophy. We also reflect on aging, wrinkles, societal pressures to stay youthful, and how we continue showing up for the many little (and not so little) people in our lives.

Baby on Board, 2 Months of Ocean, and Mama Guilt
This week it’s just the girls and we’re chatting about mama guilt, anxiety, and the Groundhog Day grind of shuttling kids from A to B (and then C… and then D). Sarah shares the two-month Ocean update, Teresa is counting down the days till baby, and we take a moment to celebrate a few Palmer family highlights. We also get into our very rational (and maybe not-so-rational) fears of water, and talk about finding little ways to slow down in the middle of the never ending chaos of life-ing with so many kids!

Magic, Tarot & WTF moments with Polly Staniford
This week on The Mother Daze we sit down with our friend Polly Staniford, a powerhouse Aussie film and TV producer who also happens to be an intuitive healer, tarot reader, psychic, reiki practitioner and mama of two. Tez and Polly have worked together plenty of times but only recently discovered their shared love of all things woo woo, whimsical and witchy.
Polly chats about how she’s brought her magical side forward while still running her producing career, why more people are tuning into their intuition, and how storytelling through film connects with storytelling through the cards. She even does a live tarot reading for us that delivered some huge “OMG did that seriously just happen?!” moments. From new beginnings and rewriting old narratives to big expansion energy, this episode is a full-on portal of magic.

Pandemonium, Playlists & Postpartum
It’s a Tez & Sarah solo this week! We’re diving into the beautiful chaos of right now: what’s on our birth playlists, the kiddo schedules that make our heads spin, and the pandemonium in the Palmer house while Mark’s away. We chat about Ocean’s tongue tie, how parenting a newborn feels now vs. when we were first-time mamas (we do things very differently!!), nursing “schedules,” dreamy but hazy postpartum days, burping tricks, Tez’s current ice obsession, and her homebirth prep. And we need your help, Dazeys! We’re gathering natural pain relief ideas for labour to add to Tez’s smorgasbord of tools, so send us your best tried-and-true tips.
