Alex and Shane discuss animal noises, divorce, Shane’s fickleness, being nominated for Podcast of the Year, and the “mom superiority” complex.


Emma Watkins of The Wiggles details what it’s like being “The Elvis” of children’s entertainment, making music for kids, working with her ex-husband, struggling with endometriosis, accommodating to COVID regulations, and goats!


High-performance physiologist Dr. Michael Gervais brings elite sport psychology to parenthood and the “real life” realm. He gives advice for living more intentionally, achieving mastery, training your mind, and how to become “a researcher of amazing.”

 

A mailbag of listener questions are answered, including why Anthony Wiggle never wears shoes, whether the Diva Cup is a good purchase, and our dream podcast guests.
