Practicing Mums

Practicing Mums

Welcome to Practicing Mums — hosted by Nadia and Althea.

Two friends. Two therapists. Two mums.

With over 20 years of combined experience as a psychologist and occupational therapist, we talk about motherhood, parenting, child development and the realities of balancing careers, ambition and family life.

Between us, we run award-winning allied health businesses while raising young families, and we know motherhood is both beautiful and messy.

Each week, we share honest conversations, practical strategies, research-backed insights and relatable stories about the mental load, the milestones and everything in between.

Practicing Mums is a space for both sides of motherhood, the wins and the overwhelm, the ambition and the burnout, the chaos and the connection.

Follow along on Instagram and TikTok @practicingmums, @nadiainpractice and @evolvewithalthea for podcast updates, behind-the-scenes moments and more.
