Friendship - Us, How it Started, How it is NOW

We’re talking about us — how we met, what we thought of each other at the start, and how this friendship slowly became something real.

It wasn’t instant but pretty quick.
It wasn’t dramatic.
It just grew.

Through life changes, motherhood, heartbreak, and everything in between — we chose to stay.

🎙️ A Lot of Extra Padding
Because good friendships aren’t loud. They’re steady.

Motherhood: Birth, Becoming & Raising Teenagers

Motherhood changes you — starting with birth. In this episode, we talk honestly about childbirth: the expectations, the reality, the parts no one prepares you for, and how those experiences stay with you long after the hospital bracelets come off.

We also dip into what it’s like raising teenagers — the quiet realisation that motherhood keeps evolving.

This is a conversation about becoming a mother, not performing motherhood.
No advice. No judgement. Just real stories, shared openly.

🎙️ A Lot of Extra Padding
Unfiltered conversations about life, love, and motherhood — with honesty, humour, and zero pressure to be perfect.

In this episode of A Lot of Extra Padding, we have an honest, unfiltered conversation about sex — the good experiences, the awkward ones, and the moments we can laugh about now.

This isn’t about being explicit or giving advice, it’s about sharing real experiences and normalising conversations many adults still find uncomfortable.

No shame. A little oversharing. Just real talk between three mums and UNEXPECTED GUEST who’ve lived a bit.

This episode includes adult themes and honest discussion.

In our very first episode, Lyds, Ors, and Tiffs sit down for an unfiltered conversation about why this podcast exists and how we ended up here. We talk about life, motherhood, relationships that didn’t work, red flags we ignored, and the emotional padding we picked up along the way.

This episode is unscripted, honest, and full of laughs — a group chat turned into a podcast. No advice, no experts, just three single mums talking openly about real life and finding humour in the mess.
