In this episode of Untidy, Matilda and Hannah invite Art Green to step aboard something of a leaky conversational boat. Ever progressively humbled from his distinguished days of being Aotearoa’s favourite Bachelor, Art’s now deeply embedded in the role of Stay At Home Dad, where he prides himself on running a tight ship. Together, he and Matty attempt to unpack the realities of swapping traditional roles, but mostly get side-tracked by divergent yarns and designing, Maurice, the perfect imaginary personal assistant.

In a chat that’s both full of hysterical giggles and uncomfortably real, Art reflects on his admiration for single parents and the realisation that most praise he gets for parenting comes from the novelty of being a dad who shows up to do what many mums do largely unremarked upon everyday.

There’s also an admirable listener submission for their extended ‘trampolining session’, tips for cleaning vomit out of car seats, book recommendations, and some cute mutual appreciation amongst the group. Whether you’re a tag-teaming couple, a solo parent on fumes, you’ll feel seen in this one ... or, at least, quite well entertained.

In this mini-episode of Untidy, Matty and Hannah revisit their conversation with world-renowned naturopathic doctor and women’s health expert Dr Lara Briden when they chatted all things women’s hormones. Lara reframes the way we think about perimenopause. So many women approach their late 30s and 40s with a quiet sense of dread, unsure of what’s coming or how to prepare for it. But as Lara explains, perimenopause isn’t something to fear, but something to understand. She helps us see that this season of hormonal change doesn’t mean we’re broken, and rather than an indication of aging, it’s a hormonal event — a second puberty. If anything, it’s an invitation to reconnect with our bodies and take back the narrative.

In this episode of Untidy, Matilda and Hannah eventually catch up amongst cruising through the everyday chaos of parenting, partnerships, and parasites. What’s a little puking between friends? Hannah introduces her new ‘winter wife’, a Hungarian wonder woman sent directly from heaven who’s transformed her life with folded laundry, meal prep, and home-cooked lunches. Meanwhile, Matty’s (year-round) husband, Art, gets a shout-out for his superior performance managing the parenting load while Matty’s at work. He might be missing his birthday massage, but he could be in line for an at-home Pilates session ...

Matty’s moved into her new house while juggling conferences, radio awards, and imposter syndrome. Hannah rectifies a few love life details in ‘Corrections Corner’, and recaps the sobering realities of her signature ‘Lifecycle of Modern Dating’ graph. A few listener stories cover the length and breadth of 3 am questions about the crucifixion, cat-induced eye parasites, and hope for inclusive fertility journeys.

In this mini-episode of Untidy, Matty and Hannah revisit an incredible conversation with NZ’s beloved media personality, Toni Street, as she shares the heartbreak and hidden strength behind her family’s tragic story of loss. Toni opens up about the unimaginable grief her parents endured, losing three children, and the quiet ways that grief wove through her own childhood and upbringing.

Toni reflects on how growing up in the shadow of loss shaped her family’s way of coping, communicating, and parenting. She talks about what it was like to revisit these memories while writing her book Lost and Found, and how even now, the pain still sits close to the surface.

This conversation also touches on how to show up for someone who is grieving. Toni shares the moments that meant the most, the simple texts, turning up at funerals, being present, and why it’s okay if we don’t always get it right.

Follow Toni on Instagram at @tonimstreet.

In this mini-episode of Untidy, Matty and Hannah revisit one of our most powerful conversations with author and researcher Kasey Edwards, the co-author of the books 'Raising Girls Who Like Themselves', and, 'Bringing up Boys who Like Themselves'. Kasey discusses what it really means to raise emotionally resilient boys in today’s world.

Kasey challenges the long-held idea that boys need to be ‘tough’ to survive, and suggests that resilience comes from helping boys develop emotional bravery. She explains how ‘toughness’ often leads to fragility, not strength, and why helping our boys feel, name, and carry their emotions is the key to raising good men.

This is a must-listen for anyone raising boys who want to grow into confident, connected, emotionally intelligent men.
