Welcome to seventh episode of TONTS Season 5 Matrescence Festival edition, join us as we look back through our Melbourne festival from March 2025.

In this episode you’ll hear from Mandy Hose, a sleep and settling consultant as well as the co host of the Too Peas podcast to help all parents of multiples who live with disabilities and additional needs. Mandy wants no one to feel alone anymore, parenting on the road less travelled and has also co-authored a book called ‘The Invisible Lives of Us’ discussing the surprises, challenges and sheer delight of parenting twins with additional needs.

As well as hearing from Mandy, you’ll get to hear us close out Day One of the festival with gratitudes and words of wisdom and affirmation, as attendees discuss what they have gotten out of the festival so far. And please let us know what you’ve gotten out of the series so far at @tontspod on instagram.
