#248 Alyson Chapman, Mother's Day Special— Motherhood, Family & Becoming A Grandma

For this special Mother's Day episode, I'm joined by the woman who started it all — my mum, Alyson Chapman. This is one of the most meaningful conversations I've ever had on the show, and one I'll treasure forever. We sit down and chat about her upbringing, the story of how she met my dad, what it was like becoming a mum for the first time, and the beautiful chaos of raising four kids. Mum shares what it was like travelling the world with me throughout my surfing career, the highs and the hard moments, and how proud she is of all of her kids and the people we've become. We also talk about one of her newest and most special chapters — becoming a grandma — and what that's added to her life. Whether you're a mum, have a mum, or are about to become one, this episode is a beautiful reminder of the love, sacrifice and quiet strength that mothers pour into their families every single day.
