## Resource

In this heart-warming episode, Tara sits down with Simon Pryce and Lachy Gillespie of the legendary children’s group The Wiggles to dive into life behind the iconic skivvies, balancing life as beloved performers with the realities of being dads. The pair reflect on how fatherhood completely transformed their approach to music, making their songwriting and performances even more child-centered and playful. They also share the story behind their podcast, Wiggle Talk, which was born out of their own late-night parenting questions and a desire to learn alongside expert guests. From the multi-generational nostalgia bringing original Wiggles fans back with their own kids to the high energy of their current North American tour, Simon and Lachy offer a candid, behind-the-scenes look at performing for families worldwide. Beyond the stage lights, the conversation gets real about the everyday struggles of modern parenting. Simon and Lachy open up about navigating dad guilt, managing long-distance family logistics, and finding small ways to stay connected through early-morning wakeups and hotel video calls.
