Bread And Better Podcast

Hi friends! This week, we’re sharing some news about what’s next for Bread and Better. After 65 episodes, we’ve had to make the tough decision to put the show on hiatus for the rest of the year as we navigate some big changes in our personal lives. We’re stepping back for now, but we plan to return in 2025 and will catch you up on everything then. Make sure you’re following us on Instagram @breadandbetterpodcast and subscribed here so you don’t miss it. Thank you to everyone who’s been part of this journey (a little nugget for our OG’s) – we can’t wait to reconnect in the new year. Love you all! xoImportant Note: If this is the first episode I IMPLORE you to please go back and listen from episode three onwards as the sound quality of our show is usually schmick but this episode was recorded under unusual circumstances! Bread and Better is hosted by Tegan Padget a qualified personal trainer, sports nutritionist, chef, and owner of the online lifestyle coaching business called Fitty Tegs, and Alex Whittington a freelance feature writer, producer, the owner of Hey Al!

We aim to not only discuss the issues that affect us as women - but also how the issues we deal with, and how we respond, can affect those we influence - our kids, our nephews and nieces, our siblings, our cousins, our godchildren, our best friend's kids.

We're back for round two with Deline from Mazi Wealth, and this time we're diving even deeper into the money talk! In our first episode with Deline, she gave us the lowdown on budgeting, building an emergency fund, and tackling debt.
