In this episode, we discuss people pleasing and how it affected Holly growing up. We talk about what makes you people please, trying to find yourself through the ages and how we FINALLY feel now we are in our mid/late thirties. We mention what we are trying to instil in our children, in order to ensure they go through life with confidence and self worth, making sure they don't repeat the same pattern of 'people pleasing' mistakes we may have made. Sophie fills us in on how she wa...

We thought this was an important topic to discuss, as it’s one that we would say is the most discussed issue in a crowd of angry, tired and resentful mums. “Who’s more tired?” “Who works harder?” “Who needs a break more?” Kids are an absolute blessing, they can make you as a person and as a couple, but that’s not to say that they also can’t break you (at points…) Take a listen to a very open and honest discussion about how relationships change pre and post kids, but how through al...
This episode was a real eye opener for us. We were so grateful to chat with the amazing Malin Andersson, all about her journey since losing her child and mother in such a short space of time. From hitting rock bottom and what helped her find herself again, after such trauma in her life.

The ever debatable question… nature or nurture? Or maybe a bit of both?! We honestly feel there is such an immense amount of pressure on mums nowadays, mainly due to outside influences such as social media. All the various different methods of parenting that we “should” be implementing, are constantly rammed down our throats. And whilst 100% at times, scrolling through TikTok and coming across parenting tips can be helpful, or even seeing another parent going through similar struggles a...

True friendship is hard to come by. The kind that sticks with you through thick and thin, through the worst parts of you, to the best. These friends can be with you from childhood, or even enter your life when you least expect it. No matter how and no matter where, these bonds are unbreakable. Becoming a mother and the thought of starting your life all over again can feel very daunting and lonely, but sometimes, it’s these times during your life, when the best friends you’ll ever meet, ...
This weeks podcast is an extremely sensitive subject for many women and it isn’t often spoken about.
