Today I’m joined by my friend and fellow coach, Hayley Kirby (@thegoodplaceuk), mum of four, mentor, PT and queen of keeping it simple when life is anything but. We dive into how she manages it all: how to protect time for you without drowning in mum guilt, why convenience (not the cuisine) is what you actually want on takeaway night and how to feed a family with wildly different tastes without turning dinner into a hostage situation.

We chat:

• The “Kirby AGM”: a brilliant, no-nonsense family planning ritual that shares the load

• Simple, high-protein, family-friendly meals

• Busting unhelpful “food rules” and teaching kids to trust fullness

• Using convenience on purpose so Fridays don’t default to apps and delivery fees

• Letting kids try new foods with zero pressure

• Training, work, and doing HYROX while running a household

• A frank take on England Netball’s pathway, coaching development and what it’ll take to compete with Australia

If you’re juggling netball, work and family (and occasionally your sanity), this one’s for you. Practical, compassionate and very real.
