S1E37 #37 - Bedtime Makes Me Want To Scream Into A Pillow
It's 8:47pm. The kids are asleep — probably. This episode is the full bedtime play-by-play: the stories that don't count, the teaspoon wees, the water that "tastes old," and the philosophical…
S1E36 #36 - I Think I'm Officially a Dance Mum Now?
I didn't sign up for this. One toddler dance class to fill a Thursday morning, four years later I'm googling ballet barres at midnight and crying at the end-of-year concert. This is a confession…
S1E35 #35 - Hot Coffee and Giggles (The Bit No One Told Me Was Coming)
I stood in my kitchen last week holding a hot coffee. Still hot. And both my girls were playing together. Laughing. Making up games. No one was crying. No one was pulling anyone's hair. No one was…
S1E34 #34 - I don't want to play with my kids (And i'm done feeling bad about it)
I am finally saying the thing every mum thinks but nobody admits — I don't enjoy playing imaginative play with my kids. From Barbie marathons to being cast as the sick dog in pretend vet, I unpack…
S1E33 #33 - She Can Read Now and I'm Terrified of the News
I was making toast and made the mistake of looking at my phone. And I saw kids. Kids the same age as mine. And I couldn't move. This episode is me trying to say out loud what I think a lot of mums…
S1E32 #32 - I Know Instagram Isn't Real But My Brain Didn't Get the Memo
So I watched a reel of a mum doing a full workout, meal prepping 15 organic lunchboxes, and applying a full face of makeup. All before 7am. And I was on the couch in yesterday's shirt eating crust…
S1E30 #30 - The Women Who Kept Me Alive
I made four cups of tea a day and drank none of them. I typed "I'm not doing great" and deleted it. I sat on the kitchen floor and realised I hadn't said a full sentence out loud all day. Then I…
S1E31 #31- I Watched The Louis Theroux Documentary And All I Could Think Was — My Daughters Are Going To Meet These Boys
I wasn't going to record this week. But I watched that Louis Theroux manosphere documentary last night and I haven't been able to think about anything else since. It was 2am. I was lying in bed…
S1E29 #29 - My 3am Search History Should Be Classified
My first 3am Google search as a mum was "will a baby have hiccups forever." I was genuinely concerned she'd be forty. In an office. Still hiccuping. And people would ask if she was okay and she'd say…
S1E28 #28 - Stop Telling Me to Have a Bath
Everyone says "look after yourself, mama." Cool. When? Between the school run and the meltdown or during the 4 minutes I get to pee alone? Let's talk about it.
S1E27 #27 - The Mum I Thought I'd Be vs. The Mum I Am
I was going to be the cool mum. The patient mum. The mum who never yelled. Plot twist: I'm none of those things. And maybe that's not the tragedy I thought it was.
S1E26 #26 - The Real Reason I Disappeared (And Why I’m Back)
I stopped recording. Stopped showing up. Stopped pretending I could do it all. Real Mummy went quiet — not because the podcast failed, but because I was falling apart trying to keep it going.…
