Caitlyn and Emma are joined by Phillipa from Edruption. She aims to empower change for parents when it comes to ed-tech and wellbeing literacy.

NEW PODCAST EPISODE! On The Sofa with British Mums - Episode 12 with Janine Roach from Grit DXB!

 For this episode, Emma & Sophie from British Mums are joined by the very inspirational Janine from Grit DXB!

 Janine shares her fitness journey with us, how she set up Grit DXB, her aspirations and how she’s trying to help people with their fitness journey – no matter their goals. We loved how passionate Janine is about creating healthy habits for your future rather than a focus on aesthetics.

We hope you love this podcast as much as we do; email us your thoughts and ideas at podcast@britishmums.com.

NEW PODCAST EPISODE! On The Sofa with British Mums - Episode 11 with Just Two Mums!

 

For this episode, Emma & Ashleigh from British Mums are joined by the lovely Megan & Rebecca who are ‘Just Two Mums’! 

 

We loved finding out more about these beautiful ladies and their take on life, work and parenting six kids between them!  Much of their inspiration is taken from their own parenting and life experiences and they have a genuine passion to help, inspire and basically ‘do it better’ which we love!

 

We laugh about how they met and became best friends (genuinely!) talk recipe ideas & inspiration from their fabulous cookbook and their plans for the future - it’s a listen we are sure will make you smile!

Episode 10 – On The Sofa with Chris from PractiCal

So, this week, we have our first male guest (apart from Santa, of course), and we love the energy and enthusiasm he brings to the podcast. Emma and Caitlyn were thrilled to chat with Chris, the founder of PractiCal and very proud husband of British Mum Ellen. In this episode, we chat about eating habits and Chris’ incredible and highly practical way of addressing mealtimes. Not only is the food incredibly tasty (think Spag Bol, Lasagne and Steak), but the meal plans are flexible, the cost is low, and the order process is simple. He’s certainly hit the nail on the head in knowing what busy mums want! Plus, he brought some goodies for us to sample, and we can vouch that they’re amazing. If you want to give PractiCal a go (and you will after you listen to this), Chris has set up an amazing 20% discount for British Mums – enter code BMD20 at the checkout.

This week's episode is the perfect listen for everyone as we start a new year, reflecting on the past and looking forward to new beginnings.

Emma is joined by the lovely Michelle from Healing Hands and Jen from British Mums to chat all things healing and how the holistic therapies of Reiki and Access Bars can help you to become more balanced, especially if you experience anxiety and stress or need a release from the day to day strains of life. 

Michelle tells us all about her journey to becoming a Reiki Master and an Access Bars practitioner and how she can help support you on your holistic journey to enhance your health and wellness, and how energy therapies can literally change your life. 

This year, let’s focus on ‘you’ and put self-love and kindness at the top of all our lists.

On The Sofa with British Mums… AND SANTA AND MRS CLAUS

This week’s episode is filled with sparkle and magic as Emma sits down to chat with the man of the moment – Santa Claus! And not forgetting the very lovely Mrs Claus, who Santa fondly introduced as his right-hand woman!

In this very child-friendly episode, we ask Santa and Mrs Claus all the tricky questions, sent in by his biggest fans! Hear more about Santa’s elves, how Mrs Claus makes the best hot chocolate and what happened that one time Santa really did get stuck in the chimney! 

It’s truly the perfect episode to end the year, and thankfully we all made the nice list! Ho Ho Ho, and Merry Christmas everyone!

It’s the start of December, and whilst we’re feeling truly festive, it’s important to remember that this is the time of year that comes with a lot of pressure, expense and mum guilt! This week, Emma and Charlotte are joined by the lovely Harriet Mandak, a Transformational Life Coach who the British Mums team have the pleasure of knowing personally as she worked with us for a few years! An absolutely gorgeous human being, Harriet talks about navigating the high expectations placed on mums in a time when emotions are high, and we have to say, this episode resonated with us completely! Have a listen and let us know what you think – we love hearing your feedback! 
Listen here: 
And don’t forget, we’re talking to Santa and Mrs Claus on our next episode, so if you want to give your kids a shout-out, ask a question or remind them to stay on the nice list – please email podcast@britishmums.com or comment below!

#you're-a-part-of-this

Wow, we’re on episode 6 already, and we’ve had some amazing women join us, and this episode is no exception. Emma and I chatted to the lovely Irene Steele, who’s bringing the fun into fashion. 
We talked about capsule wardrobes, co-ords, and sequins, and Irene also let us know about her favourite home-grown brands. We even realised David Beckham might have got his wardrobe organisation tips from Irene! As well as fashion, we chatted about all the upcoming festive events we’re hosting and also revealed our extra special guest who’s joining us for our Christmas podcast!

This week, we meet the legend that is Rohini Gill. 
It’s a name well-known within the British Mums community for her positive weekend posts, heartfelt comments, and overwhelming desire to help others.
She’s all about putting the ‘heart’ back in HR whilst the lovely Emma and Ash quiz her on CVs, maternity leave, and heading back to work.  
We also learn more about this very remarkable woman on a personal level. We are truly humbled to have had the chance to chat with her, and she has great advice, tips and, most importantly, a very empowering message for all mums looking to get back into work. Have a listen now, and don’t forget to follow! Thank you, Rohini – we love you! x
