Eat Sleep Repeat – Details, episodes & analysis

Talking to kids about disability can feel tricky, but it's a conversation that helps build empathy, understanding, and inclusivity from a young age. This week, Kee and Kelly are joined by Peta Hooke, host of 'The I Can’t Stand Podcast' and self-described as "your friendly girl next door who has a disability." Peta shares her insights and practical advice for answering those big questions kids have and explains why normalising conversations around disability is key to raising kinder, more aware kids.

Diet culture sneaks into so many aspects of our lives, and it can be hard to spot just how toxic it is - especially when it’s been normalised for so long. In this episode, Kee and Kelly dive into their personal experiences with body image and diet culture, unpacking how it affected them and what they've learned along the way. From childhood memories to shifting their mindset as parents, it's a real and relatable chat about breaking free from harmful messages and embracing a healthier approach.

Ever feel like your little one has a favourite? You're not alone! Parental preference is totally normal and super common, whether you’re basking in the glory of being the “chosen one” or dealing with the sting of being second pick. 

Kee and Kelly will share their personal experiences, feature stories from Sh*tters, and provide plenty of practical tips to help you and your co-parent navigate this together.  And remember, being the "chosen one" today means you're just one spilled juice away from second place tomorrow!
