In this week’s episode of Mamma Social The Podcast, Kayleigh and Lauren are on a mission to keep it real—because what UK mum isn't knackered at the moment? Lauren’s riding high after finally getting a lie-in (after some serious begging), while Kayleigh has made a shocking discovery: running? Not for her. If you’re a mum who’s tried (and failed) to fall in love with running, you’ll be nodding along with this one! Kayleigh’s new motto for the week is simple but genius: do small things—because, let’s face it, that’s all we’ve got energy for most days. The convo takes a tasty turn as Lauren spills the beans on her new obsession with protein shakes (move over, morning cuppa!), and they both swap tales of food intolerances. Pits and Peaks include the daily battle against messy homes (spoiler: the mess is winning), the bliss of cozying up in Uggs, and the sobering truth that a night out just doesn’t hit the same anymore. Kayleigh also shares a gross ick involving some soggy tuna sandwiches. This week’s topic is hobbies for the kiddos: Should we be pushing them into hobbies, or just letting them figure it out on their own? And what kind of parent are you when it comes to hobbies—hands-on, hands-off, or somewhere in between? In our Share Your Sh!t segment, we’re dishing out some no-nonsense advice for UK mums on how to nudge the kids into new interests without losing your sanity.

| Getting Ready for School: From Family Time to GCSE Anxiety | 29 Aug 2024 | 00:57:24 | |
In this week’s episode of Mamma Social The Podcast, Kayleigh and Lauren recap the results of the ‘Kiss Goodnight’ poll, and the outcome is not what we were expecting... Peaks of the week include lovely family time, we can’t get enough of it over here… although getting the kids to bed is the pits! As they lament the challenge of bedtime, we all wonder why is it so hard sometimes? Kayleigh shares a parenting fail of the week, where she lost control, and the gals muse over whether her actions will have long term effects. How do you course correct yourself as a parent when you find yourself stepping into patterns you didn’t mean to? To lighten things up we also hear about an unfortunate (but funny) boating incident…This week’s topic focuses Autumn resolutions as we get the kids ready to go back to school - anything to work on or improve as the days towards a new season get closer? Both have plans to get the house ready, and make space for seasonal decorations. After all, that long word we all love so much, is just around the corner - hello, inflatable Santa! Lastly, we hear some thoughts on this week’s viewer / listener question - how to tackle anxiety around GCSE’s.

| Fashion: Before, During, and After Kids | 27 Jun 2024 | 00:43:40 | |
In the latest episode of Mamma Social The Podcast, Lauren’s brain isn't working this week and it might be because it’s too hot outside. They bond over their love for quiche—firm, not soggy—and discuss the results of last week's debate - are odd or even numbers better? This week's Pits and Peaks features Lauren finally stopping breastfeeding (she’s free and craving a wine!) and Kayleigh dealing with a broken phone, an accidental call to the police, and a spontaneous treehouse holiday. They also ponder why it bothers people so much when you don’t drink. The topic of the week is fashion before, during, and after giving birth. They reminisce about what they wore as kids and teens, during pregnancy, and what they wear now. Lauren shares her admiration for people who dress however they want without caring, while Kayleigh talks about her current love for Next. They explore why confidence in fashion often goes away after having children, and why all mums need to love themselves a little more. In this week's 'Share Your Shit' segment, a listener shares their decision to try and implement better communication in their relationship after being inspired by the pod. The ladies discuss how you know you’ve annoyed a woman—not when she’s nagging, but when the nagging stops. Kayleigh wraps up with a morbid fact of the week, discussing the number of births and deaths per minute and why that should inspire you to live a little.

| Non-negotiables in relationships | 20 Jun 2024 | 00:58:27 | |
In the latest episode of Mamma Social The Podcast, the ladies chat about clawing back your identity as a Mamma, odd numbers and non-negotiables in dealing with your partners. This week's Pits and Peaks segment expresses gratitude for friends who ‘get you’ and actually LIKE hanging out with your kids, and ponders why Kayleigh and Lauren haven’t picked up golfing yet. How do some dads get so much time for stuff? By the way, should we as mothers celebrate our partners on Father’s Day? They’re not our dads, right?They also figure out the netiquette of the term ‘solo parenting’, and whether it’s nice of the guy in the office to tell a new mam she looks ‘knackered’. Kayleigh raves about Bridgerton babe’s Nicola Coughlan and how much seeing her scenes in the show, as well as reaction to the press lit up her week! Representation matters, you know?! In this week’s ‘Share Your Shit' segment, oh my, have we got a scoop for you! … We hear the story of a dad who faked being unconscious to get out of the doghouse for forgetting his kids at nursery. Oops! We also heard some fan mail from a Mamma who shared how empowering an autism diagnosis has been for her young lad. Kayleigh’s fun fact of the week explores why we are more creative in the shower - it’s because we feel good, right? Don’t forget - we ran a competition, and in this show we announced the winner. One lucky listener can claim their £100 of Zara vouchers! Is it you?! Listen to the end to find out, and don’t forget to tag us in your shopping haul!

| Celebrating Breastfeeding Awareness Week: Essential Tips and Products for UK Mams | 01 Aug 2024 | 00:41:55 | |
In this week's episode of Mamma Social The Podcast, Kayleigh and Lauren dive into Breastfeeding Awareness Week (1st to 8th August). They discuss the challenges of breastfeeding, including knowing when to stop and the difficulties of breastfeeding after having a second child. The ladies touch on the judgement mums often face and emphasise that there’s no one-size-fits-all approach to feeding your baby. The phrase “breast is best” doesn’t reflect everyone’s experience. They highlight game-changing breastfeeding products like nipple pads and Pretty Mama clothing that make breastfeeding easier. The conversation also covers those awkward moments when others, especially men, seem uncomfortable around you while breastfeeding. In this week’s Share Your Shit segment, they address the topic of in-laws and unannounced visits, stressing the importance of setting boundaries and effective communication. Plus, Kayleigh’s fact of the week reveals that eating garlic can make your breast milk taste garlicky—and surprisingly, babies tend to prefer it!
