| Raising Rebels- with Christina Horn | 18 Jun 2025 | 01:01:33 | |
Right, this episode is a bit of a special one because we’ve got an actual best mate on - Christina Horn from Raising Rebels. We’ve been friends for, like, 25 years, which makes me feel ancient, but anyway - she’s unreal. Christina’s a Mum of three, a teacher, and she’s got this knack for explaining kids' behaviour in a way that actually makes sense. No fluff, no judgment - just proper, helpful stuff that makes you go, “Ohhh, that’s why they do that.” We covered loads - tantrums, tech, why sharing might actually be a load of sh** - it’s a long one, but honestly, we could’ve gone for hours. Enjoy! Highlights: (07:13) Why we’re over ‘seen and not heard’ (25:28) The iPad is not the villain (31:38) 10 mins a day changes everything (58:51) Telling them what to do works (61:01) If parenting feels hard - you’re not mad Find out more about Christina: Share Your Shit with us!

Right, buckle in, because this week’s episode is a proper rollercoaster. We’re chatting about our chaotic half term - from dreamy playdates and trips to castles, to night terrors that had us questioning reality and, of course, the grand finale of chickenpox just to round things off nicely. We’re also talking all things Father’s Day - including a failed barbecue, questionable flat-pack furniture, and whether it’s actually worth the hype or just another day where the dads get spoiled and we do all the work. Expect plenty of laughs, a few rants, and maybe some questionable parenting choices. Standard. Highlights: (03:10) The Sunderland match party (08:43) Mash the dog tries calming patches (17:01) Night terrors and the haunted baby monitor (29:13) Father’s Day or just another barbecue fail?

| Thanks, But No Thanks: The Unsolicited Mum Advice We Didn’t Ask For | 05 Feb 2025 | 00:32:31 | |
Ever been on the receiving end of that kind of parenting advice—the kind you didn’t ask for? In this episode, we’re talking all things unsolicited mum advice, from the well-meaning but slightly irritating to the full-blown judge-fest. We’re sharing our own experiences, from social media “experts” sliding into our DMs to those real-life moments when someone just has to comment on your pram blanket choices. So, how do you set boundaries without causing World War III? And is there ever a right way to give advice (or should we all just keep quiet)? Let’s get into it—because we all know a Janet, don’t we?
Here are the Highlights: (01:54) Yes! The purple light is in the bin! (07:54) Are YOU a giver of unsolicited advice? (13:21) Yeah but did I ASK for your advice? (19:23) Support over criticism (27:52) Just.be.nice.

Expect cold coffees, missing groceries, suspicious pint-stealers and some strong opinions on toxic positivity.

| Tweakments and Treatments | 23 Jan 2025 | 00:55:48 | |
In this week's episode of Mamma Social The Podcast, Lauren and Kayleigh both have swollen eyes, but what’s causing it? Lauren is aiming to get back into fitness, but she needs to figure out what ‘Macros’ are first. The ladies also chat about ovulation rages and tracking your natural cycles. Is it a good idea?
This week's Pits and Peaks bring the usual chaos and triumphs, including wardrobe organisation and the perils of being hit in the face by your own kids.
The hot topic this week is ‘Tweakments and Treatments’. The conversation dives into society's pressure on women and mothers to look a certain way and why the real focus should be on how you feel, not just on how you look. If tweaks and fillers make you happy, then celebrate that! They also uncover some surprising beauty treatments and cover the ethics around treatments such as salmon sperm facials (yep, you read that right!).

| Sleep, Periods and Dry January | 16 Jan 2025 | 00:46:20 | |
In this episode of Mamma Social The Podcast, Lauren is tired and hasn’t been getting enough sleep, which sparks a bit of a tangent. Do we get enough sleep as mams, why is it so hard to get the kids to nod off? And is there such a thing as too much sleep?
This week's Pits and Peaks include a lovely baby shower, smashing last week's goals and painful periods, but Kayleigh’s brought along some Hot Tea Mama ‘Over the Moon’ tea to help with that - and the ladies love it!
The hot topic this week is all about Dry January. Do you participate? What do we think about the alcohol free stuff? And are less people participating in Dry January this year? Lauren’s done a poll and the results are in…

In this episode of Mamma Social The Podcast, Lauren and Kayleigh are diving deep into the chaos that December brings, and the mental load that parents bear during the lead up to Christmas.

| Tinsel, Tantrums and Talking about Grief | 28 Nov 2024 | 01:09:57 | |
In this episode of Mamma Social The Podcast, Kayleigh and Lauren dive into the festive season—but not everyone’s feeling the Christmas spirit. The Christmas trees are up, snow has fallen, and Kayleigh’s on a mission to deck the halls, but why don’t kids care about decorating anymore? And why do men treat basic instructions like a personal insult? Kayleigh’s been busy creating another masterpiece (yes, another Kayleigh Lavvo original) as a gift for Lauren, but is she a fan? The main topic this week is grief and loss at Christmas. Kayleigh and Lauren open up about how Christmas feels different after losing someone. Why does Christmas make us miss those we’ve lost more? In Share Your Shit, a courageous mum shares her story of baby loss. Kayleigh and Lauren offer heartfelt advice on protecting your peace and remind us all that everyone’s grief journey is different.

After your free sessions, you’ll also receive 15% off future usage. Head to mammasocialco.com/becomeamember to sign up. In this week’s episode of Mamma Social The Podcast, the hot topic this week is all about blended families and step-parenting. How do you navigate being a step-parent in today’s UK family dynamic? When is the right time to introduce ‘step-mum’ or ‘step-dad’ titles, or should you skip them altogether? Kayleigh and Lauren share their personal takes, asking whether it’s easier for men or women to step into this role, and the tough question of whether step-parents should discipline children. They also remind us how step-parents are total superhumans for taking on such an important role. Pits and Peaks this week serve up a mix of laughs and shocks. Kayleigh shares a hilarious story involving the spa and a towel, while Lauren recounts a scary accident with Oakes, plus the worst school drop-off ever! In this week's Share Your Sh!t segment, we tackle a classic ‘’you’re not my mum!” moment, with practical advice on handling step-parenting challenges. The ladies also discuss how every step-family situation is unique, and they highlight some eye-opening stats about how blended families are becoming one of the fastest-growing family types in the UK.

| Kids' Hobbies, Exhaustion, and Running Dilemma’s | 05 Sep 2024 | 01:02:46 | |
Thank you to BetterHelp for sponsoring this week's episode.

After your free sessions, you’ll also receive 15% off future usage. Head to mammasocialco.com/becomeamember to sign up. 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.
