Season 3, Episode 10 of On the Sofa with British Mums brings a lively, relatable chat as host Emma is joined by Jen to sit down with Lauren—a busy mum of one, pregnant with her second, long-time British Mums community member, and entrepreneur behind Ride Skipper, the British-owned UAE safety driver service that sends vetted, professional drivers to drive families in their own cars so they can get from A to B safely and stress-free.
In this episode, they dive into the beautiful chaos of juggling work, pregnancy, motherhood, and growing a business, while also unpacking the real worries mums have around car safety—from school runs and after-school activities to airport trips and nights out. Lauren shares how real-life parenting challenges inspired Ride Skipper, how the service works in practice, and why having trusted drivers who understand family needs can make such a difference to everyday logistics.
Between practical insight and plenty of giggly mum chat, the conversation covers busy schedules, car seats, seat belts, and what “safe enough” really means when it comes to protecting little passengers in the UAE. It’s the perfect listen for anyone who’s ever done the mental gymnastics of planning pickups, bedtimes, and work calls—often from the front seat of the car
