Join us, Jacqueline and Lauren, mum-daughter legends (self described) as we welcome 2026 with open arms, reflecting on our personal growth, motherhood, and our dreams for the business in 2026 and beyond. 

In this episode, we are chatting about embracing life's chapters, setting meaningful intentions, and the importance of authentic connections. 

We share our visions for the future, including the desire to bring people together for deep, impactful conversations (Sunday Brunch anyone!?) 

This episode is perfect for anyone looking to feel inspired and connected as they navigate their own paths into the New Year and into the next chapter.

We are so grateful to have you here listening as we go into a new year in the podcast - and as always please get in touch with us anyway you fancy!

We love hearing from you.

With love,

The Blondes

Join us as we say Adios! to 2025 and set our intentions for 2026.

After an “Interesting” and “Fascinating” year we are both so excited for what’s to come, but we aren’t moving on without celebrating what we are proud of. 

Whether you’re setting New Year’s Resolutions, intentions or choosing your word of the year, this is for you!

Here are the questions to help you decide how you want this year to look.

"How do I want to feel this year?"

"What do I want more of in my inner world?"

"What am I practicing letting go of?"

"What intention feels kind rather than demanding?"

"What would it mean to stay with yourself this year?"

"What are you no longer forcing?"

With love, 

See you next year!

The Blondes

Whether you’re all ready for the big day or listening while wrapping Christmas presents we want to wish you a very, Merry Christmas ❤️

When better than Christmas to talk about traditions and roles, especially those we play as we make our way closer to the big day. 

Some of us happily baste the turkey (not us, neither of us cook!) and some of us take the brunt of the present buying decisions - however it looks, whatever roles and traditions you take into the holiday period, we hope you do it in a way that lights you up. 

And for those of you whose Christmas looks a little different, for the non-celebrators, the lonely folks, the ones still riding the “it’s all on me and I’m exhausted” train - we love you too. 

You’re all welcome here, and we can’t wait to hear all about your celebrations.  

Have you sat down and really celebrated this year yet?

We know as a mum-daughter duo who are both recovering people-pleasers and perfectionists that celebrating our wins is something that doesn’t happen often enough! 

And as the first Christmas and end of year with a podcast (that’s officially been live for over 6 months 🥳) we wanted to take some time to properly celebrate before this ear disappears into the mince pie and wrapping paper fog. 

We would LOVE to hear what you’re celebrating, big or small. 

Because one of the key pieces of knowing you matter, of being able to be present, is recognising how far you’ve come. 

We’ll see you next week for the Christmas Episode!

Lauren and Jacqueline

Welcome back to part 2 of ‘How well do we really know each other?!’

As a mum-daughter team who’ve always had a good relationship, I think you’ll be shocked at just how little we actually know about each other, save for the foods we’d eat every day for the rest of our lives. 

If you’re looking for a podcast that is feel-good, easy laughs and shows what healing generational trauma looks like on the days off - this is for you!

And honestly, we’d love to hear what you think of Jacqueline’s funeral song… 

Have fun, and as always we would love to hear from you! Let us know any questions you want us to ask each other for part 3…

Loadsa love,

The Blondes

Jacqueline and Lauren

This week Lauren talks about the fact that this year she is the least stressed she has ever been (shocked? Us too)

Wy?

Because she’s let go of all the stuff she thinks she has to do. 

Wild, we know.

But when you spend Christmas trying to make it perfect “because of the kids” or because it’ll help keep the peace, let’s be honest the only person missing out is you. 

Choosing to honour that little voice that says “I don’t want to” as often as you can is ridiculously powerful. 

So if you’ve been asking yourself what’s wrong with you, because you don’t seem to enjoy the holidays the same way it appears everyone else does, this episode is for you. 

And live until December 7th (because it won’t be as useful to you after then!) is ‘Rewrite the Rules’ - the first step to taking back December so you can step into January feeling real flipping good.

Have you ever found yourself half way through an argument only to realise, maybe what you’re arguing about is coming from somewhere unexpected?

This week Lauren let’s us in on a little snippet of her relationship and how her own inner critic comes out in her conversations. 

If you find yourself wondering ‘Why do I always hurt?’ and questioning how your loved ones truly feel about you, this is the episode for you. 

It might just give you that little bit of insight needed to finally understand that our perception of the world is heavily influenced by our judgment of ourselves. 

As always we bring it back to self compassion.

We would love to hear from you if you’ve ever felt like this and as always drop your conversation starters for us below!

Join us for the silliest episode yet, we needed a break and we reckon you do too!

Today we really put our relationship to the test as we answer questions about our favourite colours, takeaway orders, TV shows, celebrities we'd invite to dinner, and even delve into school subjects we loved and hated. 

The episode is filled with laughter (well, cackling), personal anecdotes (because when do we ever shut up), and deep insights into our relationship

So, if you’re down for a bit of Pedro (Daddy) Pascal, Lauren’s love of cheese pizza and Jacqueline not really being able to breathe… you’re in the right place.

It’s cute, it’s an easy listen and we would LOVE for you to send us your questions when we get around to recording part 2!

Choosing a primary school should be simple (right?). But what if it cracks open your past, your fears, and your deepest hopes for your child’s future?

Existential crisis anyone?

In this episode, Lauren shares the surprisingly emotional rollercoaster of choosing a primary school for her almost-4-year-old, and how the process made her re-examine her own story of transition, safety, and self-trust. 

Jacqueline, her mum, listens as a mother, grandmother and someone who knows so much more now than when she had her own toddler mum experience all those years ago.

Together they explore:

• Why some decisions feel bigger than they are
  

• What it means to truly know your child
  

• How our own school experiences (and nervous systems) show up decades later
  

• The invisible stories parents carry into “practical” decisions
  

Whether you’re a parent, carer, grandparent or someone who's navigating any kind of big decision, this one’s for you. 

Because sometimes the scariest part isn’t what you choose, it’s why it matters so much.

Listen in and let us know: What choices are really about more than just the choice?

And for Lauren, have you struggled with the Primary School decision? How did you make your decision?

In this episode, we’re talking about what it really means to become your own home.

Whether you’re new to nervous system work or have been on a long self-healing journey, this conversation brings together our experiences as a mother-daughter team navigating life, leadership, and restoration, from two different angles, but always circling the same fire.

We explore Jacqueline’s signature program The House of You (formerly Restoration), not as a pitch (don't worry) but as a powerful metaphor. What changes when you stop trying to be “fixed,” and instead learn to live like someone worth coming home to?

✨ How do your past selves live in the same space as the one you’re becoming?

✨ What do your inner foundations look like?

✨ How do you care for yourself like you would a place you love to live in?

We share personal insights, big realisations, the dance of working together, and a poem that sums it all up (thank you Erin Hanson).

Plus, we shout out the wonderful @haz.j.m for her creative genius and the work she’s doing with both of our brands.

🎧 Come for the metaphor, stay for the messy, real talk on being human.
