Let Mummy Talk

There is a beautiful African proverb: 'It takes a village to raise a child.' Our African ancestors recognised that parenting is a shared responsibility - a communal affair - not just the concern of parents. But what happens when you don't have that village and you feel like you're drowning? After the devastating suicide of single mother, Livi Jay, we are discussing the importance of mothers' mental health, episode 26 is deep, heavy and thought provoking.

We saw a social post that said, 'Before you marry- discuss- parenting values, bills, debt, religion, goals, beliefs to instill in your children, values, family, culture, sexual expectations, financial expectations, family health, mental health, bucket list, careers, education, etc because love alone isn’t enough!' This post had us questioning everything about love. When is it not enough? When can you look past flaws, differences etc because you're in love? So we decided to discuss it. This episode features a chat with my long time, wise and outspoken friend, Sefa.

School's out and the summer holidays 2021 are here! Whilst for some, the idea of spending more time with our kids is viewed as a joyful, family bonding opportunity, for a lot of parents, the thought of having to entertain our children everyday for 6 whole weeks makes us want to pack a suitcase and run for the hills. Fast! But fear not! Episode 23 of the podcast may come in pretty handy to any overwhelmed, exhausted and uninspired parents. It's all about cool ideas and things to do with the kids during the summer holidays. Especially aimed at London parents

In a recent episode of Love Island, in which the contestants were tested to see how well they knew each other, a big pile of sh*t hit the fan for contestant Hugo after he revealed his dislike for ‘fake’ girls. It was all very dramatic and unnecessary- true Love Island style. But it got us thinking about our biggest turn offs. Joined by my hubby, Kevin, this episode is all about the top turn offs in a relationship for guys and girls in 2021. Expect the usual honest, fun and uplifting vibes.

Thirty is young- That is straight facts! But, when you hit your thirties, certain things start changing and you don't necessarily see these changes coming. From greying pubic hairs, to a much lower tolerance for alcohol, to an inability to stay awake beyond the opening credits of a movie, our thirties can provide a rather harsh reality check, quickly reminding us that we are getting on. On episode 21 of Let Mummy Talk, we discuss ageing, changes, growth and acceptance and denial. Joined by my good friend, Shaun, this one is relatable and fun. Enjoy x

After watching Youtube’s latest hit show, Blue Therapy, featuring two young black couples seeking relationship counselling from Therapist, Denise, there was a LOT to unpack. Blue Therapy basically allows us to get all up close and inna people’s business. These particular peoples are couples, Chioma and Paul and Deborah and Jamel. After hearing Deborah declare that she needs her man to buy her all the latest designer goods and treat her like a princess, instead of saving and investing his money, we just had to delve into a discussion about expectations of what you should bring to table when you meet someone. As well as all the usual shenanigans about good shows to watch on Netflix in 2021 and some good skincare recommendations.

Including discussions on how and why it helps, the different kinds of therapist and how to choose a therapist to meet your needs and help you work through your issues and unlock your full potential.
