Mixed Mams

It’s been 3 quick months since the girls were last in the studio. A lot has happened… Her Majesty the Queen has passed away, we’ve had two… yes TWO new Prime Ministers and Celebrities are in the Jungle!

Other topics touched on include You do you Hun, Sara’s self diagnosed ADD (from Social Media Reels), the cost of things (not financial) and egg shortage frenzies!

Enjoy! X

What a random mix of all sorts. The ladies discuss a-levels, stress, if ‘everything’ happens for a reason, fear, ego’s, following your heart and the list goes on… Esther’s tears have been missing in action for some time now but are back with a vengeance in this episode!

The girls are joined by Marj, who is NOT the Head of the Menopause Society much to Esther’s disappointment, but she is a menopausal woman who shares with the girls, some of the many many trials and tribulations of the menopause. She talks so openly about her own experience in a hope to help get the conversations started around the menopause. She is an inspiration and you’re sure to listen to this episode with a smile on your face. Finishing off with a crack about Marathon Man and Mountain Mike to help raise awareness of some of the amazing challenges they’re taking on! The podcast recording is plagued by technical issues with some interesting outcome… wait for cut off and the re-start! Ever the professionals. Enjoy guys! #menopause #dryvagina #hormones #perimenopause #taboo

It’s been 2 months since the girls were last in the studio so there’s plenty to catch up on. Topics this week touch on football supporters, Deborah James - BowelBabe and being genuinely Happy. Esther and Sam decide they’re going to be less reactive! #MixedMams #WeHateFootballHooligans #BeHappy #NeverComplainNeverExplain #DoesTheQueenSayThat

After a round up of the last few weeks in the lives of the mixed mams… this episode sees the ladies talk about Down Syndrome in the days running up to Down Syndrome Awareness Day - 21st March. They are accompanied by the lovely Kate who shares her story around the diagnosis of her unborn baby with Down Syndrome, re-living the conversations and feelings she had throughout her pregnancy and beyond. Ending with a chat about the devastating situation in Ukraine… what is happening in the world. Esther makes a blunder, Sam is her usual golden nugget self and Sara cant get the intro just right - so Esther in her majesty takes over.

Little round up of the last 7 (YES SEVEN!!!) months and an intoduction to the newest member of Saras family… Olive! New Year new me sees not one single tear shed by the usually emotional Esther and Sam is the same old Golden Nugget she always has been. The girls discuss feminism… but it’s not (all) about hating on the men!

This is defo one of the most random podcasts the girls have done to date. Discussion from how a child’s brain works to self love, me time to cleaning the house and tics to scabby nails. It’s all going on!

The ladies go off on a few tangents this week when Esther fails to reign them in back on topic! Free Britney is discussed, touching in gaslighting and manipulation. Then the Topic Jar offers ‘Role Models’ as a discussion point which results in all sorts of conversations! Filters, Body changing apps, the Kardashians, boys have body issues too, dieting, let’s start a revolution! Shock horror, Esther gets emosh!

An update on Sara’s dating life, epic parent fails, trips to the dentist, snowflakes and much more. The girls discuss the pressure to be practically perfect in every way touching social media, peer pressure and online safety.

Quick catch up with the girls to see how their week’s been. They discuss Daisy Therapies with Esther swaying from side to side and Sara falling asleep. The good old topic jar is back accompanied by a few of Esther’s amazing accents! Boundaries are talked about and The Golden Nugget gets pretty heated!
