In this penultimate episode, Kelly Ann and Sophie talk about the podcasting learning journey and plans for a future series. They unpick their experiences of school as students and as staff as their children prepare to enter the education system. Dreams for the future are discussed, including a crafting empire, opening a dress shop, and reinventing a campervan as a mobile library! 

In this episode, Kelly Ann and Sophie come together remotely from their respective workroom and desktop - because inevitably, life happened this week! They chat about what they wanted to be when they were 13 and how they used horoscopes to support each other growing up. They share the hobbies that stood the test of time (as well as the cringe-worthy ones) and the ones they are still hoping to try. On a more serious note, they dip into the tricky topic of 'mum-guilt' and how it can affect every aspect of our lives but in the end, they leave everyone with some positive thoughts and words of wisdom.

In this episode, caffeine fuelled Kelly Anne and Sophie talk about how they got to where they are today and what choices they had to make to find joy and fulfilment in their lives since having kids. They touch on the subjects of menopause, job interviews and the moments in their lives when they realised everything had to change. Sophie shares her views on an article about the challenges that this generation of parents face in the information age and how mothers strive to be practically perfect in every way, but usually to their own detriment. All this, whilst trying (but not very hard) to avoid talking about K.I.D.S!

There's even a sexy leggings update!
