This week on The Blunt and The Beautiful, Kate and Tansy dive into the real, raw, and occasionally chaotic terrain of motherhood, from toddler tantrums to teen meltdowns and everything in between.

Kate shares what it was like raising a very “spirited” Tansy (yes, there are stories), while also reflecting on what it really means to raise a good kid in today’s world. Spoiler: it’s not about being your child’s best friend.

Should mums and daughters be friends? Or is that a recipe for disaster?

In this episode, we unpack: The line between being a parent and being a pal

When Tansy was a nightmare — and how Kate handled it

Why Kate believes mums should want their daughters to be better than them 

The pressure modern parents feel to be perfect and their daughters

What it actually takes to raise kind, curious, emotionally intelligent humans

This one is perfect for mums, daughters, future parents, or anyone reflecting on their own childhood and parent dynamics. It’s full of laughs, big truths, and the kind of honesty no parenting book ever gives you.
