Mum's The Word! With Georgia Jones & Kelsey Parker

This week on Mum’s The Word, Georgia Jones and Kelsey Parker are back for a proper catch-up, and it’s safe to say parenting hasn’t exactly gone to plan.

Georgia kicks things off with the chaos of the first week back after half-term when Cooper injures his toe… leaving her questioning every parent’s dilemma: are they actually hurt or just trying to skip school?

Meanwhile Kelsey shares her brutally honest take on “work mum vs home mum mode” and why sometimes you’ve just got to send them in and see what happens.

The pair also dive into the pressure mums feel to do everything: work, parenting, friendships, social media and life. and why it often feels like you’re doing none of it well.

From half-term guilt and screen-time battles to den-building victories and the reality of juggling work with kids at home.

Plus, Kelsey spills on her Jet2 working holiday to Tenerife, the surprisingly brilliant kids’ club that kept everyone happy, and Georgia gives an update on her infamous “40 Before 40” list.

Expect laughs and the comforting reminder that none of us really have it all figured out.

Grab a cuppa, get comfy, and join Georgia and Kelsey for another episode of Mum’s The Word.

Georgia Jones and Kelsey Parker are back together for an episode that perfectly captures the messy reality of motherhood.

The heavy bits, the joyful bits, and everything in between.

Kelsey opens up about the truth that grief doesn’t stop motherhood and motherhood doesn’t stop purpose.

She reflects on why grieving Phoenix has, in some ways, felt harder than Tom with the children being older, and how even in the depths of grief, life as a mum keeps moving.

The conversation lightens as they move on to Kelsey’s newfound love of home cooking, how it’s become grounding, creative, and unexpectedly comforting during a tough chapter.

Georgia then shares her latest 40 Before 40 list, inspired by listener Kirsty, though she’s very clear there are some things she absolutely will not be attempting.

And of course, We Listen & We Don’t Judge returns, with not understanding maths homework, Googling “is this normal?” at ridiculous hours & letting kids win the odd argument just to keep the peace

This episode of Mum’s The Word is motherhood exactly as it is.

This week on Mum’s The Word, Kelsey Parker is joined by Caitlin Sheil and Leah Sheil for a powerful conversation about modern motherhood.

They open up about their IVF journey, the emotional highs and lows that came with it, and what it’s really like navigating life as a two-mum family in today’s world.

Plus, they share all about their debut children’s book, Wonder Mums, a joyful, action-packed celebration of LGBTQ+ families that’s already capturing hearts.

It's a beautiful reminder that there’s no one way to build a family.

Georgia Jones and Kelsey Parker are back together for a brilliantly chaotic catch-up that covers everything from everyday annoyances to unexpectedly emotional mum moments.

They vent about the absolute infuriation of speeding fines and parking tickets when you’re just trying to survive the school run, celebrate Cooper turning 8, and get a bit teary asking the big question: Are our kids growing up too fast? (Spoiler: yes, and we’re not okay about it.)

The girls also unpack how Valentine’s Day works in schools in 2026 (cards, crushes, chaos… all of it), before diving into a brand-new We Listen & We Don’t Judge segment which varies from Pancake Promises to No Regret Naps, packed with hilarious listener confessions that will make every parent feel seen.

This is mum life, exactly as it is.

She also flips the script on parenting older kids, sharing why having teenagers isn’t actually all bad (yes, really).

And because no Mum’s The Word episode is complete without a bit of joy and chaos, Emma also talks about her self-proclaimed love for the second man in her life, the one and only Gary Barlow, as well as Georgia revealing who her secret celebrity crush is.

Ross and Lucy also share what they were doing before the internet came calling, from hairdressing and cabin crew life to West End stages.

They chat about raising kids who are perhaps a little too comfortable at film premieres, compare notes on bedtime routines (or the lack of them) in what they dub the “bedtime Olympics,” and bond over one universal parenting truth: we all hate homework.

This episode is proof that parenting is messy, no matter how glossy it looks online.
