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

This week on Mum’s The Word, Kelsey Parker is joined by Joanna Proud, founder and creator of the hugely loved Mood Bears—the colourful characters helping children (and adults) talk about their feelings.

Joanna opens up about how Mood Bears was born from her own childhood, growing up in a home where emotions weren’t openly discussed, and why teaching her own children to understand and express their feelings has become so important to her.

In this honest and wide-ranging conversation, they also chat about:

🧸 How Mood Bears came to life

💔 Trusting her instincts and separating from her husband because it felt right

👧 How her children reacted to that change

📺 Her experience going on Dragon’s Den

🐶 Why she has 15 dogs (yes, really!)

📱 Her brand-new app Pet Attix - “Vinted for pet owners”

🎤 And her unexpected love for attending Harry Styles gigs

It’s a heartfelt, funny, and inspiring episode about emotions, motherhood, brave decisions, and following your gut, even when it feels scary.
