This week on No Parental Guidance, we’re joined by former doctor and bestselling author Adam Kay for a hilarious, honest and slightly chaotic deep dive into your parenting dilemmas.

From pregnancy fears to “is this normal?” moments, Adam answers your biggest questions, including concerns around gestational diabetes, measuring big during pregnancy, and why sometimes your baby just isn’t following the “rules”.

We also get into the reality behind medical advice, why Google isn’t always your friend, and the truth about how accurate those routine pregnancy checks really are.

And then… things take a turn.

Adam shares some of the most shocking (and genuinely unbelievable) things he’s seen during his time as a doctor, including the kind of A&E stories that will stay with you forever :eyes:

As always, it’s honest, funny and full of those moments that make you realise you’re definitely not the only one questioning everything.

If you’ve ever spiralled over a symptom, questioned whether something is “normal”, or just wanted a doctor to answer your parenting questions without judgment, this episode is for you.

This week we’re joined by the incredible Katie Piper. Best-selling author, OBE, activist, mum of two, and an absolute powerhouse of resilience.

And yes… this episode is parenting, unfiltered. From navigating teen phones, iMessage vs. WhatsApp dilemmas, and missed birthday parties, to high-street “spy missions” tracking your kids like a pro, Katie keeps it real about modern motherhood.

We also dive into sleepless nights caused not by kids, but by snoring partners, and the lengths you’ll go to reclaim a few hours of rest, sometimes hilariously questionable.

There’s talk of step competitions, tech hacks for independence, and NaviLens which is changing how Katie navigates everyday life.

Katie opens up about balancing life with a disability, raising confident girls, and parenting through the seasons, where rules, routines, and strategies constantly shift. There’s nostalgia for BBM, Blockbuster dates, and teen skincare tips that will make you laugh out loud.

It’s chaotic, funny, and deeply relatable. If you’ve ever questioned your parenting choices, struggled with social media for your kids, or just wondered how to survive the teen years, this one’s for you.

The Ultimate Parenting Fail: The story involving a toddler, a Beagle named Douglas, and a finger that left Anna speechless.

Dating After Divorce: How Anna "completed" Hinge, dealt with "pedestal" guys, and found a blueprint of worthiness for her daughters.

The "Geriatric" Myth: Having baby #3 at 43 and the reality of waters breaking right after a stage show.

Flex Appeal: Why Anna is marching on Whitehall and how we can stop apologising for the "math not mathing" between school hours and work hours.

Magpie Parenting: A raw look at navigating separation and telling the children.

Whether you're struggling with the school WhatsApp group, feeling the "Motherhood Penalty" at work, or just need to know you're not the only one "flapping" through life, this episode is a maternal hug (and a much-needed reality check).

We finally did it! Our very first LIVE recording of No Parental Guidance with a community of mums and all because of Tea and Toast!

After our "Tea and Toast" reel went viral, we realised two things: 1) Hospital toast is a spiritual experience, and 2) Way too many of you were robbed of yours!

We gathered a room full of amazing women to celebrate International Women's Day and Mother's Day by doing what we do best; sharing the absolute chaos of motherhood. From "severing yourself in half" to sucking snot out of a babies nose, no topic was off-limits.

Warning TMI ahead. We discused pregnancy cravings from eating pounds of cheese to craving the smell of exhaust fumes. There's a public apology from Louise to her sister sat in the audience, talk of a butt-naked run through M&S, and the "behind the sofa" poo incident.

We started this podcast because there is no such thing as a perfect parent. We are all just "walking fails" trying to find our village. Whether you're a "Cheddar" mum, a "Spag Bol" mum, or a "farted on a stranger on a plane" mum, you belong here.

Did you get your tea and toast? What was your first post-birth meal? Tell us your most embarrassing "Parenting Fail" in the comments! :point_down:
