The Juggling Act

We loved having today’s guest on the show - Eddie Woo is the country’s favourite maths teacher, and after chatting with him about his love of numbers and how he inspires kids - we can see why!  While Jules had a farm stay with the fam for the weekend and it has them asking whether country or city life is better for kids.

We are super excited to have today’s guest back on the podcast - Sarah Marie is one of the stars of Googlebox and we love how honest and relatable she is about parenting -  this episode is no exception. Plus, we've had some grim weather on the east coast lately so Mel resorted to that life saving hell on earth - the play centre.

Our guest today is rock star mum-of-six Jana Pittman, who after competing in both the summer and winter olympics decided to study to be an obstetrician. Jules and Mel now feel lazy for streaming and sipping wine every evening. She opens up about the days when she just can't, how she manages those days and why mother's need to talk more about how hard it is. While Jules' partner Cam has a bad case of man flu, and there's not a lot of sympathy coming his way.

Kirsty is a mum of three who has opened up about her time volunteering on the children’s oncology ward and how that experience has shaped her outlook on life and how she approaches motherhood.

All parents know the name of today’s guest all too well - and probably send up a silent thank you to her every time their child eats! Annabel Karmel is with us all the way from London and looks back on her incredible 30 year career as the ‘Queen of Wean’ and the terrible event that led her to where she is today. And Jules opens up and the challenging past few weeks and how you can try to keep going when you really feel like you can't.

Clench your pelvic floor for today’s guest, we’re joined by comedian Felicity Ward who had a baby during covid and with it a whole new comedy routine about the juggle of motherhood. From pregnancy to parenting and now chasing a toddler around - nothing is off limits. And we share stories of frightening moments parents have lost their children, after a horrifying CCTV captured the moment a toddler waddled towards a main road without the mother noticing.
