    'You're Making Them Worse' | Georgia Jones & Kelsey Parker's Brutal Verdict on Gentle Parenting

    Georgia & Kelsey aren't holding back this week. Gentle parenting? A generation of "snowflakes"? Kelsey thinks we're raising kids who can't sit a driving test or face a job interview, and she's got the receipts. When Bodhi begged not to go to his gymnastics competition, she made him go anyway. He came home with a medal. Georgia, the reformed shy kid, shares a story about her own dad refusing to let her quit a beauty pageant. Inside this episode: Why saying "no" makes your child feel safer, not sadderThe one parenting label that could be quietly damaging your kidThe gentle-parenting "trauma" myth and what actually causes it Plus: a homeopathy kit vs. a full Boots haul, feral camping toddlers, and the Skye Newman lyric no mum wants blasting from the back seat. Top five holiday-packing regrets included, starting with the first aid kit Kelsey flat-out refuses to bring. Grab a cuppa. This one gets spicy. A Create Podcast Hosted on Acast.

    'Contraception Parks & Birthing a Velociraptor' | Comedian Hannah East on Unhinged Mum Life, Going on Tour & Why Yellow Is Her Era Now

    This week Georgia Jones sits down with comedian and mum-of-three Hannah East for a chat that goes so far off-piste they have to remind themselves they're actually recording a podcast. Turns out these two go way back: Georgia handed Hannah her prize at Miss Scarborough nearly two decades ago, and they've somehow retraced almost the exact same path from pageants and presenting to parenting content ever since. Hannah gets real about building a following of hundreds of thousands from filming herself in wigs in her bedroom, the lactating video that changed everything after nobody cared about her fitness content, and going from five-people-and-a-bottle-of-red comedy gigs to a sold-out theatre tour her dad genuinely thought was a trip to the pub. Plus all the good stuff: why Center Parcs is basically contraception parks, dressing your kids in high-vis so you don't lose them, the mental load nobody warns you about, husbands and their paddle elbow, and exactly what to do (and never do) in a school WhatsApp group. Oh, and one of them may have fallen into a bush. Grab a cuppa and get comfy. A Create Podcast Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    'It's Not Screen Time, It's Screen Use' | Tom Le Tissier, Head of Alleyn's Regent's Park, on the 11+, iPads & Helping Children Find Their Thing

    This week Georgia Jones and Kelsey Parker are joined by Tom Le Tissier, Head of Alleyn's Regent's Park, for a chat about school choices, screens and what actually makes children thrive, and yes, it's his very first podcast. Tom explains the 11+ properly (Georgia had to Google it that morning), why more families are looking for a route around it, and how quickly children soak up their parents' panic. Then it goes deeper: the difference between screen time and screen use, why an iPad should just be "an extension of the pencil case," and how we've got more protective in the real world at exactly the moment we should be loosening the reins. Plus teaching children to fail well, why the best athletes and musicians specialise late, and his top five things he wishes parents understood about school. Kelsey opens up about how her daughter Aurelia was held after losing Phoenix, Georgia shares the maths teacher who put her off numbers for life, and Tom confesses to sprinting flat out in an inflatable shark costume while every other teacher was just having a laugh. Grab a cuppa and get comfy. Alleyn's Regent's Park is a co-educational preparatory school for children aged 3 to 11, offering an inspiring and joyful education in the heart of North London. Set moments from Regent's Park and London Zoo, we combine 400 years of educational tradition with the creativity and forward-thinking approach children need to thrive. https://www.alleyns-regentspark.org.uk/ A Create Podcast Hosted on Acast.

    'Why Did They Treat Us Like That?' | Kelsey Parker opens up to Georgia Jones One Year On From Phoenix's Passing

    One year on from losing Phoenix, Kelsey opens up about the paramedics, the video no one could watch, and being told she could only hold her son "through a mattress." She's still fighting for answers, and still, she says, living with PTSD. Georgia, meanwhile, is deep in default-parent mode: a one-night washing protest, Cooper's strict holiday budget, and a lawn-seeding standoff keeping the paddling pool firmly in the shed. This episode covers the big stuff: Kelsey's PTSD one year on, and the fight for accountability that's still ongoingThe Robinson's Room she had to plead to get intoWhy women can be prosecuted for a "medical experience" and men can'tGeorgia's realisation that mums are always the default parent Plus: a fake puncture, Will's tan lines, "toxic energy" accusations, and a newly vegan kid who's ruined packed lunch forever. Top five 90s/2000s throwbacks also make the cut: Woolworths pick and mix included. Grab a cuppa. This one's a good one. A Create Podcast Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    This week Georgia Jones sits down with Stevie White from Jaackmate's Happy Hour for a chat about stepdad life, baby loss and finding your way back after grief. Stevie gets real about meeting Isaac at three, the sloth teddy that sealed the deal, and the moment Isaac called him "Dad" completely out of the blue. Then it goes deeper: losing baby Noah to a termination for medical reasons at 23 weeks, the rare DNA translocation no doctor had seen before, finding out on Christmas Eve, and the brave decision he and Ariane made about their family afterwards. Plus the lighter stuff: a 28-hour charity stream for Sands, a hair transplant gone Buzz Lightyear, and the Cromer Marathon he won't shut up about. Grab a cuppa and get comfy.

    I Nosedived Straight Into Perimenopause' | Natasha Hamilton on Five Kids, Mum Guilt & Finishing Her Story Her Own Way

    This week Georgia Jones sits down with Atomic Kitten's Natasha Hamilton for a chat about motherhood across four decades, perimenopause and reclaiming her music career on her own terms. Natasha gets real about becoming a mum again at 43 after IVF, the emergency surgery that followed, and what it was like being a 20-year-old pop star with postnatal depression and a newborn on a world tour, back when the right support just wasn't there. Then it goes deeper: the mental breakdown that led her to therapy, parenting a 24-year-old and a toddler at the same time, the terrifying social media experiment that changed how she protects her daughter, and why HRT gave her her life (and her marriage) back. Plus the music: her new EP Extraction, the deeply personal track White Feather written for her late grandmother, and the family-filled video where her daughter plays a young Natasha.
