Because let’s be real - nobody should have to do it alone! In this week's Share Your Shit, a struggling and honest mam opens up and shares her frustration of feeling like a bad parent, comparing herself to others.

    Raising Sons Right, Managing Mam Rage, and Men’s Mental Health

    In this episode of Mamma Social The Podcast, Kayleigh’s having a tough week, she’s on her period and wrestling with serious anger issues. The two mums share stories about their misbehaving kids, with Lauren’s son, Oax, literally kicking a lady! They also dish about how their partners drive them mad and somehow end up on a tangent about “weird” toes and fingers (yes, we’re as confused as you are!). Pits and Peaks this week explores everything from Kayleigh’s latest hobby, clay pigeon shooting, to the ongoing challenge of keeping their Not Safe for Kids podcast content away from their curious kids. This Week’s Topic is Men’s Mental Health, a crucial subject for mums and dads alike. Kayleigh and Lauren dive into the unique challenges that men face as fathers, discussing everything from the pressure to provide to dealing with postpartum issues and overstimulation. Kayleigh calls up her partner, Dale, who shares insights into the pressures of fatherhood and offers advice for other struggling dads. They also discuss the big question: how can we raise sons to be empathetic, emotionally intelligent men? In Share Your Shit, a fellow mum confesses she’s been tempted to stretch out an injury for a bit of extra rest and honestly, who can blame her? Kayleigh wraps up the episode with a surprising fact about how men view their parenting skills, leaving listeners with lots to think about.

    From Trick-or-Treat Laughs to Firework Controversies – Plus a Roast Dinner Showdown!

    Kayleigh and Lauren celebrate a successful Halloween, swapping funny trick-or-treat stories, with Kayleigh sharing another of Freddie’s hilarious ‘Robin Hood’ moments. Lauren’s on cloud nine after Alan Shearer liked her Instagram reel, though Glen’s less thrilled about it... In Pits and Peaks, the pair chat about sore shoulders, much-needed date nights, and some overdue ‘undercarriage’ maintenance (we know you get it, mams!). Kayleigh’s even taken up a brand new hobby – can you guess what it might be this time? This Week’s Hot Topic: Bonfire Night! Lauren’s not a big fan of the annual celebration, while Kayleigh is all about the sparkles (and keeping carrots handy for sparkler safety!). They also dig into the hot debate over fireworks around pets and whether they should be harder to get your hands on. And in Share Your Shit, things get messy with a pub poo disaster! To top it off, Kayleigh and Lauren go head-to-head over who can make the ultimate Sunday dinner.

    Parenting Through Halloween: Costumes, Ghost Stories, and Postpartum Rage

    This week on Mama Social The Podcast, hosts Lauren and Kayleigh are bringing you a Halloween special episode. They dive into the joy (and cringe) of wearing costumes as adults, with Lauren sharing her love for all things scary and inflatable.

This week’s Pits and Peaks include a holiday adventure and some honest reflections on postpartum rage. Kayleigh shares a hilarious story about her son Freddie turning into Robin Hood during their family holiday. They also open up about rage moments that every mum can relate to. As the episode wraps up, they swap spooky and ghost stories—including a real-life eerie tale from Kayleigh, who talks about her childhood ability to 'see' things that eventually faded away. To top it all off, they share a fascinating and fun Halloween fact to get you in the spooky spirit!

    The Cheese Monster: Surviving Bedtime Dramas, Family Shopping Trips and School Messenger Groups

    This week on Mamma Social, Kayleigh tells Lauren to care less about what she looks like in the Mamma Social neon sign light. Will the sign stay or will it go?! The ladies vent about bedtime dramas and the rarity of lie-ins (which anything after 7am is considered a lie-in).  Pits and peaks include Kayleigh’s stroppy shopping trips with her kids and partner Dale. She also talks about meeting mams that listened to the podcast and that met on a Mamma Social Co walk. For Lauren, she shares about her rubbish sleep, going to work and getting facials. They discuss the Aldi wooden toy event, re-sellers, stockpiling, and how this turns people into Vinted fiends.  This episode explores the pain of getting a place for your child in your local school and tips on how to make your school journey better. The mammas also chat through fighting to get a car parking space for school runs and the overload of school message chats.  With multiple share your sh!ts this week, they discuss more about the difficulty of raising your kids in the modern village, babies left in prams by sleep deprived mams, escaping toddlers who play with Weetabix on the floor, and children that just stare at their parents in the middle of the night.

    Coping with Baby Loss: A Conversation with Elle for Baby Loss Awareness Week

    Trigger Warning: This episode discusses baby loss. This week on Mamma Social The Podcast, Lauren reflects on last week’s tyre trouble and gives a candid update on how Oax is adjusting to school—sharing both the happy moments and the challenges (including some intense screaming!). Kayleigh shares her experience attending a charity boxing match and the pair explore a thought-provoking question: Should parents lie to their kids to protect them or make life easier? Special guest Elle joins the podcast for a deeply personal and important conversation in recognition of Baby Loss Awareness Week. Elle shares her heartbreaking story of losing her daughter, Giorgia, who was stillborn at full term in 2019. She discusses how she explained the loss to her 3-year-old son, the emotional journey of coming to terms with having no clear answers, and how she coped with the overwhelming grief. Elle also talks about the support she received from Tommy’s, a leading charity dedicated to preventing baby loss, as well as her experience navigating another pregnancy while dealing with anxiety and fear. She offers practical advice for parents going through similar situations, such as taking one step at a time, and highlights supportive organisations that were crucial in her healing journey. Elle stresses the importance of breaking the silence around baby loss—encouraging listeners to simply ask bereaved parents about their baby, listen to their stories, and be there for them.
