  1. “We could have a baby by NEXT YEAR” - The Turning Point in our Surrogacy Journey

    1 G FA

    “We could have a baby by NEXT YEAR” - The Turning Point in our Surrogacy Journey

    Louise has had a rare few days alone while Ryan and Leo headed off on their first father–son trip. Ryan reflects on what that one-on-one time meant to him, while Louise opens up about something many mums don’t say out loud: that she enjoyed the space, and why she refuses to feel guilt for needing time to herself. That honesty leads into a bigger conversation. Inspired by Emma Grede describing herself as a “three-hour mum”, we unpack the pressure around modern motherhood. How much time is “enough” with your kids, what’s expectation versus reality, and how our own experiences shape the kind of parents we want to be. We also share a major surrogacy update. It’s a big step forward, and one that brings a mix of hope, nerves, and the weight of everything starting to feel very real. And to close, we answer a listener question about how we navigated our darkest moments together and what it really took to come out the other side. 00:00 Introduction 01:50 Our double date weekend away 03:26 Our driving habits 07:22 Sam forgot to book a hotel room! 15:32 Ryan first trip alone with Leo 19:48 Ryan's Vision of Fatherhood 28:28 Louise's Solo Time away from Leo 34:03 No Mum Guilt in Taking Time Off 37:39 Emma Grede ‘Three Hour Mom’ Controversy 41:34 Sacrifices and Adaptability in Parenting 43:43 Our BIG Surrogacy Update 52:37 Listener Question: Keeping the Spark Alive Through Trauma 58:51 See you next week! 🗓 New episodes every Wednesday 📩 We’ve got a NEW email!

    What Do We Really Want Our Next Baby to be… Boy or Girl?

    Louise and Ryan kick things off with a simple question, would they want a boy or a girl next? But their answers reveal something deeper, opening up a conversation about the quiet fears of parenting in a world shaped by the manosphere and everything kids are exposed to online. That leads into screen time, boundaries, and the looming question every parent faces… what happens when your child asks for a phone? Their take might surprise you... Plus, Louise shares why she chose to go sober, and a listener question about surrogacy uncovers something unexpected… was Ryan always sure he wanted kids? 00:00 Intro 00:40 Leo's Challenging Behavior Phase 10:53 What Will Leo Be Like When He Grows Up? 12:00 Do we want a boy or girl next? 12:55 The Manosphere and Raising Respectful Men 17:29 The Fear of Having a daughter 20:26 When Will Leo Get a Phone? 22:55 Screen Time and Parenting Challenges 48:02 Louise's Sobriety Journey 1:00:20 Ryan originally didn't want children 1:02:17 Looking Ahead in our surrogacy journey 🗓 New episodes every Wednesday 📩 We’ve got a NEW email!

    It’s a full Thompson takeover this week, with Sam and mum Karen joining Louise. We get into teenage Louise… and it’s more chaotic than anyone remembers.

We also had to talk Made in Chelsea… with Karen’s reaction to them joining, plus her take on one of their most heated arguments.

    Louise and Ryan are back from Antigua and they have some BIG news…👀 After two years, Louise finally found her missing engagement ring. Which raises the question… is marriage finally on the cards? They also debrief the trip, from both Leo and Big Mike’s testing moments to Louise almost breaking her sobriety, there’s a lot to unpack. They talk about managing their IVF journey while away, and how it shifted their whole approach to the holiday. It also opens up a conversation about how holidays look different now they’re parents, which leads to an unexpected debate… should pubs be allowed to ban kids?

  5. The REAL Reason We’re Not Married Yet…

    The REAL Reason We’re Not Married Yet…

    Happy Birthday Louise!!! 🥳 Of course, as it’s her birthday we had a few surprises planned… starting with Ryan transforming into Louise’s “ideal man.” Or at least, that was the plan. Let’s just say it didn’t exactly go the way we expected. We also get into why Louise actually HATES her birthday, and the deeper reason behind it. That conversation takes an unexpected turn, leading to a very honest reveal about why Louise and Ryan still aren’t married… even after being engaged for eight years. This also opens up Ryan’s biggest regret from his proposal. Things get even more emotional as he shares a series of surprise gifts that leave Louise laughing, and a little teary. And just when she thinks it’s over, there’s one final surprise… a very special guest crashes the recording to wish Louise a happy birthday. You’ll have to listen to the end to find out who. 00:00 Ryan dresses up to surprise Louise!  00:41 Why Louise hates her birthday  06:03 Louise’s Childhood Birthday Experiences 10:05 The Root of Birthday Discomfort 12:18 Why we aren’t married yet?!  15:57 Louise’s ideal Birthday 18:38 Ryan’s Shocking Engagement Revelation 22:41 Louise’s best birthday feeling  25:03 Dream Birthday Scenario 29:06 Birthday Present Surprises 32:10 A Decade of Birthdays Journey Together  41:28 Advice to Younger Selves 45:28 Mystery guest surprise revealed!  🗓 New episodes every Wednesday 📩 We’ve got a NEW email!

  6. Why We Clash (and Still Make It Work)

    18 MAR

    Why We Clash (and Still Make It Work)

    This week we’re recording on the eve of our long-awaited trip - and let’s just Louise and Ryan approach holidays VERY differently... We chat honestly about how travelling as parents hits differently, the mental load of planning, and why even a dream getaway can come with nightmares (literally). Louise opens up about adjusting to life with a stoma bag and how it’s impacted confidence around things like swimwear and holidays, while Ryan shares what it’s been like supporting from the sidelines.  We also finally dive into love languages and how those differences can affect us. Add in our  Type A vs Type B approach and… yes, there are clashes. One thing we do agree on - the online storm surrounding the Bonnie Blue viral pregnancy story and what it says about the world our children are growing up.  We also share where our heads are at when it comes to future family planning and the difficult decisions that come with it during uncertain times. 🗓 New episodes every Wednesday 📩 We’ve got a NEW email!

  7. What our 4-year-old REALLY thinks of us...

    11 MAR

    What our 4-year-old REALLY thinks of us...

    This week on He Said, She Said, we’re chatting all about sleep habits, mums, and welcoming a very special (and very small) guest to the podcast… We kick things off with a catch-up on our trip to Scotland and what travelling with a four-year-old is really like. Then we dive into a surprisingly heated debate about sleep… which leads to talking about our own sleeping habits, snoring accusations, and whether couples should ever share a bed in the first place. With Mother’s Day around the corner, we spend some time reflecting on mums - from embarrassing childhood moments and the things we definitely took for granted, to the moment you realise your mum is just… a person. And finally… please welcome our youngest guest ever. Leo joins the pod to give his honest review of what mummy is really like at home and we put mum vs dad to the test in a game to see who actually knows Leo best. Spoiler: the answers are not what we expected. 🗓 New episodes every Wednesday 📩 We’ve got a NEW email! Want to get involved?
