    Fresh Take: The Custody Queens on What Parents Need to Know About Divorce and Separation

    What should parents know if they're considering divorce? Margaret talks with family law attorneys Kristen Holstrom and Samantha McBride—the hosts of the "Custody Queens" podcast—about custody disputes, co-parenting conflict, child support, digital footprints, and the biggest mistakes people make during separation. Drawing from years of experience in high-conflict custody and divorce cases, Kristen and Samantha explain how family court actually works, why “amicable” divorces can still require strong boundaries, and how parents can protect themselves and their children emotionally, financially, and legally. The conversation covers: Why every custody case is unique—and why Facebook advice can backfire The difference between staying amicable and giving up your rights How courts evaluate custody arrangements and parenting concerns Child support myths, enforcement, and financial responsibility The long-term consequences of social media posts, texts, and digital evidence Why courts care more about safety concerns than personal betrayal Co-parenting with a difficult ex or a new romantic partner in the picture How therapy, documentation, and realistic expectations can reduce conflict Here's where you can find Samantha and Kristen: https://custodyqueens.com/ @custodyqueens and @custodyqueensonair on IG @custodyqueens on TikTok @custodyqueenson-air on YT Listen to "Custody Queens" wherever you listen to podcasts Custody Queens Off the Clock, Kristen and Sam's true crime pod What Fresh Hell is co-hosted by Amy Wilson and Margaret Ables.

    Episode 183: Siobhan Priest

    Siobhan Priest - or Shiv - appears as @thefiremum on Instagram and I love seeing her posts about her life as a firefighter in the London Fire Brigade. Shiv started her working life as a model and continued in that job when she became a single mum to her daughter, at the age of 24.  However she says she was always looking for a helping role in life. Firefighting appealed from an early age but it took many years for her to research it properly and then go for it when her second child, her little boy, was starting school. She loves the routine and stability that her job gives her, and being part of a watch where she has 10 ‘brothers’. Shiv says that every day is different, and putting out a fire is fun, as it’s a hands-on job and they are professional problem-solvers. Shiv is proud of being a firefighter and of influencing other women to follow in her footsteps, and it was an absolute joy to meet someone so excited and fulfilled by their job.

    'My Pure Existence Is An Issue For Some People' Talia Mar on Raising a Daughter, Pregnancy Being Absolute Hell & Being An Autistic Mum

    This week on Mum's The Word, Georgia Jones is joined by singer and new mum Talia Mar, and she's refreshingly honest about the parts of motherhood no one warns you about. Talia opens up about why pregnancy was far from the glowing, magical experience she expected, how her autism diagnosis changed the way she understands herself, and the moment having a daughter made her see the world completely differently. From battling hyperemesis gravidarum to navigating the overstimulation of new motherhood as a neurodivergent woman, Talia shares the coping strategies, the hard moments, and the humour that's got her through it all. The pair get into the real conversations every mum is having right now: Pregnancy nobody prepares you for — from HG to lightning crotch (yes, really)Being a neurodivergent mum — managing overstimulation, masking & finding your rhythmRaising a daughter in today's world — and why it sparked Talia's powerful new single LadyThe female experience — from street harassment to the double standards we've all just… acceptedScreen time & gaming — why Talia thinks games get a bad rap (and what Georgia learns about Minecraft)Getting an autism diagnosis as an adult woman — and why it was a relief, not a label There are laughs, lightbulb moments, and plenty of "why did no one tell us this?" honesty. If you've ever felt like motherhood is overwhelming, messy, and nothing like the Instagram version… this episode is for you. 🎧 Listen now to Mum's The Word: The parenting podcast that says what everyone else is thinking.
