This week on Mums Interrupted, we’re in full “real life” mode — gym hunger and protein chats, the winter sickness carousel, and why winter feels like a literal money pit when you’ve got small kids.

Then we get into the clip that’s been everywhere: the Diary of a CEO conversation about declining birth rates and whether society should “intervene” — and why it feels wildly tone-deaf when women are the ones carrying the mental load, the cost, and the reality of parenting.

We also chat meal-prep hacks for hungry toddlers, pancake day ideas, and Jade’s new parenting plot twist: Margot has started lying with a straight face… and we need the mum hive mind to weigh in.

his week’s episode is brought to you by wine 🍷 because honestly… it’s been one of those weeks.

We’re chatting through the chaos of trying to do it all — work, kids, life, sanity — and failing gracefully (or not so gracefully) along the way. No plan, no structure, just two mums decompressing over a drink, oversharing slightly, and laughing at the madness of it all.

Expect tangents, honesty, mild chaos, and the kind of chat you have when you finally sit down and say, “Right… what actually just happened this week?”

If you’ve had a week where everything felt a bit much, pour a glass and join us — you’ll feel very seen 🍷

In this episode, we’re kicking off the new year with a very honest conversation about motherhood, identity, and learning to let go of the pressure we put on ourselves.

We talk about going back to work after maternity leave, the guilt that comes with handing your baby over, and that constant pull between excitement and fear. There’s chat about mum anxiety, mental load, sleep deprivation, and the emotional hangover that comes with being “on” all the time.

We also dive into dating after kids, rebuilding confidence, letting go of old patterns, and why sometimes you have to stop trying to be everything for everyone. From therapy chats and mum guilt to dating apps, first dates, and finding joy again — this episode is raw, funny, and deeply relatable.

If you’re a mum trying to find yourself again, questioning everything, or just needing a reminder that you’re not alone — this one’s for you.
