In this episode of Mamma Social The Podcast, Kayleigh and Lauren aren’t sure how they’re feeling this week. They kick the episode off with a game of What’s in Lauren’s Bag? Can Kayleigh guess what treasures are inside?
From the chaos of non uniform days to kids refusing to join in, they’re calling out the endless themed days that are leaving mams in the UK exhausted. Plus, Kayleigh has yet another new hobby, (can you guess what it is this time?), and Lauren’s at her wits end with her kids defiance.
This week's topic dives into the heart of Mamma Social Co - building community and tackling the isolation many mams and parents in the UK face. 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. But the truth is, we’re all winging it and social media is a lie.
Plus - we announce an EXCITING new competition in collaboration with Pound Fun. Tune in to find out how you can get your hands on some free toys, just in time for Christmas!

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.

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. Tune in and let us know which meal you’d choose!

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. They also take a nostalgic trip down memory lane, reminiscing about childhood costumes, like bin bags and witches' fingers, and how Halloween has become more Americanised over the years.
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!

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.

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.

In this week’s episode of Mamma Social The Podcast, Kayleigh and Lauren kick things off with a hilarious (and slightly chaotic) story from the Sephora opening in Newcastle, where things took an unexpected turn after not one, but two rounds of projectile vomiting! Pits and peaks this week include fresh haircuts and football shenanigans.
The main topic? Parent guilt—the kind that keeps us up at night, whether it’s stressing over mistakes we make with our kids or wondering if frozen food for dinner is really that bad. Kayleigh and Lauren dive into guilt and how this can look different for mums and dads, with Kayleigh even roping in her husband Dale to get a dad’s perspective.
In Share Your Sh!t, things get real as the ladies discuss body-shaming grandparents and a mum wrestling with guilt over limiting family contact. Plus, Kayleigh drops a jaw-dropping stat—90% of mums experience mum guilt on the regular.

In this week’s episode of Mamma Social The Podcast, the hot topic this week is all about blended families and step-parenting. How do you navigate being a step-parent in today’s UK family dynamic? When is the right time to introduce ‘step-mum’ or ‘step-dad’ titles, or should you skip them altogether? Kayleigh and Lauren share their personal takes, asking whether it’s easier for men or women to step into this role, and the tough question of whether step-parents should discipline children. They also remind us how step-parents are total superhumans for taking on such an important role.
Pits and Peaks this week serve up a mix of laughs and shocks. Kayleigh shares a hilarious story involving the spa and a towel, while Lauren recounts a scary accident with Oakes, plus the worst school drop-off ever!
In this week's Share Your Sh!t segment, we tackle a classic ‘’you’re not my mum!” moment, with practical advice on handling step-parenting challenges. The ladies also discuss how every step-family situation is unique, and they highlight some eye-opening stats about how blended families are becoming one of the fastest-growing family types in the UK.
To wrap things up, Kayleigh and Lauren read out some lovely listener reviews and give a gentle nudge—don’t forget to leave your own review because it really helps the pod grow!

In this week’s episode of Mamma Social The Podcast, Kayleigh and Lauren are on a mission to keep it real—because what UK mum isn't knackered at the moment? Lauren’s riding high after finally getting a lie-in (after some serious begging), while Kayleigh has made a shocking discovery: running? Not for her. If you’re a mum who’s tried (and failed) to fall in love with running, you’ll be nodding along with this one!
Kayleigh’s new motto for the week is simple but genius: do small things—because, let’s face it, that’s all we’ve got energy for most days. The convo takes a tasty turn as Lauren spills the beans on her new obsession with protein shakes (move over, morning cuppa!), and they both swap tales of food intolerances. Pits and Peaks include the daily battle against messy homes (spoiler: the mess is winning), the bliss of cozying up in Uggs, and the sobering truth that a night out just doesn’t hit the same anymore. Kayleigh also shares a gross ick involving some soggy tuna sandwiches.
This week’s topic is hobbies for the kiddos: Should we be pushing them into hobbies, or just letting them figure it out on their own? And what kind of parent are you when it comes to hobbies—hands-on, hands-off, or somewhere in between? In our Share Your Sh!t segment, we’re dishing out some no-nonsense advice for UK mums on how to nudge the kids into new interests without losing your sanity.

In this week’s episode of Mamma Social The Podcast, Kayleigh and Lauren recap the results of the ‘Kiss Goodnight’ poll, and the outcome is not what we were expecting...
Peaks of the week include lovely family time, we can’t get enough of it over here… although getting the kids to bed is the pits! As they lament the challenge of bedtime, we all wonder why is it so hard sometimes?
Kayleigh shares a parenting fail of the week, where she lost control, and the gals muse over whether her actions will have long term effects. How do you course correct yourself as a parent when you find yourself stepping into patterns you didn’t mean to?
To lighten things up we also hear about an unfortunate (but funny) boating incident…This week’s topic focuses Autumn resolutions as we get the kids ready to go back to school - anything to work on or improve as the days towards a new season get closer? Both have plans to get the house ready, and make space for seasonal decorations. After all, that long word we all love so much, is just around the corner - hello, inflatable Santa!
Lastly, we hear some thoughts on this week’s viewer / listener question - how to tackle anxiety around GCSE’s.

In this week's episode of Mamma Social The Podcast, Kayleigh and Lauren dive into Breastfeeding Awareness Week (1st to 8th August).
They discuss the challenges of breastfeeding, including knowing when to stop and the difficulties of breastfeeding after having a second child. The ladies touch on the judgement mums often face and emphasise that there’s no one-size-fits-all approach to feeding your baby. The phrase “breast is best” doesn’t reflect everyone’s experience.
They highlight game-changing breastfeeding products like nipple pads and Pretty Mama clothing that make breastfeeding easier. The conversation also covers those awkward moments when others, especially men, seem uncomfortable around you while breastfeeding.
In this week’s Share Your Shit segment, they address the topic of in-laws and unannounced visits, stressing the importance of setting boundaries and effective communication. Plus, Kayleigh’s fact of the week reveals that eating garlic can make your breast milk taste garlicky—and surprisingly, babies tend to prefer it!

In the latest episode of Mamma Social The Podcast, things get a tad chaotic as Kayleigh and Lauren are riding a sugar rush. Lauren kicks things off with a hilarious tale of a camel toe scare in her new jeans and advocates for embracing the camel toe with confidence.
The ladies vent about mams and their knack for unwelcome advice, while pits and peaks include the start of the dreaded summer holidays and Kayleigh's unexpected new hobbies: cricket and MMA fighting—who’d have thought?
They tackle the important question: when do you know you're ready to have kids? Their verdict: it’s all about that gut feeling—or take Lauren’s advice and test your nurturing skills with a dog first.
Gentle versus old-school parenting styles go head-to-head, with a side order of shedding childhood baggage and knowing when to say sorry. Because let's be real, parenting is like trying to fold a fitted sheet—exhausting, confusing, and occasionally involves swearing.

In the latest episode of Mamma Social The Podcast, Kayleigh and Lauren take a trip down memory lane, reminiscing on core childhood memories like cardboard cars and karaoke machines. Peaks and pits of the week include Lauren getting vommed on and Kayleigh’s fantasy of being a mam of four.
The ladies dish on the struggles of free time as a parent and tackle the big topic of maternal mental health, stressing the importance of therapy—because who doesn’t need a little 'human maintenance'?
Parenting pet peeves are on the table this week—feeding and hair-washing are the top offenders. Plus, Kayleigh’s got a wild, slightly concerning story about Freddie choosing mealworms over veggies.
Kayleigh’s fact of the week: why women cry more than men, has them agreeing on the importance of a good old maintenance cry. Plus, things get real with an important health PSA: check your boobs and book your smear tests, ladies!"

In the latest episode of Mamma Social The Podcast, Kayleigh and Lauren are back, positively glowing after a rejuvenating weekend at the spa—definitely their shared peak of the week! Pits of the week include Lauren’s spa break disaster, which can be summed up in two words: Uber and vomit. Kayleigh’s got her own wild story which involves doing the tango with an aggressive man. It's all about the drama this week!
Ever dealt with kids who think flushing the toilet is optional? The ladies dive into that dilemma: should you make your child clean up the bathroom mess they left behind?
This week’s episode features an 'ask us anything' segment where the ladies spill the beans on topics like age gaps, first-time mum regrets and maternity leave woes. Kayleigh hits us with her fact of the week about babies' brains and butterflies, while Lauren shares a hilarious, but completely untrue fact about eyeballs.
