We’re bringing you something very special this Friday - the first half of our Made By Mammas live show, recorded at the HoT Podcast Festival at the Kenton Theatre in Henley.

In front of a room full of amazing listeners, Zoe and Georgia sat down with Hunted star and former detective Georgina Bradley and educator Joy Mbakwe for an honest, emotional and eye-opening conversation about raising children in today’s world.

From smartphones and WhatsApp groups to social media, consent and the pressures facing our kids, this is a conversation every parent needs to hear.

This week we’re joined by the hosts of the Daddies Overnight podcast, Matthew and Ryan, to talk about their journey to becoming dads through adoption.

They share the harsh reality of the adoption process, from assessments and waiting to the moment they were finally matched with their son, and open up about the highs, the challenges and everything in between.

We also chat about life as same-sex parents, the importance of representation, and raising their little boy with love, honesty and pride.

It’s a warm, honest and uplifting conversation about modern families and the many different paths to parenthood.

We all know that it isn't all rainbows and sunshine when it comes to parenting, and today's Friday Q&A is all about parenting hell, and looking at the sharper end of raising children.

Welcome to our first ever "No Filter Friday" episode. Strap in!

This week, the gloves are off and the honesty is turned all the way up. We’re diving into your questions, the ones that you might feel a bit of shame around feeling, let alone talking about in your day-to-day life with other people! But here there is no judgment or sugar-coating.

From admitting that parenting can actually be really boring, to the very real question of quitting breastfeeding because of…Botox. Yep, we go there.

Nothing is off limits, nothing is polished, and nothing is filtered. Just real parents, real confessions, and the kind of conversations you usually only have saved in your drafts after a few glasses!

If you’ve ever thought “Is it just me?”...this episode is for you.

Today's episode is quite possibly our absolute favourite conversation we've ever had!

We are joined by Elliott Rae to talk about something that’s been quietly worrying so many parents: how we’re raising boys in today’s world.

From the lack of positive role models to the pressure on boys to “man up” before they even understand their own feelings, Elliott shares why so many young boys are struggling and what we can actually do differently.

Together, they explore how to raise emotionally healthy boys, how mums and dads can encourage openness and vulnerability, and why changing the way we talk to our sons now can shape the men they become later.

This is an honest, thoughtful and empowering conversation for anyone raising a boy and for anyone who wants the next generation to grow up kinder, more emotionally aware, and truly confident in who they are.

We are joined by Murphy's Sketches' Kerri Cunningham on the show today.

Kerri opens up about life as a mum to her autistic son, Murphy, sharing the realities, the challenges, the joy, and the learning curves that come with it.

With honesty and warmth, she talks about advocating for her child, trusting her instincts, and navigating a world that doesn’t always make things easy for neurodivergent families.

Alongside the deeply personal, we also dive into how Kerri turned her creativity into a thriving brand. From sketching as an outlet to growing Murphy’s Sketches into a business with a powerful message, she chats about resilience, community, and building something meaningful while raising a family.
