Mamma Social - The Podcast

New Year, New Me?

In this episode of Mamma Social The Podcast, it’s the New Year and Kayleigh and Lauren are feeling old! The pair swap their 2025 goals, including prioritising self care, being a bit more organised, kicking the procrastination habits and saying goodbye to booze. But will they be sticking to the mantra of ‘New Year, New Me’ this year? 
 
This week's Pits and Peaks are all about Christmas, with Lauren relishing in her INCREDIBLE Christmas Dinner, as well as reliving her turkey fiasco, and Kayleigh complaining about a very sore wrist, which Lauren thinks is from how many wine glasses she’s been lifting this festive season!
 
Mammas have been sending in their Share Your Shits, and we’re spoiling you with three this week, including a hilarious gym fiasco, a parenting win and a meal prep fail. Ahhh, it’s good to be back!

Goodbye 2024, Hello 2025: Vision boards, Reflections and Goals for the New Year

Happy New Year from Mamma Social The Podcast! Kayleigh and Lauren are kicking off 2025 by looking back at the pits and peaks of 2024. From life with a newborn to setting (and sometimes missing) goals, they reflect on whether resolutions are worth it or just too much pressure.
Kayleigh shares her 2024 vision board, reflecting on what worked, what didn’t, and whether aiming for big goals—like getting the pod to number one—is realistic or just stressful. The girls discuss unrealistic expectations, counting numbers, and how they’re planning to set more achievable goals for 2025.
In this week’s Share Your Sh!t, listeners open up about the chaos of shopping with kids—because what’s a trip to the shops without a tantrum? Plus, they have a New Years resolution just for you: like, share and leave a review for the pod!

Sickness Bugs, The Polar Express and Double Standards

This week on Mamma Social The Podcast, Kayleigh is down with norovirus and recording from home, feeling like death warmed up, while Lauren shares her much more glamorous weekend of spa days and taking the kids on the Polar Express.
They chat about the chaos of messy houses, festive highs and lows, and wonder why some men refuse to join in with matching Christmas pyjamas. They also bond over their mutual love of scrolling Rightmove for fun—because who doesn’t love imagining life in a dream house?
This week is a Share Your Sh!t special, with Kayleigh and Lauren sharing their thoughts on relatable stories about parenting double standards, why we shouldn’t call childcare ‘babysitting’, the oddly satisfying joy of cleaning your ears, and the madness of traveling with kids over Christmas.

The December Mental Load and Managing Expectations at Christmas

In this episode of Mamma Social The Podcast, Lauren and Kayleigh are diving deep into the chaos that December brings, and the mental load that parents bear during the lead up to Christmas. Everyone has been poorly (it’s that time of year) and the ladies chat all about winter wellness and calpol (why is it so nice?!)
 
Diving deeper into the chaos of December, they debate Christmas presents - why does it always fall on the mams to do all the shopping? Also discussed is taking the kids to see Santa. How many times is too many and is it overdone? Plus - they chat all about keeping up with festive lies and why all parents should probably stick to the same storylines. 
 
Finally, they have an honest and open discussion about December expectations, handling expensive gift requests and whether sharing pictures of presents online is a festive no-no.

Family at Christmas, Consent & a Wicked Weekend

In this episode of Mamma Social The Podcast, Kayleigh and Lauren are defying gravity with recapping Kayleigh’s Wicked-filled weekend, no spoilers here! Lauren talks about her birthday which is today (show Lauren some love in the comments) and how she started Elf on the Shelf with her boys. Will she keep it going or will the magic fizzle out in the first week?
Kayleigh tells a story of Eva at a playplace getting into a scuffle with another kid while Lauren shares how she’s considering taking her little one’s bed for herself to get a good night’s rest. 
The main topic this week is consent when it comes to your kids - do you let them set their own boundaries when it comes to family asking for cuddles and kisses? What is the difference between consent and manners? Why is Lauren on the fence about sharing pictures of your kids on social media?
In Share Your Sh!t,  Lauren reads one of the best Share Your Sh*ts we’ve ever had on the podcast so far -  a mam who taught her daughter how to respond with a pushy auntie. It’s sure to put a smile on your face today!

Tinsel, Tantrums and Talking about Grief

In this episode of Mamma Social The Podcast, Kayleigh and Lauren dive into the festive season—but not everyone’s feeling the Christmas spirit. The Christmas trees are up, snow has fallen, and Kayleigh’s on a mission to deck the halls, but why don’t kids care about decorating anymore? And why do men treat basic instructions like a personal insult?
Kayleigh’s been busy creating another masterpiece (yes, another Kayleigh Lavvo original) as a gift for Lauren, but is she a fan? 
The main topic this week is grief and loss at Christmas. Kayleigh and Lauren open up about how Christmas feels different after losing someone. Why does Christmas make us miss those we’ve lost more? 
In Share Your Shit, a courageous mum shares her story of baby loss. Kayleigh and Lauren offer heartfelt advice on protecting your peace and remind us all that everyone’s grief journey is different.

Raising Sons Right, Managing Mam Rage, and Men’s Mental Health

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.
