Mamma Social - The Podcast

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.   Links mentioned in this episode:  Use Code: MAMMA20 for 20% off your PoundFun shop - https://tidd.ly/3T3JMGJ  Use Code: MAMMA15 for 15% off site wide at https://prettymama.co.uk   Get Involved: Share Your Sh!t with us!

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!  Links mentioned in this episode:  Use Code: MAMMA20 for 20% off your PoundFun shop - https://tidd.ly/3T3JMGJ  Use Code: MAMMA15 for 15% off site wide at https://prettymama.co.uk   Get Involved: Share Your Sh!t with us!

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.   Links mentioned in this episode:  Use Code: MAMMA20 for 20% off your PoundFun shop - https://tidd.ly/3T3JMGJ  Use Code: MAMMA15 for 15% off site wide at https://prettymama.co.uk     Get Involved: Share Your Shit with us!

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!
