Summary
This week the girls are back for a proper platter and a natter — the kind of catch-up that goes absolutely everywhere.
Gemma shares pregnancy updates as baby’s arrival gets closer, while Sinead reflects on life with a three-month-old and how the newborn trenches finally start to ease. From sleepless nights and breastfeeding realities to hemorrhoids, hospital bags and postpartum essentials (yes… including the fanny freezer), nothing is off limits.
The girls also dive into their Hot Takes of the Week, including why every friendship group should have a “nesting day” before a baby arrives.
They chat about:
• navigating early motherhood and sleep deprivation
• the importance of community and helping new mums
• friendships, showing up for each other and building your “village”
• the pressure around marriage and babies
• parenting styles and when others step in with your kids
Plus the usual chaos and oversharing.
If you like chaotic honesty, reality, and two friends oversharing then grab a cuppa this one’s for you.
We’ve officially said too much. Again!
New episodes weekly.
