Ever been on the receiving end of that kind of parenting advice—the kind you didn’t ask for? In this episode, we’re talking all things unsolicited mum advice, from the well-meaning but slightly irritating to the full-blown judge-fest. We’re sharing our own experiences, from social media “experts” sliding into our DMs to those real-life moments when someone just has to comment on your pram blanket choices.
So, how do you set boundaries without causing World War III? And is there ever a right way to give advice (or should we all just keep quiet)? Let’s get into it—because we all know a Janet, don’t we?
Here are the Highlights:
(01:54) Yes! The purple light is in the bin!
(07:54) Are YOU a giver of unsolicited advice?
(13:21) Yeah but did I ASK for your advice?
(19:23) Support over criticism
(27:52) Just.be.nice.

In this week's episode of Mamma Social The Podcast, Lauren and Kayleigh both have swollen eyes, but what’s causing it? Lauren is aiming to get back into fitness, but she needs to figure out what ‘Macros’ are first. The ladies also chat about ovulation rages and tracking your natural cycles. Is it a good idea?
This week's Pits and Peaks bring the usual chaos and triumphs, including wardrobe organisation and the perils of being hit in the face by your own kids.
The hot topic this week is ‘Tweakments and Treatments’. The conversation dives into society's pressure on women and mothers to look a certain way and why the real focus should be on how you feel, not just on how you look. If tweaks and fillers make you happy, then celebrate that! They also uncover some surprising beauty treatments and cover the ethics around treatments such as salmon sperm facials (yep, you read that right!).
Share Your Shits this week features a spray tan fail, a lip filler mishap and a much-needed massage for a mam!

In this episode of Mamma Social The Podcast, Lauren is tired and hasn’t been getting enough sleep, which sparks a bit of a tangent. Do we get enough sleep as mams, why is it so hard to get the kids to nod off? And is there such a thing as too much sleep?
This week's Pits and Peaks include a lovely baby shower, smashing last week's goals and painful periods, but Kayleigh’s brought along some Hot Tea Mama ‘Over the Moon’ tea to help with that - and the ladies love it!
The hot topic this week is all about Dry January. Do you participate? What do we think about the alcohol free stuff? And are less people participating in Dry January this year? Lauren’s done a poll and the results are in…
To wrap up this week's episode, we have two Share Your Shits, including a hilarious yoga fail and a cocktail mishap. Tune in to catch all the goss!

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!

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!

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.

It’s the special Christmas episode of Mamma Social The Podcast and Kayleigh and Lauren are here to chat all things festive whilst rocking their Christmas jumpers!
They chat all about the stress of Christmas - who’s cooking the food? What’s on the table? How many presents is too many? Why is it so bloody stressful and should Yorkshire puddings be allowed on a Christmas dinner? Plus - Lauren opens up about her Christmas dilemma - tackling Christmas Eve solo! How will she manage that?
They dive deeper into the joys of Christmas as they share their favourite ‘non-traditions’, fave festive outfits and classic Christmas games (who doesn’t love Trivial Pursuit?) Plus, they discuss ‘Elf on The Shelf’ - is it worth it or is it just a pain in the bum?
In this week's Share Your Sh!t, an honest mamma opens up about a very relatable ‘horny dilemma’, which triggers Kayleigh and Lauren to play a fun guessing game of ‘Where hasn’t Kayleigh done it?’

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.

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!

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.

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.

Kayleigh and Lauren celebrate a successful Halloween, swapping funny trick-or-treat stories, with Kayleigh sharing another of Freddie’s hilarious ‘Robin Hood’ moments. Lauren’s on cloud nine after Alan Shearer liked her Instagram reel, though Glen’s less thrilled about it...
In Pits and Peaks, the pair chat about sore shoulders, much-needed date nights, and some overdue ‘undercarriage’ maintenance (we know you get it, mams!). Kayleigh’s even taken up a brand new hobby – can you guess what it might be this time?
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.

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.
