Welcome back to Mum Club 101, your virtual mum club where you come for parenting truths but stay for the giggles! 🎙️

In this week’s episode:

Catch-Up: Katy shares a parenting win—resisting the urge to helicopter-parent while Izzy was under the weather, letting dad take charge instead. We also dive into the ever-present pressure to look younger, debating the pros and cons of retinol vs. Botox.

Critique of the Week: Milestone tracking—does it guide parents or just pile on guilt? We talk about the pressure parents feel when their child doesn’t hit a milestone "on time," fuelled by health checkups, social media comparisons, and well-meaning comments from family. Instead of spiralling, we’re reframing milestones as flexible markers, sharing expert insights and practical tips to help parents trust their instincts and celebrate their child’s unique journey.

Nonsense Time: We share the funniest reasons people have been fired, including a hilarious story from Katy’s past.

Why You Should Listen - Relatable parenting moments and learning to let go - The truth about anti-aging trends—what’s worth the hype? - A balanced take on baby milestone tracking—helpful or harmful? - Laugh-out-loud workplace mishaps - A binge-worthy TV recommendation for your next obsession
