  • Ep 15: Cracking Jokes and Cracking On: Parenting with Catherine
    Jul 30 2025

    This week we’re joined by Catherine, a wonderful lady who brings the laughs, the honesty, and a whole lot of heart. From hospital corridors to TikTok fame, Catherine talks candidly about raising her two boys, navigating medical parenthood, and finding light in the hardest moments.

    We talk about why she loved having a nanny, support, survival, and why sometimes the best thing you can do for a person is to just show up with biscuits.

    The jokes are quick, the laughter is loud, and yes, she did have to dash for the school run (because life doesn’t pause for a podcast)!

  • Ep 13: When They Say ‘Professional,’ Do They Mean Us? Pt. 2
    Jun 25 2025

    Trigger warning: This episode includes discussion of racism, unconscious bias, and discrimination.

    We’re back with Part 2 of When They Say ‘Professional,’ Do They Mean Us? This time, we’re digging deeper into the emotional weight of being Black in a space that often prefers you silent, smiling, and “grateful.”

    We talk boundaries, double standards, and how children notice everything—even the things grown-ups avoid saying. There’s more laughter, more honesty, and more stories that don’t always get told.

    If Part 1 made you pause, this one might make you shift in your seat.
