Cup of Cozy is your judgement-free mum's WhatsApp chat in podcast form where nothing’s off limits. Two UK mums in the thick of motherhood swap real stories about labour (yes, the “ring of fire”), C-sections and recovery, epidurals vs “going natural,” nursery guilt, school drop-offs, toddler tantrums, identity after baby, relationships, fashion, work, and everything in between.
Lolo Stubbs Was Given An 8% Chance… She Had Four - Ep 26
Lolo Stubbs says two hospitals told her that if she did not end the pregnancy, she and her baby would both die. At three in the morning she decided she was not having the surgery and asked for another opinion. Jess and Emma sit down with the BROOD magazine founder and mum of four for a conversation about motherhood, business and being told none of it would happen.
She talks about the 8% chance she was given of ever having children, the five years of trying and the IVF waiting list she had been forgotten on. She talks about why she started BROOD, and about the 5am club that had her failing before the day had begun. The hard parts are here as she tells them: the neonatal unit, the knitted square she kept in her bra so her son would know her scent, and the school place her youngest still does not have.
Hot Topics:
📰 Why BROOD exists: the parenting magazines and the business ones both left her out
😔 Mum guilt, both ways: guilty with the kids, guilty at work, all day long
🎤 “Beautiful chaos”: four children, an empty social battery and a print deadline
💛 An 8% chance: five years of trying, a forgotten IVF list, then two babies eight months apart
🏥 The neonatal unit: 24 hours before she could hold him, and a knitted square for her scent
🧩 Autism and an EHCP: six children of different ages taught in a converted cloak room
📖 The book she never meant anyone to read, and where it took her

Natasha Hamilton: Back On Stage 6 Weeks After Birth - Ep 25
Natasha Hamilton was back on stage six weeks after a C-section, in heels, in three pairs of Spanx, and nobody thought to ask how she was doing. Jess and Emma sit down with the Atomic Kitten singer and mum of five for a conversation about what it really cost her to keep going.She was 16 when she joined the band and 20 when she fell pregnant, right as Atomic Kitten went number one around the world. She talks about hearing the new single back in the car and realising her vocal had been taken off it, the night she rang home to be told her baby had been rushed to hospital and was not allowed to go to him, and the two weeks off she was given after being told she needed twelve months. Then the rest of it: leaving in 2004, a New Year’s Eve C-section, parenting three on her own, being told she would not have more children and then having two more, and the “zen” mum she says she has become by baby number five.Hot Topics:🎤 Six weeks and back on tour: recovery when nobody was allowed to slow down🎧 Erased from a number one: the single that came back without her voice🏥 The call she could not answer: her baby in hospital and a show she could not leave🤍 A ruptured cyst and a white feather: told no more children, and then Ella👨👩👧👦 Five kids, no halves: how Charlie came into a house of teenagers🌱 Regimented to zen: the parent she was at 20 and the parent she is nowGuest:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/natashahamilton/🎧 PREFER TO LISTEN?Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/7Du1TkVHCFhihVvj5jmkV4Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/cup-of-cozy/id1892346654✨ Got something to say?

Real Housewives’ Paige Chohan on Baby Number Two - Ep 24
Paige Chohan gave birth on Real Housewives of Cheshire. This time there are no cameras, and she says she is thankful for it. Jess and Emma sit down with Paige, mum to two year old Nora and 23 weeks pregnant with her second, for an honest chat about a pregnancy that has looked nothing like the first.She talks about the eight months of trying that she did not see coming, and about going for advice and tests with the show still filming around her. There is the appointment that left her confused about what she had actually been told, the baby moon that had to be cancelled, and the toddler who has decided that only mummy will do. And there is the bit every mum will recognise: prep machines, bacteria arguments, and Facebook groups full of people ready to tell you that you are doing it wrong.Hot Topics:🤰 A harder second pregnancy: months in bed, and a toddler who does not care📺 Filmed while trying: clinic visits and consultations with the crew still there🏠 Stress and a renovation: what she looks back on now and wonders about🤫 No cameras this time: keeping the scan result, and some of her life, private👶 Only mummy will do: chickenpox, separation anxiety and a secret ego boost🍼 The prep machine backlash: bacteria arguments and everyone with an opinion🛒 Baby kit worth the money: the changing table on wheels she swears byGuest:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/paigechohan_/🎧 PREFER TO LISTEN?Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/cup-of-cozy/id1892346654✨ Got something to say?
