'I Just Wanted Someone To Put Their Arm Around Me' | Jack Taylor & Matt Whitehouse from the Lily Mae Foundation on Baby Loss, Grief & the Dads Left to Carry It
This week Kelsey Parker sits down with two remarkable dads, Jack Taylor and Matt Whitehouse from the Lily Mae Foundation, for an honest, tender conversation about losing a baby and the life and grief that follows.Jack takes us back to Oscar: two miscarriages before him, an enlarged bladder spotted at 20 weeks, and the Trisomy 13 diagnosis that meant he wasn't compatible with life. Jack and Ellen made the hardest decision any parent could face, to protect their son from more suffering, and Oscar was born sleeping. Ten years on this December, Jack speaks about how time both stands still and races away.Then Matt shares Callie's story: a textbook pregnancy right up to 38 weeks, a daughter kicking away at 8am, and by 9.29 she was gone. Matt talks about the 27 minutes they had with her, the false hope, and the moment a doctor walked in with the news no parent should hear, why he says the mind simply can't compute the speed of baby loss.Together they open up about the grief dads are so often expected to carry in silence, the space to talk about their babies, and how the Lily Mae Foundation helped them find their way through. Plus the "unhinged" challenges that keep them going, from seven marathons in seven days and 110 miles in 24 hours for Oscar's 10th birthday, to Matt running 10k every single day of 2026 (karaoke and all).Grab a cuppa and get comfy.A Create Podcast Hosted on Acast.

'Is That Your Work, Scrolling Instagram?' | Georgia Jones is joined by her son Cooper
This week Georgia Jones hands the co-host chair to a very special guest: her one and only, Cooper, for his first ever appearance on the podcast.Cooper gets into the big stuff: why he's going to be a professional golfer like Rory McIlroy, beating grown men three times his age off the tee, and the "so mathematical" reason he loves the game.Then it's back to real life: starting Year 4, keeping his two best mates in class, the great mufti-day-versus-non-uniform-day debate, and the after-school pull of the PS5.Plus the lighter stuff: the great orange chocolate scandal, why he only "shuts his eyes" for 50 minutes in the car (definitely not sleeping), Daddy's ill-fated mission to rescue a sunbed a mile out to sea, and Cooper's honest ranking of the most annoying things adults do.And of course, his one rule every grown-up should follow: put the phone down and play.Grab a cuppa and get comfy.A Create Podcast Hosted on Acast.

'We're WORSE Than America' | Rhiannon Lambert on the crisis Poisoning Our Kids & Why Eating Healthy Costs DOUBLE
This week Kelsey Parker sits down with Nutritionist Rhiannon Lambert, founder of Rhitrition, for the conversation every parent needs to hear, and one that'll probably start a few arguments.Rhiannon doesn't hold back: why the UK now feeds kids more ultra-processed food than anywhere on earth (yes, above America), the childhood obesity stat that just jumped from 1 in 4 to 1 in 3, and why for the first time in history we're not outliving our grandparents.Then the stuff you're not supposed to say out loud: the real truth about weight-loss jabs, why "diet" and "zero sugar" might be worse than the full-sugar version, why less than 2% of nutrition advice on TikTok is actually true, and the study proving a home-cooked meal beats the identical ready meal, calorie for calorie.Plus the bits that'll actually make your life easier: why two eggs and a red pepper are doing more than you think, the genius "sometimes food" trick for ice cream vans and party bags, raising boys who can actually cook, and why even a nutritionist has UPFs in her cupboard.She is also releasing her fist kid's book Ready Set Cook (https://geni.us/ready-set-cook) in the new year, to get your children having fun in the kitchen.If you've ever felt like you can't do anything right, this one's for you.Grab a cuppa and get comfy.A Create Podcast Hosted on Acast.
