Welcome to the Right on Time podcast, where we chat all things pre-term labour, NICU journey (the highs, the lows and everything in between) and navigating this beautiful yet challenging life as first time mums. We wanted to start this podcast because when we were in the trenches of NICU life, we searched for something similar but were faced with clinical, factual and ultimately heavy stories. When all wished for was hope and to know we weren’t alone. So we’ve decided to create a safe space to laugh, cry, rant and ultimately generate some hope for anyone going through a similar journey to us.
S2 Finale: "Why is everything such a battle right now?....I'm on edge all day every day and its testing my resilience"
We’ve made it to the end of Season 2, and in this episode we’re reflecting on some of the realities of life with toddlers and motherhood behind the scenes.
First up, we’re talking about that in-between stage — the 18 months to terrible twos era. The big feelings, the independence, the chaos… and how this phase can feel like a whole new level of parenting.
We also chat about how our relationships with our husbands have evolved since having the boys. From the early days of parenthood to where we are now, we reflect on how things have shifted, what’s changed, and how becoming parents has reshaped our partnerships.
And finally, Meghan opens up about a particularly challenging few weeks, as Blake’s health condition has taken a step change, making it one of the most difficult periods she’s experienced so far as a mum.
As always, it’s an open and honest conversation about the highs, the hard moments, and everything in between.
Thank you for being part of Season 2 of Right on Time Podcast — we’re so grateful you’re here.

S2 Ep.7: 'How do you eat your creme egg?'
This week we’re firmly in our real life mum era — and covering everything from nursery germs to nostalgic TV binges (with a very serious chocolate debate thrown in).
We kick off with the inevitable nursery bugs doing the rounds and the survival mode that comes with them — because why do they always hit the parents harder? Then we move into a more reflective chat about Gisèle Pelicot and the wider conversations her story has sparked around justice, strength and the power of women being believed and supported.
On a lighter (but still exciting) note, we celebrate Sara officially launching her start-up — the nerves, the buzz, and what it really looks like to build something from the ground up while navigating motherhood.
We also tackle the hotly debatable topic no one asked for but everyone has an opinion on: Mini Eggs vs Creme Eggs. Where do you stand? And more importantly… how do you eat your Creme Egg — bite straight in, split it in half, or eat the fondant first? This may divide the listeners.
Finally, we round things off with our current mum TV guilty pleasures: rewatching America’s Next Top Model on Netflix, getting fully pulled into Tell Me Lies, and the shows we’re leaning on when we just need to switch our brains off at the end of the day.
A mix of heavy, hopeful, nostalgic and hilariously relatable — just like mum life.
