Episodes

I Don’t Know How To Dress For My Body Anymore 31.03.2026

Postpartum can change a lot, including the way you feel in your clothes. When nothing fits quite right and your style feels off, getting dressed can feel harder than it should. In this episode, stylist Nat shares her take on the postpartum wardrobe crisis, what to buy, what to skip, and how to find your way back to feeling good in what you wear.   LINKS I Hate My Postpartum Body Oversized Tee...

Why You Need Something To Look Forward To 26.03.2026

It’s Peak & Pit, and this week Kelly and Kee are all about the little things keeping them sane. A long-delayed change is finally paying off, and there’s also a strong case being made for dinner plans, netball, weekend treats and literally anything that breaks up the family-life rinse and repeat. If you want to play along each week (and read other parents’ peaks/pits), come jo...

What If Breast Isn’t Best For You? 24.03.2026

Breastfeeding is still treated like the gold standard, which means when it doesn’t work - or you don’t want it to - the guilt can be enormous. In this episode, Kelly and Kee unpack the shame around formula, the pressure to push through, and why what’s best for the baby has to include mum too.   LINKS My Decision Not To Breastfeed - ELLE USA HOSTS & PRODUCERS Kelly McCarr...

No One Invited Aunt Flo Back, But Here She Is 19.03.2026

There’s nothing quite like the whiplash of going from holiday mode back to normal life. This week, Kelly unpacks the highs of Fiji, the grimness of re-entry, and why being back among the general public can undo a person very quickly.  Plus: date night, small wins, and a deeper conversation about the online world boys are growing up in. If you want to play along each week (and read other...

Can You Parent Other People's Kids? 17.03.2026

It starts with one kid pushing boundaries… and suddenly you’re in a full internal spiral: do I say something, stay quiet, or hope their parent steps in? This week, Kelly and Kee get into the very messy etiquette of parenting other people’s children - and why it can turn awkward fast. Because everyone loves the idea of a village… until it’s time to correct someone el...

The One Where My Period Is Late 12.03.2026

It’s Peak & Pit and Kel’s week starts with a sentence no one enjoys saying out loud - “my period was six days late.” Cue the pregnancy-test spiral, the mood swings, and that specific kind of rage where you remember men simply… do not have to think about any of this. Meanwhile, Kee’s trying to do the whole “not drinking this year” thing but learn...

Why Am I ALWAYS So Tired!? 10.03.2026

You know that special kind of tired where you technically slept… but you still feel like a haunted Victorian child? Same. This week, Kee and Kelly get obsessed with the question every parent is silently screaming: why am I always so damn tired? (Even when the sleep tracker says you’re “fine”.)  They bring in sleep specialist Nikki, to break down what’s actually...

The Most Expensive Pit Of My Life 05.03.2026

Kee’s pit this week is a classic plans fail - a babysitter stuff-up that turns into instant FOMO. Kel’s pit is the kind of body situation you never expect to be dealing with, until suddenly you’re googling, doing the mental maths, and realising this is going to be a whole thing . And somehow, in between all of that, there are a couple of proper heart-squeeze wins. If you want to...

Let Them Learn the Hard Way? 03.03.2026

FAFO parenting is everywhere - and this episode is for anyone who’s ever thought “cool, go on then” and immediately questioned their entire parenting philosophy. FAFO stands for “fuck around and find out” - aka letting natural consequences do the talking. Is it boundaries? Is it petty? Is it survival? Let’s unpack the internet’s favourite new parenting vib...

The Mental Load of Birthday Parties 26.02.2026

It’s Peak & Pit time, and this week we’re talking about the mental load of kids’ birthday parties - aka the part where you’re meant to be “making memories” while quietly spiralling over helium, food orders, decorations, and why you’re somehow the CEO of the entire event.   Meanwhile, Kel has a medical admin moment that turns into a full-body...

Gen Muir Makes Us Feel Like Much Better Parents 24.02.2026

Four-year-olds: old enough to sound wildly reasonable… until they’re absolutely not. This week, Kee and Kelly are officially in the “fkd up fours” era, so they call in the big guns: Gen Muir from Connected Parenting.  Gen breaks down what’s actually happening in the four-year-old brain (and why it can feel worse than two), why “bad behaviour” is ofte...

We’re Not Coping With Change 19.02.2026

It’s Peak & Pit and we’ve got big feelings over small things. Kee’s riding the high of a genuinely sweet family moment - then free-falls into a pit sparked by something so small it shouldn’t have the power to ruin a morning… and yet. Kel, meanwhile, is navigating a routine shake-up that’s hit her right in the feelings, plus she’s in her Oura ring era...

I Hate My Postpartum Body 17.02.2026

Kee’s officially hit the postpartum wall - the one where you’re meant to be “grateful” and “bouncing back”… but instead you’re staring at your body like it belongs to someone else. This episode is about the sneaky ways body hate shows up after kids: the clothes that don’t fit, the photos you dread and why it can feel impossible to talk about w...

When The Universe Delivers… At The Worst Time 12.02.2026

It’s Peak & Pit and the emotional range this week is wide . Kee hits a massive parenting milestone that should feel like a win - except she’s the one crying. Suki? Fine. Happy. Already moving on. Meanwhile, Kel basically manifests Paris. Casual. It’s chaos. It’s growth. It’s Friday. If you want to play along each week (and read other parents’ peaks/pits), co...

When You’re The Only Parent 10.02.2026

Kelly and Kee are eating humble pie. Because a single mum slid into their DMs and (very politely) pointed out what happens when you say “just keep your sick kid home”… but you don’t have a partner, family nearby, or anyone to tag in. So we brought her on. Meet Alice: solo mum to an 8-year-old, running a one-woman household with zero backup. We talk the relentless mental lo...

New Daycare Room, New Existential Crisis 05.02.2026

It’s Peak & Pit time - and this week delivers a full-body birthday spiral, a daycare room glow-up that somehow feels heartbreaking, and the kind of night-weaning chaos that makes you want to file a formal complaint against your own nipples. Kel relives Lenny’s actual birthday: the cursed Women’s Weekly-style cake mission, the absolute audacity of a partner doing the wrong job...

When Should I Send My Kid To School? 03.02.2026

It starts as an innocent mum-chat and ends in a full-blown research spiral: when are you meant to send your kid to school… and why does it feel like everyone’s suddenly delaying? This week, Kee takes the reins on the school start age debate - from cut-off dates and state-by-state chaos, to the real reasons parents are choosing “later”, and why “the studies say&hellip...

January Can Get In The Bin 29.01.2026

It’s Friday - so we’re doing our weekly peaks and pits: a proper catch-up between friends, equal parts vent and tiny victory lap.  This week we’re coming to you from that end-of-January zone where everyone’s out of routine, the kids are a lot, and you’re trying to hold it together on vibes alone… but there are a couple of moments that save it.  If you...

Toxic Mum Friends & How To Spot Them 27.01.2026

Ever walked away from a catch-up feeling worse than when you arrived? This episode is for anyone who’s been burned by mum-friend dynamics - the subtle exclusion, the “nice but not really” energy, the unspoken rules - and wondered if it’s just you… or if the vibe is actually toxic.  Kee and Kelly unpack how these dynamics play out in mother’s group friendsh...

When Your New Year Starts In The Gutter (Literally) 20.01.2026

We’re weeks late to the holiday recap… because we’re parents and time isn’t real in January. The road trip was a win. Christmas was good - with feelings attached. New Year’s, however, was rogue - one cancelled, one derailed on the way home. That’s all we’ll say.   LINKS TO EVERYTHING MENTIONED Overcompensating - Prime Video Weapons - Prime Video &nbs...

Sh*t We’re Getting Done In 2026 13.01.2026

Hello hello, and welcome back to Eat Sleep Repeat in 2026! We’re easing into the year the only way we know how - with big intentions, low expectations, and a very honest look at all the goals we absolutely did not achieve last year. Kee and Kelly take a hilarious trip down memory lane to revisit their 2025 goals that never stood a chance… with a few wins in there too. Now it’s o...

The 2025 Recos Episode 16.12.2025

It’s our last episode of the year, and we’re wrapping things up with a bumper recommendations special. From the TV shows that completely took over our lives to the movies, podcasts and books that surprised us (and got us through), this is everything we loved this year. Kelly and Kee share their must-watch, must-listen and must-read picks for the holidays - the comfort watches, the dark...

Do You Wanna Be My Friend? (Asking For An Adult) 12.12.2025

Why does making friends as an adult (and especially as a parent) feel so darn hard? Between juggling kids, work, a busy netty schedule (too niche?) and general exhaustion, it can feel impossible to connect beyond small talk at daycare drop-off. In this episode, we dive into how to make friends as a parent, why it feels awkward, and how to build real, meaningful friendships in the chaos of raising...

Kee’s Back: A New House, A New Headspace 09.12.2025

Kee is back in the studio and the past few months have been… busy to say the least! Think moving house with two kids, a dog, and a mental load that did not take a holiday. In today’s episode, she and Kelly chat about how a change of space can shift how you feel, new realisations that come with a new baby, and what it took for Kee to pull herself out of survival mode. LINKS TO EVERYTHI...

Should You Let Your Kid Have A Sleepover? 05.12.2025

Ever worry about letting your kids stay over at someone else's house? You might trust your friends or family, but what about everyone else who might be there? In this episode, we dive into the mixed feelings parents have about sleepovers. Because while sleepovers can be magical for kids, they’re a total stress-fest for parents. In this episode, we talk about how to decide whether your child...
