Mum's The Word! With Georgia Jones & Kelsey Parker

This week on Mum’s The Word, Georgia Jones and Kelsey Parker are back reflecting on the Mother’s Day special… but the conversation quickly turns into something much deeper.

Georgia shares what it was really like having her mum on the podcast, from expecting juicy childhood stories to getting a surprisingly reserved version instead, and why seeing your parents in a new light as an adult can be both funny and emotional.

Meanwhile, Kelsey opens up about the realities of being judged online, after facing backlash for something as simple as getting her dog professionally trained… and why people seem to have an opinion on everything.

The pair dive into the darker side of social media and the press, as Kelsey shares her frustration over misleading headlines that completely twisted her words about grief, and the emotional toll that comes with having your life picked apart publicly.

They also talk honestly about loss, strength, and what it really takes to keep going when life throws the unimaginable at you, as well as why showing the “real life” behind the highlight reel matters more than ever.

Plus, things lighten up with stories of kids’ first crushes, awkward parenting moments, and the unexpected milestones that make you realise just how quickly they’re growing up.

Expect honesty, a few rants, plenty of laughs, and a reminder that no one’s life is as perfect as it looks online.

Grab a cuppa, get comfy, and join Georgia and Kelsey for another episode of Mum’s The Word.

For this special Mother’s Day episode of Mum’s The Word, Georgia Jones is joined by someone very important… her mum, Mumma Jean.

From brutally honest baby stories to embarrassing teenage moments, nothing is off limits as Jean spills the truth about what Georgia was really like growing up, including the time Georgia used to hold her breath until she passed out and the boyfriend disasters Mum never forgot.

They also talk about the realities of motherhood across generations, Jean’s experience of miscarriage before and after having her daughters, and the moment she realised Georgia had found her confidence, pushing her to enter Miss York, which eventually led to Miss England and Miss World.

It’s funny, emotional and full of family stories as they reflect on childhood memories, parenting styles, and what Mother’s Day really means.

Expect laughs, a few embarrassing revelations, and a lot of love.

This week on Mum’s The Word, Georgia Jones and Kelsey Parker are back for a proper catch-up, and it’s safe to say parenting hasn’t exactly gone to plan.

Georgia kicks things off with the chaos of the first week back after half-term when Cooper injures his toe… leaving her questioning every parent’s dilemma: are they actually hurt or just trying to skip school?

Meanwhile Kelsey shares her brutally honest take on “work mum vs home mum mode” and why sometimes you’ve just got to send them in and see what happens.

The pair also dive into the pressure mums feel to do everything: work, parenting, friendships, social media and life. and why it often feels like you’re doing none of it well.

From half-term guilt and screen-time battles to den-building victories and the reality of juggling work with kids at home.

Plus, Kelsey spills on her Jet2 working holiday to Tenerife, the surprisingly brilliant kids’ club that kept everyone happy, and Georgia gives an update on her infamous “40 Before 40” list.

Expect laughs and the comforting reminder that none of us really have it all figured out.

Georgia Jones and Kelsey Parker are back together for an episode that perfectly captures the messy reality of motherhood.

The heavy bits, the joyful bits, and everything in between.

Kelsey opens up about the truth that grief doesn’t stop motherhood and motherhood doesn’t stop purpose.

She reflects on why grieving Phoenix has, in some ways, felt harder than Tom with the children being older, and how even in the depths of grief, life as a mum keeps moving.

The conversation lightens as they move on to Kelsey’s newfound love of home cooking, how it’s become grounding, creative, and unexpectedly comforting during a tough chapter.

Georgia then shares her latest 40 Before 40 list, inspired by listener Kirsty, though she’s very clear there are some things she absolutely will not be attempting.

And of course, We Listen & We Don’t Judge returns, with not understanding maths homework, Googling “is this normal?” at ridiculous hours & letting kids win the odd argument just to keep the peace

This episode of Mum’s The Word is motherhood exactly as it is.

This week on Mum’s The Word, Kelsey Parker is joined by Caitlin Sheil and Leah Sheil for a powerful conversation about modern motherhood.

They open up about their IVF journey, the emotional highs and lows that came with it, and what it’s really like navigating life as a two-mum family in today’s world.

The trio also talk honestly about grief in motherhood, how loss can shape you as parents, and why they’ve made the intentional decision not to show their children’s faces online, protecting privacy in a digital age.

Plus, they share all about their debut children’s book, Wonder Mums, a joyful, action-packed celebration of LGBTQ+ families that’s already capturing hearts.

It's a beautiful reminder that there’s no one way to build a family.
