Throwback: Parenting milestones with special guest Anna! Leaving the house for the first time with your baby. Being honest about parenting challenges with babies and toddlers. This is the one where Emma and Elliot, along with the amazing Anna, discuss key parenting moments in the early days of having young children. What moments have been the most meaningful for you as a parent? Leaving the house for the first time. Having a day or night away from your baby for the first time. Returning to work. Successfully parenting by yourself with your children. Realising you're enjoying parenting, not just surviving. Eating with two hands for the first time. And being honest about our experiences on social media.

Plus: chat about the experience with our second child and how it's different.

This is part of our special summer season on the podcast, looking back at some past conversations, re-edited and re-released for 2026. Enjoy these classics if you're not busy over the holidays, and we'll be back with exciting new topics from September!

Unwind on sleepless nights to a wholesome mix of parenting stories, quirky humour, and cosy crafting. We’re not here to provide answers but to share our experiences, explore how parenting has changed, and build an online community of parents for mutual support.

A fun, honest and unscripted conversation between Emma and Elliot on non-judgemental parenting and millennial-based topics, as we relax on an evening attempting an artistic or creative activity. 

We are a project in partnership with The Kairos Movement and supported by The Methodist Church, of which The Kairos Movement is a part
