This week on Mum's The Word, Georgia Jones and Kelsey Parker are back in the studio for a chaotic, hilarious and surprisingly deep catch-up.

Georgia finally tells all about her half-marathon: from the safety-pin disaster at the start line, to the intimidating girls in the toilet queue who nearly knocked her confidence, to the emotional moment she ran the entire race alongside strangers raising money for a brain tumour charity.

Kelsey then shares the details of this year's Tom Parker Foundation football match, back at Bromley FC on the 17th of May with an incredible celebrity line-up. She also opens up about expanding her charity work this year to support the Lily Mae Foundation and individual families in need.

The conversation turns to fear, comparison culture and why social media is making us more fearful than ever, before taking a properly spiritual turn when Kelsey reveals she believes children choose their parents and that some kids are old souls. Georgia is… not entirely convinced.

Plus, the Mum's The Word Top Five returns with the things that trigger us as mums, and the pair get real about iPads at restaurants, going back to basics, and why family dinners around the table matter more than ever. Grab a cuppa, get comfy, and join Georgia and Kelsey for another episode of Mum's The Word.

This week on Mum's The Word, Georgia Jones is joined by singer and new mum Talia Mar, and she's refreshingly honest about the parts of motherhood no one warns you about.

Talia opens up about why pregnancy was far from the glowing, magical experience she expected, how her autism diagnosis changed the way she understands herself, and the moment having a daughter made her see the world completely differently.

From battling hyperemesis gravidarum to navigating the overstimulation of new motherhood as a neurodivergent woman, Talia shares the coping strategies, the hard moments, and the humour that's got her through it all.

The pair get into the real conversations every mum is having right now:

• Pregnancy nobody prepares you for — from HG to lightning crotch (yes, really)
• Being a neurodivergent mum — managing overstimulation, masking & finding your rhythm
• Raising a daughter in today's world — and why it sparked Talia's powerful new single Lady
• The female experience — from street harassment to the double standards we've all just… accepted
• Screen time & gaming — why Talia thinks games get a bad rap (and what Georgia learns about Minecraft)
• Getting an autism diagnosis as an adult woman — and why it was a relief, not a label

There are laughs, lightbulb moments, and plenty of "why did no one tell us this?" honesty.

If you've ever felt like motherhood is overwhelming, messy, and nothing like the Instagram version… this episode is for you.

This week on Mum’s The Word, Georgia Jones and Kelsey Parker are back for a brutally honest catch-up… and nothing is off-limits.

From chaotic school runs and very territorial parking drama to the awkward realities of parents’ evening, the episode kicks off with the kind of everyday mum moments we’ve all lived through.

Georgia shares the pressure of hearing feedback about Cooper at school (and questioning her own homework skills), while Kelsey opens up about why she’s taken a step back from social media, and the emotional toll of feeling like everything you say is under a microscope.

The conversation then turns deeper, as the pair get candid about the highs and lows of parenting: including the guilt, the overwhelm, and the truth that loving your kids doesn’t always mean loving every moment of being a mum.

They also dive into social media pressures, fake perfection online, and what a more honest version of Instagram for mums would actually look like.

Plus, there’s plenty of lighter moments too: from top five kids’ snacks (processed vs homemade sparks debate), to takeaway guilt, parenting “threats” we never follow through on, and the daily juggle of getting out the door on time.

It’s the kind of episode that reminds you you’re definitely not the only one winging it.

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