What Happened To Privacy?
Would you let your partner track your every move? Some call it love. Others call it a walking red flag. And when it comes to kids? That’s where things get really complicated. This week on Eat Sleep Repeat, we’re unpacking the modern minefield of location sharing - and asking, is it safety, control, or just another thing tech has made way too hard?

The Secret To Kelly’s Weight Loss
What’s the secret to Kelly’s weight loss? Spoiler: it’s not what you think. In this episode, Kelly finally addresses the curiosity around her smaller frame - from cutting back on booze to navigating stress, grief and the messy realities of life - and why we all need to think twice before commenting on someone’s body. If you want to skip the body chat and jump straight to our recommendations, you’ll find them at 36:19.

The Baby Names We Didn’t Use
Ever had a sticker book with your dream baby name on the cover… just in case? In this week’s juicy Q&A ep, we’re answering your brilliant questions - from how Kee ended up with her beloved dog Al, to the baby names Kelly secretly planned (yes, complete with pre-bought outfits and a monogrammed book). We’re talking sundowners, quitting jobs, friendship boundaries, and how to support someone deep in the postpartum trenches - even from 90 minutes away. It’s personal, it’s funny, and at times, it’s properly emotional. Just how we like it.

One & Done: Meet Grace
What does life actually look like six weeks into new motherhood? Grace Rouvray - actor, producer, celebrant, and now first-time mum - joins Kee and Kelly from the thick of the newborn trenches to share her raw and honest experience. From months of relentless nausea to a birth that went nothing like the plan, Grace opens up about the physical toll, the identity shift, the joy, and the grief that all come bundled with a baby. She talks openly about bleeding nipples, formula top-ups, the reality of baby blues, and why she’s calling it: one and done.
