Eat Sleep Repeat

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 workout.

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 often just big feelings + zero skills… and how boundaries can be the thing that makes everyone feel safer.

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 like it’s going to personally fix her nervous system.

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 without sounding ungrateful.

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.
