In this special travel episode, we take you along for the ride (literally) as we unpack our unforgettable family trip to Disneyland Paris – the highs, the hiccups, and everything in between.

From spinning tea cups to toddler tantrums, we’re talking about:

• Our top tips for tackling the parks with kids (including must-ride attractions and where to eat without losing your mind)
• Why the parades are worth the hype (and how to grab the best spot)
• The magical perks of staying at the Disneyland Hotel (yes, those extra park hours are everything)
• Real talk: meltdowns, strollers, and surviving long queues with snacks and a sense of humour
• Our honest take on what worked, what didn’t, and what we’d do differently next time

Whether you're planning your own Disney getaway or just want to live vicariously through the magic (and mayhem), this episode is full of laughs, practical tips, and behind-the-scenes memories.

Today we are talking all things c-section with Kate Negus who had an emergency c-section (like so many of us do!) after a very long labour. What followed was months of insecurity, anxiety and fear when she fell pregnant with her second child. This lead to her new business, C-Section Correction which is now helping many mothers recover both mentally and physically post c-section. In this episode, we discuss everything relating to c-sections and how you can recover in the best possible way.

TIP: Reconnect with your scar ASAP
PRODUCTS: Coconut oil, silicone strips, recovery suit, vitamin C
