About this episode

Louise and Ryan discuss the need for a maternity commissioner in the UK, share personal stories, and explore parenting dynamics.

Louise and Ryan head to UK Parliament to back the call for a maternity commissioner, with Louise sharing why this fight is so deeply personal. She opens up about her own experience of giving birth and the stark reality that care for women in the UK is still falling short, and why change shouldn’t have to come at the cost of tragedy. Then it pivots. A weekend away sparks a story no one saw coming, with unexpected glimpse into Ryan’s past as butler in the buff 👀. There’s also a chat about The Fury’s and how their approach to parenting might hold up if Leo married young, or started to swear at them.  And finally, a simple question: should you share your location with your partner? Ryan’s a hard no. Louise couldn’t disagree more…. 🗓 New episodes every Wednesday 📩 We’ve got a NEW email! Want to get involved?
