About this episode

Billi and Lyndsey discuss the chaos and emotions surrounding Mother's Day, reflecting on gifts, expectations, and the realities of motherhood.

EP 12 description In this episode, we dive into the chaos, pressure, expectations, and emotions surrounding Mother’s Day. While Billi and Lyndsey hilariously unpack the worst Mother’s Day gifts imaginable from cheap chocolates and tacky beauty sets to husbands forgetting the day entirely the conversation also turns surprisingly emotional as they reflect on motherhood, mental load, appreciation, and the complicated feeling of being both a mother and a daughter at the same time. We talk about what mums ACTUALLY want on Mother’s Day, why thoughtful gifts matter more than expensive ones, the emotional impact of feeling unseen, and the reality that sometimes all a mother wants is to be left alone, fed, and not asked what’s for dinner. The girls also discuss the pressure of sharing Mother’s Day with mothers-in-law, wanting to spend time with their own mums, and the heart breaking reality that one day our mums won’t be here anymore. A funny, brutally honest, and unexpectedly emotional chat about motherhood, appreciation, and what Mother’s Day is really supposed to mean.
