It starts with one kid pushing boundaries… and suddenly you’re in a full internal spiral: do I say something, stay quiet, or hope their parent steps in? This week, Kelly and Kee get into the very messy etiquette of parenting other people’s children - and why it can turn awkward fast.

Because everyone loves the idea of a village… until it’s time to correct someone else’s kid.

Eat Sleep Repeat

Hosted by new mums and besties, Kelly McCarren and Kee Reece, eat sleep repeat is a virtual weekly mother’s group for your ears. It's a judgement and shame-free zone where Kel and Kee give advice and talk to other everyday mums. But mostly it’s a raw, honest, funny and relatable look at being a first time mum, desperately trying to survive.

It’s time to say goodbye. For now.

In the final episode of Eat Sleep Repeat, Kee and Kel are joined by their editor, Madeline, for a little behind-the-scenes goss, the episode that almost didn’t make it to air, and the tiny habits she’s been editing around for years.

Then Kee and Kel ask each other the big questions - about friendship, motherhood, confidence, growth, and what they want to leave listeners with after four years in your ears.

Thank you for listening, laughing, crying, messaging, and being part of it all.

You’re doing it. You’ve got this!

After four years, hundreds of conversations and more than a few opinions that aged terribly, Kee and Kel are looking back at the episodes, guests and listener messages that changed them the most.

In this second-last episode of Eat Sleep Repeat, they revisit the conversations that stayed with them, the advice they still use, the topics they never expected to hit so hard, and the moments that made the whole wild ride feel worth it.

It’s a love letter to the shitters, the mother’s group so many of us didn’t have, and a reminder that none of us are doing this perfectly - but we’re definitely not doing it alone.

For the final Peak & Pit of the series, Kee and Kel are in a reflective mood - but still very much themselves. There’s a birthday decision that brings up more than expected, a post-holiday realisation that hits later than planned, and one of those rare weeks where life is messy but somehow… fine? Plus, comfort food, a new show, and a Sydney outing worth adding to the list.
