Second-time motherhood: not the sequel you were expecting.

Kee’s got shingles AND mastitis (because the universe is hilarious), Kelly’s cats are misbehaving, and there’s a serious discussion about what happens when you go from one kid to two... hint: it’s “psychotic.”

It’s Peak & Pit, and this week Kelly and Kee are all about the little things keeping them sane. A long-delayed change is finally paying off, and there’s also a strong case being made for dinner plans, netball, weekend treats and literally anything that breaks up the family-life rinse and repeat.

Breastfeeding is still treated like the gold standard, which means when it doesn’t work - or you don’t want it to - the guilt can be enormous. In this episode, Kelly and Kee unpack the shame around formula, the pressure to push through, and why what’s best for the baby has to include mum too.

There’s nothing quite like the whiplash of going from holiday mode back to normal life. This week, Kelly unpacks the highs of Fiji, the grimness of re-entry, and why being back among the general public can undo a person very quickly. 

Plus: date night, small wins, and a deeper conversation about the online world boys are growing up in.
