Eat Sleep Repeat

It’s our last episode of the year, and we’re wrapping things up with a bumper recommendations special. From the TV shows that completely took over our lives to the movies, podcasts and books that surprised us (and got us through), this is everything we loved this year. Kelly and Kee share their must-watch, must-listen and must-read picks for the holidays - the comfort watches, the dark dramas, the guilty pleasures and the ones you’ll be thinking about long after the credits roll. Consider this your ultimate summer watchlist. LINKS TO ALL OUR RECOMMENDATIONS...

Why does making friends as an adult (and especially as a parent) feel so darn hard? Between juggling kids, work, a busy netty schedule (too niche?) and general exhaustion, it can feel impossible to connect beyond small talk at daycare drop-off. In this episode, we dive into how to make friends as a parent, why it feels awkward, and how to build real, meaningful friendships in the chaos of raising kids. From playground politics to mum-group awkwardness, we’re getting real about what it’s like trying to find your people in parenthood.   HOSTS & PRODUCERSKelly McCarren ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@kelly_mccarren⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Kee Reece Searles @keereece AUDIO PRODUCTIONMadeline Joannou - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Mylk Media⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Kee is back in the studio and the past few months have been… busy to say the least! Think moving house with two kids, a dog, and a mental load that did not take a holiday. In today’s episode, she and Kelly chat about how a change of space can shift how you feel, new realisations that come with a new baby, and what it took for Kee to pull herself out of survival mode.

Ever worry about letting your kids stay over at someone else's house? You might trust your friends or family, but what about everyone else who might be there? In this episode, we dive into the mixed feelings parents have about sleepovers. Because while sleepovers can be magical for kids, they’re a total stress-fest for parents. In this episode, we talk about how to decide whether your child is ready for a sleepover, safety tips, and some real safety concerns. Join us for a candid conversation as we weigh the pros and cons and help you decide what's best for your family.   HOSTS & PRODUCERSKelly McCarren ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@kelly_mccarren⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Kee Reece Searles @keereece AUDIO PRODUCTIONMadeline Joannou - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Mylk Media⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Kee is BACK in the studio, sliding straight back into her natural role…overthinking your Christmas list so you don’t have to. Christmas used to be a vibe. Now it’s a spreadsheet - four school Kris Kringles, seventeen nieces and nephews, and a partner who swears “I don’t need anything” (but absolutely does). In this episode of Eat Sleep Repeat, Kee and Kelly serve up their 2025 Gift Guide - real-life ideas for real-life families that don’t involve panic-buying a sad scented candle at 4:45pm on Christmas Eve.
