Heroes of Help UAE - Episode 6

On the Sofa with British Mums Season 2: Episode 6 – Heroes of Hope with the inspirational Hollie Murphy.
In this week’s episode, Emma and Hannah chat to Hollie Murphy, founder of Heroes of Hope and you’re going to want to listen to this mums as it’s overwhelmingly emotional and full of life lessons we can all take away.
Heroes of Hope is a non-profit organisation that offers inclusion for people of determination or those with additional needs to take part in sport, in a safe and professional environment. Hollie has created a platform that reduces isolation and opens up opportunities for those who have previously not had the chance to compete in a sporting environment, to perform and shine.
Hollie also chats about her Junior Coaches Programme where Year 8+ students can volunteer their time to get involved in the programme, leaning essential life skills like compassion, empathy and motivation, in turn giving back to the community.
Heroes for Hope offers a lifeline for parents to get their children more involved in sport, yet Hollie talks about how the strength and dedication of those parents fuel her desire and passion to grow the presence of sport for people of determination in the region. Hollie is clearly on a mission, and we’re behind her 100% - she’s currently got over 300 children and adults taking part and we so look forward to seeing how this grows over the coming years.

Live with the British Mums Dream Team for our final episode of the season.
In this week's episode, Emma, Cat, Buff, Ash, and Sophie review the year with lots of giggles and pay homage to the kindness shown in our community in tough times. Between Deliveroo, residents' discounts in the heat of the summer, birth plans, and the savvy nature of us mummas, the holidays feel manageable and, dare we say it, fun!
We never expected such an overwhelmingly positive response to the first twenty episodes. None of this would have been possible without the unwavering support of the guests, community, and team that 'feels all the feels' long with us.
So stay tuned, you're a part of this now, and we love that you are.
We are looking forward to starting Season 2 at the end of August.

It's October, and it's Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Buff and Emma enjoyed spending the morning with British Mum and business owner Natalie from the Oasis Candle Company. In this episode, we highlight the importance of getting yourself checked and checking yourself out.
Natalie speaks with honesty and sincerity about her brave journey with breast cancer, from breaking the news to the long-term emotional weight.
We were reminded that cancer doesn't discriminate and of the sheer strength of mothers.

Episode 13 - On The Sofa with British Mums and Vicki Ashlin from The Big Beauty Scoop! In this episode, Emma & Katie from British Mums sit down with the lovely Vicki Ashlin to talk all things beauty, and it’s such an insightful, informative and interesting chat. Vicki tells us why she founded The Big Beauty Scoop and how proud she is of the platform for being able to offer women impartial and honest beauty advice. We also dive into Vicki’s beauty secrets, her top products and her self-care regime, and we even talk about how your skin needs change as you go through life. Katie chimes in with her 90s make up malfunctions and fave local beauty suppliers and Emma quizzes Vicki on teenage beauty and how we, as mums, should be supporting our children with products suitable for their skin. This is honestly such an interesting episode, and we’re all now desperate to hand over our make-up bags to Vicki for advice – we predict an upcoming British Mums event of that nature!

On the Sofa with British Mums - The Arctic Challenge
On The Sofa with British Mums
10/21/24 • 26 min
For this week's episode of On the Sofa with British Mums, Lauren's husband, Andy, joins us to discuss the adventure of a lifetime.
Andy and two other UAE expat residents and explorers rowed for a cause: a mission to save the planet by raising awareness about plastic pollution in the world’s oceans and inspire the young generation while aiming to set five world records.
Their boat, the Ocean Guardian, proudly flew the UAE flag during the long and awe-inspiring journey through the Arctic waters, where nature, endurance, and sheer grit got them through with beautiful memories.
Their mission, called The Arctic Challenge, was to highlight the critical issues of ocean conservation and plastic pollution in one of the earth's most remote, harsh, precious, and vulnerable ecosystems.
Not only was this episode fascinating, but it reminded us all to follow our dreams for our future generations and for our future selves.
