Episode 10 – On The Sofa with Chris from PractiCal
So, this week, we have our first male guest (apart from Santa, of course), and we love the energy and enthusiasm he brings to the podcast. Emma and Caitlyn were thrilled to chat with Chris, the founder of PractiCal and very proud husband of British Mum Ellen. In this episode, we chat about eating habits and Chris’ incredible and highly practical way of addressing mealtimes. Not only is the food incredibly tasty (think Spag Bol, Lasagne and Steak), but the meal plans are flexible, the cost is low, and the order process is simple. He’s certainly hit the nail on the head in knowing what busy mums want! Plus, he brought some goodies for us to sample, and we can vouch that they’re amazing. If you want to give PractiCal a go (and you will after you listen to this), Chris has set up an amazing 20% discount for British Mums – enter code BMD20 at the checkout.

This week, we meet the legend that is Rohini Gill.
It’s a name well-known within the British Mums community for her positive weekend posts, heartfelt comments, and overwhelming desire to help others.
She’s all about putting the ‘heart’ back in HR whilst the lovely Emma and Ash quiz her on CVs, maternity leave, and heading back to work.
We also learn more about this very remarkable woman on a personal level. We are truly humbled to have had the chance to chat with her, and she has great advice, tips and, most importantly, a very empowering message for all mums looking to get back into work. Have a listen now, and don’t forget to follow! Thank you, Rohini – we love you! x

We’re talking multi-tasking this week on Episode 4 of ‘On The Sofa with British Mums’
It might feel like there’s always an endless list of jobs as a mum, but this half-term we chat to Kat Kearsey, who is not only Chairwoman of Gulf For Good but has a full-time job, is a mum to two wonderful children, dabbles as a DJ and tasks herself with completing a list of exciting challenges on a yearly basis.
Also juggling two jobs and motherhood is our very own Katie Chambers, who is very much at home behind the mic and has somehow signed the whole community up for a camel hike – it’s all in the name of helping others though so we’ll let her away with that one!

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.

In this week’s podcast, Emma and Hannah are joined by Sam Preston, a long-time Dubai resident, mum and founder of Desert Girls Netball Club (DGNC), a non-profit community netball club that is going from strength to strength.
Sam started the club nearly nine years ago and explains that what started as a platform to allow her daughters more exposure to netball has grown into a club of over 250 players, from the teeny tiny FS2s through to the older girls who are representing the UAE in netball on the world stage. Sam talks passionately about her desire to see girls playing sport, and the important life skills they can take away from playing as part of a team. Sam is also a strong believer in sports not only being good for a child’s physical ability but also for their mental, emotional and social development needs.
We hope you love this podcast as much as we do. Please share your thoughts with us at [email protected].

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.
