On The Sofa with British Mums - Season 2: Episode 11 DESS: Legacy, Family & the Future.
In this episode, Emma and I are on location at DESS College to catch up with DESS Oud Metha Head of School, Tony Clarkson and Headteacher, Neil Brinicombe, who will be heading up the new site at Academic City.
Don't expect a normal school podcast - we're diving into the legacy and magic of what makes the DESS family of schools so special. We have a few laughs, ask the tough questions and get goosebumps as both our lovely guests so effortlessly explain their unwavering commitment to each child's individual progression. It's evident that Tony and Neil hold the same values as those who have walked before them, and are fully committed to transferring that ethos into DESS Academic City. For more information on either of the primary schools, head over to www.dess.sch.ae.

It’s the start of December, and whilst we’re feeling truly festive, it’s important to remember that this is the time of year that comes with a lot of pressure, expense and mum guilt! This week, Emma and Charlotte are joined by the lovely Harriet Mandak, a Transformational Life Coach who the British Mums team have the pleasure of knowing personally as she worked with us for a few years! An absolutely gorgeous human being, Harriet talks about navigating the high expectations placed on mums in a time when emotions are high, and we have to say, this episode resonated with us completely! Have a listen and let us know what you think – we love hearing your feedback!

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.

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.
