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.

On The Sofa with British Mums - Episode 17 with Dr Teizeem Dhanji from Sage Clinics
This week, Emma and I are joined by the lovely Dr Teizeem Dhanji, a Consultant Child & Adolescent Psychiatrist & Eating Disorders Specialist, to discuss picky eating, when to start worrying, and when to seek help.
All of us recognise ‘fussy eating’ in ourselves, family members or friends. While this can be a normal part of development for some children, it can also signal a deeper issue.
The key takeaways from this week’s episode are that you are definitely not alone, there is plenty of support available, and it's crucial to seek help early.

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.
