## Resource

This week on Mum’s The Word, Georgia Jones and Kelsey Parker are back for a honest catch-up… and this one goes a little deeper than usual. Kelsey opens up about the fourth anniversary of Tom’s passing and why the entire month of March feels overwhelming: from Brain Tumour Awareness Month to birthdays, Mother’s Day, and the emotional weight that comes with it all. She shares the reality of grief four years on, the pressure of public remembrance, and the small but powerful moments that still hit hardest. Meanwhile, Georgia reflects on loss in her own life, the strange emotions tied to memories, and the unexpected ways social media, even a trending song, can bring everything rushing back. But it’s not all heavy. The pair balance it out with the everyday chaos of mum life from school swimming lessons (and Georgia’s very real fear of swimming pool floors) to Easter holiday panic, juggling work with kids at home, and the ongoing debate of whether we’re all just running on empty. Plus, “We Listen & We Don’t Judge” is back, with more relatable parenting confessions, and the usual mix of laughter, honesty, and moments that will have you thinking, “same.” From grief and healing to verrucas, Crocs and complete life overwhelm… this is motherhood in all its messy reality.
