That’s 54,000 of us every year lopped out of the workforce for daring to have a baby. This episode digs deep on the current childcare crisis and how so many of us are getting into debt simply trying to function as a working family.

In this episode the TOWIE star opens up about the moment her boyfriend broke up with her when she was 11 weeks pregnant.

From dodgy dates to her 4-year-old daughter ‘saving her’ this is the happily ever after often left off the table.

Sure, sure it could be a newborn. But what about those nights where it’s a 3.41am wake-up and you have cortisol pumping through your system. Anna and Polly open up about what’s keeping them up at night and how to get some z’s if you are struggling.

It may be a term you've heard of, but how much do you know about asexuality?

Do cosmetic procedures simply paper the cracks of self esteem? And how do you know when you've gone too far?

From white lies to great whopping ones, is there ever a place for dishonesty in the name of emotional protection? Anna and Polly deep-dive into the lies they’ve told, the ramifications that have landed and question the line of dishonesty and holding back certain truths to diffuse hurt.

Highs, lows, peaks and troughs from two generations of mothers trying to simply get through the day.

Hey DMP fans, we have a new podcast we think you'd like from Myleene Klass, called They Don't Teach This In School...

Be honest - how many times have you felt so under-equipped for what life has thrown your way? In school we learned about Pythagoras, but then we went out into the adult world and we were expected to know how to budget for a household, set up a bank account or know what to do when the boiler broke.

Myleene says "There was so much I wish we were taught. So that’s how my book and this podcast was born. I’ll be speaking to some brilliant guests to share their tips on how they and their families survive life’s challenges"

TW: This episode contains sensitive content about miscarriage. After her first episode on DMP that opened up the conversation around microchimerism (where a baby’s cells transfer to a mother during pregnancy ♥️), Myleene is back to talk about changing laws around miscarriage and how she won’t stop until the medical profession takes a humane approach to what it is to lose a little life you’ve imagined. To lose a little part of yourself.

It’s been a big week in the DMP towers. After landing the plane as kindly as humanly possible, Anna and her husband Matt announced their divorce.

Confirm your decision to be an organ donor at organdonation.nhs.uk. It’s the best thing you’ll do today.

This episode was meant to come out a week earlier but Elizabeth was feeling burnt out. She owned where she was and we rearranged the interview.

Not a very sexy subject but Polly is losing her hair in clumps. Anna lost a lot four years ago and it’s never recovered. It apparently takes 10 years to recover from childbirth but how much do we really recover. This episode is about untangling the knots of motherhood - mentally and physically. And wondering what the root cause of hair loss actually is…

Sure, sure we often shed a tear or two on this podcast. But this episode is more of a cry-laughing vibe.

Brutal, hilarious listening to perk up the most child-ravaged soul.

Are you frigid? Are you a slag? Have you been called a slapper or a whore? Or when you got married, did you become the Madonna? In this episode Anna and Polly dig deep on the misogyny that lies around female sexuality. Men that can’t shag their wives because they are ‘good’ and guys that have affairs for the ‘bad girl’ or slag. Good God it’s a minefield. Cue The Madonna-whore complex.

While personally and physically failing. If you feel like you are never doing enough and find social media anxiety inducing in terms of ‘excited to announce’ posts, then this one is for you.

After putting a poll out, more than 90% of Anna’s audience believe they are inclusive as a parent. That might well be true but a lot of SEN parents got in touch and said that wasn't their experience at all.

From language to kindness and even the odd party invite, this is an essential listen.

One of the most open and honest chats so far, this episode is, perhaps, sexually healing for anyone worried about their sex life.

Are you too old to be hungover? Anna and Polly question how impossible it is to go out OUT and parent/adult the next day. From exhausted school runs to letting your kid draw on you so you can close your eyes for a fleeting 5 minutes, is it time to, well, put down the espresso martinis?
