As Eat Sleep Repeat enters its final few episodes, Kee and Kelly are looking back at where it all began - lockdown lives, new babies, no village, and the hope of becoming the kind of mother’s group they wished they’d had. But this isn’t just a farewell lap. It’s a bigger conversation about identity, friendship, failure, ageing, motherhood, and the strange realisation that you can become a completely different person… and not really miss the old one.

Kelly is back from Bali, barely recovered and armed with the kind of stories that only come from a very big weekend away. Meanwhile, Kee has been feeling the quiet side of freelance life and finds herself unexpectedly emotional about long weekends, little routines and the strange things that make parenting feel magic.

New research says almost 60% of Australian parents are experiencing psychological distress. But for Kee and Kel, the most confronting part isn’t the statistic - it’s how familiar it feels. This week, they unpack the kind of burnout that doesn’t always look like falling apart. It looks like getting everyone to school, answering emails, remembering the lunchboxes, swallowing the guilt, and wondering why you’re so snappy when you’re trying so hard. Maybe the problem isn’t that parents aren’t coping, but that they’re being asked to carry too much.

This week, Kelly is personally victimised by a stuffed daycare kookaburra, a scrapbook full of suspiciously wholesome family activities, and the creeping fear that maybe everyone else is doing parenting better. Meanwhile, Kee is finding the magic in small domestic wins, from Facebook Marketplace chairs to the kind of cos home moment that makes you feel like you might actually be getting it right.

This week, Kee and Kelly are joined by Lem Zakharia - founder of Bedou, former executive producer of It’s A Lot with Abbie Chatfield, and the creator of the podcast Twice Displaced. Lem’s family story doesn’t fit the neat little boxes we’re used to. She fell in love with her wife Christina, and slowly became a parent to Christina’s two kids -— first from the sidelines, then right in the thick of tantrums, boundaries, bedtime battles and teenage emotional landmines. In this conversation, Lem opens up about step-parenting, queer family life, earning a child’s trust, and the moment she realised being “the other parent” wasn’t something she could claim - it was something she had to build.

This week, Kee and Kelly are having one of those weeks where everything is technically fine… but also absolutely not fine. Kee has a moment in Pilates that feels bigger than Pilates, Kelly survives a truly cursed medical appointment, and a very bold preschool sickie attempt hits a little too close to home.

What if the person you chose to have a baby with didn’t have to be the person you were in love with? This week, Kee and Kelly are deep-diving platonic co-parenting - from friends having babies together, to co-parenting apps, to the families choosing to raise children outside the traditional romantic relationship model. And the more they unpack it, the more the question becomes less “is this weird?” and more “did we just make parenting harder by doing it all in a nuclear family?” LINKS TO EVERYTHING WE MENTIONEDImpact - Mixed-Orientation Marriage Mamamia - I'm a straight woman happily married to a gay manThe New York Times: In Search of a Platonic Co-ParentElective Co-Parenting Study HOSTS & PRODUCERSKee Reece Searles @keereeceKelly McCarren @kelly_mccarren AUDIO PRODUCTIONMadeline Joannou - Mylk Media See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
This week, Kee and Kelly are deep in the trenches of mornings that start with tantrums, bedtimes that end in battle, and the very confronting moment your child starts repeating your own parenting back to you. And honestly, the mirror they hold up is brutal.
