This week on What They Don’t Tell You, we’re joined by the wonderful Louise Pentland - YouTuber, author, Disney superfan, and proud mum of two girls.
Emily and Matt sit down with Louise to chat about: ✨ Her lifelong love of Disney (and the magic that never fades) ✨ How her childhood shaped the way she parents today ✨ The unexpected joys and challenges of raising girls in 2025 ✨ What it was really like being one of the original YouTubers ✨ Writing her brand-new children’s book, and whether her daughters approved! ✨ The highs, lows, and funny behind-the-scenes moments of her wedding day
Plus, Louise opens up about the pressures of sharing so much of her life online, how she protects time for herself and her family, and of course, she takes on our quick-fire round (spoiler: we get her ultimate Disney princess pick 👑).
It’s honest, heartfelt, and full of laughs, the kind of chat you’ll wish you were having over a glass of wine (or a Diet Coke!).
