GEORGIA & KELSEY: Grieving Phoenix Has Been Harder Than Tom
Mum's The Word! With Georgia Jones & Kelsey ParkerShow Notes
Georgia Jones and Kelsey Parker are back together for an episode that perfectly captures the messy reality of motherhood.
The heavy bits, the joyful bits, and everything in between.
Kelsey opens up about the truth that grief doesn’t stop motherhood and motherhood doesn’t stop purpose.
She reflects on why grieving Phoenix has, in some ways, felt harder than Tom with the children being older, and how even in the depths of grief, life as a mum keeps moving.
The conversation lightens as they move on to Kelsey’s newfound love of home cooking, how it’s become grounding, creative, and unexpectedly comforting during a tough chapter.
Georgia then shares her latest 40 Before 40 list, inspired by listener Kirsty, though she’s very clear there are some things she absolutely will not be attempting.
And of course, We Listen & We Don’t Judge returns, with not understanding maths homework, Googling “is this normal?” at ridiculous hours & letting kids win the odd argument just to keep the peace
This episode of Mum’s The Word is motherhood exactly as it is.
