Show Notes
This week on Chaos with Karen and Ciara, we're catching up on all the usual chaos of family life, from travelling with children to the realities of trying to switch off when life feels busier than ever. We chat about the highs (and lows!) of family holidays, navigating airports with little ones, and those unforgettable encounters with drunk passengers that can make travelling even more stressful than it already is. We also have an honest conversation about social media burnout, the pressure to always be present online, and why it's okay to step back when you need to. Finally, we discuss an incredibly important topic for working mums: your rights during pregnancy and maternity leave. We talk about unfair dismissal, legal protections for pregnant employees, and why it's so important for women to know where they stand if they ever find themselves in a difficult situation

This week on Chaos with Karen and Ciara, we're joined by neonatologist and paediatrician Dr Sean Armstrong for a really informative and reassuring conversation about baby development, weight gain and what is actually normal.
This week on Chaos with Karen and Ciara, we’re joined by someone very special — Karen’s sister, Michelle — who shares her deeply personal journey with endometriosis, fertility and finally getting the answers she had been searching for. Michelle experienced incredibly painful and heavy periods from just 11 years of age. For years, she lived with symptoms without knowing why, until her journey to start a family in her 30s eventually led to an endometriosis diagnosis. She talks openly about what it was like to spend so many years in pain without a diagnosis, the frustration of not feeling heard, and the emotions that came with finally having an explanation for what she had been experiencing for so long. We also hear about Michelle’s fertility journey, the impact endometriosis has had on her life, and what it means to continue navigating life with a chronic condition. It’s a raw, warm and incredibly important conversation about women’s health, fertility, advocating for yourself and the importance of listening when women say something isn’t right. For anyone living with endometriosis, struggling to get answers about their health, going through fertility challenges — or supporting someone who is — this is an episode not to be missed.
