“I feel so grateful that we’re able to share our mum with so many people, because she’s such a force to be reckoned with.” 💬💖 This week, we are delighted to welcome Their Royal Highnesses Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie to the podcast, who join us to talk about the lessons they have carried forward from their mother, Sarah, Duchess of York. In this heartfelt conversation, Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie share the joy, humour and love that they were surrounded by during their childhood, their most treasured memories with their mother, and the resilience, strength and individuality that she instilled in them. We also talk about their experiences of raising their own children, building character and resilience from the challenges we face as mothers, the importance of kindness, empathy and acceptance in motherhood, and the impact that their mother’s charity work had in shaping their values as women. We hope you enjoy this conversation as much as we did 💖 listen now, wherever you get your podcasts! 🎙️ #lessonsfromourmothers #motherhood #mothering #podcast #mothers #parenting #beingamother #resilience
“Communication is the most important thing for a mum with her children…” 💬💖 This week, we welcome @damemaryberry to the podcast. A prolific food writer, chef, baker, presenter and mother of three, Mary is one of the most recognisable faces on our television screens and book shelves, having written more than 80 cookery books in her decades-long career 📚 Mary generously invited us to her home to record our conversation (and fed us the most delicious cake afterwards, of course), and we couldn’t feel more grateful to her for giving up her time to speak to us – just a week before her 90th birthday! 🎂🎊 In this episode, Mary shares her experiences and insights as a mother, reflecting on her own mother’s influence and the lessons she learnt from her throughout her life – particularly when it comes to positivity, which Mary credits as the reason why her mum lived to 105. We talk about the importance of kindness and communication, navigating ‘mother’s guilt’, juggling career ambitions and motherhood, and recognising the joy of cooking together as a family. We also discuss the impact of loss, the strength found in family bonds, and why it’s so important to honour the traditions that we pass down through generations. Mary’s warmth and wisdom shines through in everything she does – we really hope you enjoy our conversation as much as we did! 🥰 #lessonsfromourmothers #damemaryberry #maryberry #motherhood #mothering #motherfigure #podcast #mothers #maternalfigure #loss #grief #familybonds

Today is my sister Pandora’s birthday – a day that will always hold a special place in my heart. This is a memory of us dancing together on a family holiday somewhere in Dorset, filmed by our mum. She loved to dance, no matter where she was. This song was one of her favourites. Now she dances among the angels @pandora_cooper_key ♥️

“Motherhood has kind of made me not care as much” 💬 This week, we are thrilled to be talking with fellow podcaster, actress, author, presenter and mother of three @mrsgifletcher 💖 Founder of chart-topping podcast Happy Mum, Happy Baby, Giovanna is a comforting and unifying voice in the parenting space, allowing us all to feel less alone in our struggles as parents. In this episode, we talk about Giovanna’s journey to motherhood and her life as a mum of three boys, why she chooses to embrace the chaos of being a mother and find joy in the little moments, and the importance of connection, communication and spontaneity in family life. Giovanna also shares how her mum always showed up for her and her siblings and how she has carried that forward into her own parenting of her three sons, always prioritising relationships and authenticity over societal expectations. We can’t thank Giovanna enough for coming on the podcast and speaking so candidly about her experience of motherhood (and being mothered). We hope you enjoy this one! 🥰 #lessonsfromourmothers #motherhood #mothering #podcast #motherfigure #mothers #parenting #happymumhappybaby #giovannafletcher #podcasters #motherofthree #motherofboys

Introducing Lessons From Our Mothers 💖🎙️ We are excited to share something that we’ve been working on for a while…our new podcast, Lessons From Our Mothers, launching on Mothering Sunday 2025! Have you ever stopped to think about the maternal figures in your life and how they have shaped who you are today? Have you ever asked them about their own experiences, or thought about the lessons that you have learned from them? Lessons From Our Mothers is a series of conversations that celebrate motherhood and mothering in all its forms. When our own mum fell ill last year, we set out to ask her all the questions that we had never thought to ask – and now, we’re on a sisterly mission to find out the stories of some special guests (and their mothers) through this podcast. There’s been some laughter, some tears and a lot of wisdom…and cake with Mary Berry, of course 🍰 Catch the very first episode on Sunday 30th March, wherever you get your podcasts! 🎧 We can’t wait for you to listen. Love, Isabella and Cressida 💖 #lessonsfromourmothers #motherhood #maternal #parenting #valuablelessons #mothering #motheringittogether #lessonsfromourmothers #maternalfigures #podcast #newpodcastalert #newpodcast #acast #spotifypodcasts #applepodcasts
