No Parental Guidance

This week we're joined by the iconic Jess Wright. TOWIE original, mum, businesswoman, and refreshing and honest guest!

And yes… this episode goes there. From PND, antidepressants, and the black cloud that hit her the moment she walked through the front door with her newborn, to stabbing a football with a carving knife because the kids just wouldn't stop. Jess holds nothing back.

She opens up about her son Presley's heart condition diagnosis, the moment a doctor told her he would need open heart surgery, and how she held herself together long enough to host a charity ball before quietly falling apart afterwards. It's raw, it's real, and it will stay with you.

There's talk of parenting fails, sleep regressions, the Bottle Fairy who absolutely did not work, and why kids save their absolute worst behaviour for the person who loves them most.

Jess gets candid about life after TOWIE, why she still can't watch the clips back, the misconceptions about the Wright family, and why no one really knows the truth about who they are behind closed doors.

There's also Britney Spears chat, mum jeans, Morpheus 8, and the very specific chaos of trying to film a reel in your garden when your neighbour is definitely listening.

Funny, emotional, and completely unfiltered. If you've ever felt the weight of a diagnosis you didn't see coming, questioned every parenting decision you've ever made, or just needed someone to say it out loud, this one's for you.

ACHOO Syndrome: We finally name the "sneeze-fest" Louise experiences every time the sun comes out. (Yes, it’s a real thing!)

"Chop my arm off, I just want a baby." This week on No Parental Guidance, we are joined by the incredible Genevieve Turley (@genevieveturleymua). From her high-pressure days as an RAF Burns & Plastics nurse to becoming a viral makeup sensation, Genevieve doesn't hold back on the realities of motherhood, IVF, and growing up way too fast.

We dive deep into Genevieve’s emotional IVF journey; the stress of shrinking embryos and the moment she realised she only had one shot. Plus, Louise and Genevieve compare their wildly different starts to puberty (starting at 9 vs. 15!),

Whether you’re navigating "ball bag" tired eyes, the stress of the school run, or the mental load of fertility treatment, this episode is a reminder that we are all just winging it.
