It probably comes as no surprise that an elite athlete parent would most likely have high expectations when raising their children, and 4-time olympic skier Chemmy Alcott is as elite a performer as you can get!

Chemmy talks about the huge advantages that her driven and ultra-competitive mindset can give to her children, but also what are the downsides of this way of parenting can be too.

Today's Q&A is on a topic that most if not all of us are all too familiar with, and that is navigating the wide range of parenting styles, and what to do when they come to a head!

Zoe & Georgia discuss your questions around disagreeing or undermining each other around the kids, how to approach a partner spending too much time on the phone and find out how shouting "Pineapples!" could help de-escalate an argument!

Friend of the show, iconic popstar and mum-of-three Kimberley Walsh joins us on the show today!

As Zoe was away, Georgia and Kimberley discuss how much has changed since Kimberley was last on the show about 7 years ago (Another baby boy for one!) as well as what her role is with the McDonald's and BBC Children In Need campaign where the familiar Happy Meal box is left blank for children to draw on and promote their creativity!

Today Zoe & Georgia speak to a former teacher, writer and mum of two Joy Mbakwe.

She doesn't hold back when discussing the current state and challenges that teachers and parents have to face when dealing with the education system. It's something we have all encountered and finding the right thing to do can be hard, so hopefully this chat will clear at least a little bit up for you!

Have you ever seen a ghost before? Or maybe you predicted something before it happened? In a very spooky Halloween special Friday Q&A episode, we put your ghostly, weird and haunting questions to spiritual medium Hannah Macintyre.

We try to figure out if those seemingly out of the ordinary coincidences are just that, or something more supernatural, and whether it's possible for all of us to contact the spirit world!

And in a first for us on the podcast - Zoe & Georgia get their cards read by Hannah, and even try reading each other's futures! It is not one to miss!

If you want to try card reading yourself, buy the same ones Hannah used in the episode here.

Talk about a trailblazer! Today's guest, Melissa Hogenboom, is the award-winning science journalist, BBC Commissioning editor and author of a brand new book called Breadwinners - which looks at the dynamics and society's expectations on (usually) women at both home and at work.

More women than ever before are earning more than their male counterparts, so why are they still expected to carry the weight of the housework, childcare and general running of the family unit?

Zoe & Georgia delve into this and plenty of other eye-opening questions with Melissa, with their own experiences and realisations coming to the forefront, as it likely will for you too!

This Friday Q&A took us all by surprise!

Thinking narcissism was quite a niche topic, Zoe & Georgia were proven wrong by the sheer amount of questions we got about it from you listeners.

They sat down for an utterly riveting conversation with psychotherapist and author, Kathleen Saxton!

They discuss how to recognise a narcissist, creating boundaries and protecting your children from narcissistic traits and how Kathleen thinks the psychological abuse suffered by someone living with a narcissist should be taken more seriously by society!

Her book My Parent The Peacock is out now and you can visit Kathleen's website psychedventures.com for more information.
