In this laugh-out-loud, refreshingly honest episode of Fill Ur Cuppa, hosts Mrs. O and Una Leonard sit down with the fabulous Lisa McFarland—renowned relationship coach and self-proclaimed "reformed professional huffer." Together, they are tearing down the relationship myths we've been sold since childhood and getting real about what happens when adult partnerships get lost in the weeds of daily life, kids, and business.

In this episode, we unpack:

• Who’s Rearing Who?: How to break the exhausting cycle of feeling like a parent to your partner, and why women end up carrying the bulk of the emotional heavy lifting.
• The Codependency Trap: Why trying to "complete" each other is total BS, and how to transition into two whole people filling your own cups.
• Cracking the Love Language Code: What happens when a mismatch between communication and physical touch causes accidental resentment, and how to translate what your partner actually needs.
• The "Kitchen Sink" Rule: Why you need to stop throwing years of built-up frustration at your partner during a fight and learn to handle one cup at a time.
• Recognizing Capacity: How to spot when your partner is completely overwhelmed and give them the space to regulate their nervous system (even if it means going to bed mad!).

Whether you're navigating the stress of raising a family together, running a business side-by-side, or just trying to figure out why your communication has turned into a game of verbal tennis, this episode is packed with the exact relationship gold you need.

Grab your cuppa, hit play, and let’s figure this out together!

From completing a nursing degree with three children at home, to stepping into the role of chairperson for one of Northern Ireland’s most loved maternal mental health charities, Lyndsey shares the reality behind balancing family life, study, work, and purpose.

The conversation also reflects on Support 2gether’s emotional journey to winning the BBC Make a Difference Award 2025 — from terrifying live radio interviews and national TV appearances to celebrating the power of lived experience, friendship, humour, and showing struggling mums they are never alone.

This episode is full of warmth, funny moments, behind-the-scenes chaos, cheesy jokes, and the heart of what Support 2gether calls “The Big Hug.”

A powerful reminder that healing happens one conversation at a time — and nobody should have to walk motherhood alone.

✨ In this episode:

• Balancing motherhood, study, and nursing
• The reality of perinatal mental health
• Behind the scenes of the BBC award win
• Why lived experience matters
• Friendship, community, and finding your voice
• The humour that helps people cope

Put the kettle on, fill your cuppa, and join the conversation.

In this episode, Patrick spills on why he put our name forward, what the Gala means, and how (yes, really) law students can make big waves in the world of postnatal mental health support. Carly shares her proud-mum moment and what it’s like watching your child advocate for families everywhere. 💙
