Katherine Ryan: Telling Everybody Everything

She's the one who compared daycare to an orphanage (sort of) and said that when you let you babies 'cry it out' or are gone for prolonged periods of time, they assume you've died (kinda). That's how it may seem in short online clips, but the truth of what she has to say regarding neurology and attachment theory is far more complex. This week, Katherine's Telling Everybody Everything about brilliant psychoanalyst, author, and parent guidance expert, Erica Komisar as she joins us at Acast studios in London to discuss her newest book, The Child-Friendly Divorce. A sometimes controversial figure, The Left often rejects Ms Komisar's work because they see it as a retrogressive guilt-trip to push women out of the workforce. The Right embraces it to enforce traditional gender roles. Is anyone actually listening to the nuance of what she's saying regarding motherhood, criticism of how Western Capitalism pushes families to their limits and the toll it's taking on children and their mental health? Lots of people are actually, and Erica Komisar was recently featured on THE ACTUAL Kardashians! Whether you're about to be a parent, you're in the midst of parenting, or you didn't have the tools or information to parent the way you would if you could do it all again and you'd like to strengthen your parent-child bond now, it's never too late for repair. If you're going through a divorce, are thinking of leaving, or are single and wanting some RED FLAG case studies on why you should be super careful, Erica Komisar's The Child-Friendly Divorce is for you. www.komisar.com@EricaKomisar

This week, Katherine's Telling Everybody Everything about having the children alone for three nights while our first guest of the new series, Bobby K joins us in a beautifully revamped studio to detail his harrowing journey to Waterloo, Ontario. Are we meant to relive the debauchery of our university years in our forties? Judging by Bobby's suspected concussion, most probably not.

This week, Katherine's Telling Everybody Everything about how like a sports injury, a breastfeeding event can knock you sideways and end your milking career. Also, a school parent tweets something WILD about a child at the school and I guess everyone is just.... okay with it? Mummy's in danger of KARENING about it and embarrassing the family. Should we beg Erica Komisar to appear on the podcast or have we got feminist problems with her attachment theory? Jon Richardson can do better cartwheels than Katherine because she's starting to die. Also, comedian Andrew Johnston brings news from Hollywood like - Hayden Pannetiere's memoir is spicy and details her relationship with her daughter (who lives with her giant ex), Shakira has a big tax win over the Spanish government, and an update on Katie Price's missing husband.

This week, Katherine's Telling Everybody Everything about her unhealthy preoccupation with Katie Price's love life. A first born daughter, Katie is the queen of our hearts and Katherine can understand why she's digging her heels in so hard when so much evidence has been helpfully released to show her missing husband *could be* a massive scammer. Katherine and Violet spent a blissful evening away from most of the smaller kids but soon wanted to return home to the chaos. Also, Panorama reveals a MAFS UK scandal that has rocked Channel 4 and perhaps the format of reality TV forever.

This week, Katherine's skipping the BAFTAS to be Telling Everybody Everything about the reactions to the listener's email whose husband had his WhatsApp messages LOCKED. Should she confront him? Is he even doing anything wrong? The listeners were quick to write in about this one, giving advice and detailing their own experiences. He could very well be plotting to eat her, so hopefully we get to the bottom of it soon! Also, the tragic passing of reality star Jake Hall makes us scared about glass, Taylor Swift was in London, Chanel debuts leather ankle straps and calls them £1500 shoes, Steffon Diggs is GUILTY of stealing back Cardi B's heart, and Nick Cannon refuses to celebrate his 'baby mamas' on the day he uniquely qualified them for. You can follow comedian Andrew Johnston at @mandrewbrawnston on IG x

This week, Katherine's Telling Everybody Everything about how celebrities are making A MILLION dollars a week on Only Fans? Is not being on Only Fans a missed opportunity? Also, apparently you can't just go out and buy any car you like for a young driver. There are insurance rules about Litres and TORQUE and value and size and all kinds of things that Katherine had no idea about. Thank God once again for Bobby and his value-consciousness. But what does Katherine know - she can't even get life insurance so the plan is DONT DIE. Also, Andrew sends us Met Gala looks hot off the press and we play a little game of GAGworthy or SLAGworthy (which we know is mean). Plus, your letters about moaning neighbours and secretive husbands. xx
