NEXT OF KIN THE PODCAST IS BACK!

Next of Kin The Podcast is back with a brand new chapter! In this special episode, Emma hands over the podcast and Next of Kin to Millie, a British expat, first-time mum and the new owner of Next of Kin, living between the UK and Dubai, UAE.

Join Emma and Millie for an honest catch-up as they chat about how they first met through nursery, how a chance TikTok video brought them back together, and why Millie decided to take on Next of Kin.

Millie shares her journey from Yorkshire to Dubai, meeting her Egyptian husband Mina, navigating an intercultural marriage and becoming a first-time mum to Gracie. We also talk about leaving Dubai while heavily pregnant, giving birth in the UK, solo parenting, postpartum mental health, sleep deprivation and the realities of being separated from your partner.

Emma also shares an update on Bonnie and reflects on her experience of having a high-needs baby, the pressures around baby sleep and parenting expectations, and why trusting your own instincts as a parent is so important.

Finally, we look ahead to the future of Next of Kin and what Millie has planned for the podcast and community.
