If your FYP is full of millennial nostalgia content, you already know Helen — and if you don't, prepare to feel very, very seen.

Cara and Bronagh are joined by content creator and Deal or No Deal alumni Helen McPherson for an episode that went completely off-script in the best possible way.

Helen shares how a life-changing TV experience led her to ditch everything and start creating content — and within a year, go viral.

From denim skirt belts and viscose tops to dream matte mousse three shades too dark, the girls take a gloriously unfiltered trip back to their nights out, their beauty bag disasters, and the very specific experience of being a millennial who still doesn't feel like a grown-up.

Somehow they also cover Big Brother fight night, walk of shame outfits, and whether Helen should start a podcast (the answer is yes).

• Millennial nostalgia — nightclub laps, Christmas Eve hometown drinks & noughties night out fashion
• Deal or No Deal — Helen's experience filming and the unexpected aftermath
• 2000s beauty bag essentials vs what actually works now
• Raising kids today vs how we were raised — respect, boundaries & the open door policy
• Millennial age dysmorphia — why none of us feel as old as we are

This episode is all about reassurance and relatability. From food battles to wardrobe wobbles, it is a reminder that you are not doing it wrong, you are just doing a lot.

Along the way, the girls dive into:

• The packed lunch and dinner juggle, with realistic shortcuts that actually get eaten
• Spring Summer 2026 fashion trends, including bright block colours, leopard print and how to try them without overthinking
• Honest style advice for postpartum bodies and changing shapes, with confidence first
• Comfort TV chats and why Call the Midwife hits differently when you are tired

With a balance of practical fashion chat and a quiet arm around the shoulder, this episode leaves you feeling reassured, understood and very much not alone.

This week on The School Runway, Cara returns from her Disney Cruise with tales of fireworks at sea, Aladdin-themed dinners, and a not-so-magical pig bite in the Bahamas. Meanwhile, Bronagh is battling yellow Invisalign attachments, and prepping for her upcoming ski trip with a mountain of thermals and vac-packed bags.

This week:

• Disney cruise tips: from Castaway Cay to pirate night and that Bloody Mary
• How to make the most of a child-free Disney World day
• Listener contributions: Based on Cara's ongoing battle of things Deliah has been sneaking into school, we ask our listeners 'what your child has sneaked into school?'
• Big news: Bronagh’s finally getting her dream blue Staffy

Packed with travel tips, pet manifesting, and laugh-out-loud parenting moments, it’s another warm and wonky week on the pod.

This week’s episode of The School Runway, Cara and Bronagh share practical tips for transitioning your wardrobe into spring — from layering thermals under summer dresses to pairing puffers with pastels. And if you’ve still got a bomber jacket from 2016, you might just be on-trend again. (But remember, as Bronagh says, don’t follow trends — follow what works best for you!)

The girls take a playful dive into fashion throwbacks, starting with 2016 and then rewinding even further to 2006 — think Paul’s Boutique bags, parka coats and oversized belts galore. Plus, is there a quiet panic that younger generations might hijack the millennial staples, especially with Molly-Mae’s new Adidas collab?

Cara also opens up about a recent moment closer to home, as she shares the joy of a surprise visit from her brother.

This week, Bronagh and Cara are wrapping up warm, rewiring their wardrobes and resetting for a calmer, more stylish 2026. It’s all about finding joy in the clothes you already own, making fashion feel easy again, and laughing through the chaos of school runs, cold snaps and coat cupboard meltdowns.

We cover:

• Why Bronagh sent her new Abercrombie tracksuit back… twice
• Top tips for school shoes, thermals and vintage finds
• The leopard print coat that's breaking the internet (and the bank)
• Jewellery you’ll never take off
• Red Gazelles, charity shop hats and the art of layering
• How to style your wardrobe when you're not styling your life
• And… an impassioned deep dive on Call the Midwife (with zero apologies)

It’s real talk, real clothes, and real chaos—as always. Put the kettle on, pull on a big coat, and come reset with us.

This week on The School Runway, we’re back for 2026 and hitting the ground in comfy trainers and fresh perspective.

Cara and Bronagh kick off the new year with reflections, resolutions, and a whole lot of real life. There’s talk of manifestation boards, morning washing routines, and whether Cara’s lip flip has made it physically impossible to sip a can of Diet Coke.

From fringe mishaps to fashion resets, they chat everything from what they got for Christmas to how they're tackling 2026 with a little more balance, a little less stress and maybe a trip to Dubai or Dublin if the universe says yes.

Expect plenty of laughs, mum hacks, and style confessions—plus a new goal for the year: actually sitting down for an hour of peace (and maybe even reading a book).

This week on The School Runway, it’s the final festive chat of the year – and Cara and Bronagh are wrapping it up in true mum-style. Think birthday party chaos, Christmas tree debates, mashed potato sandwiches and just a touch of Irish cream overstocking.

They share:

• Why five bottles of Irish cream isn’t excessive
• The joy of spotting Christmas through your kids' eyes
• Partywear that works for pub trips and peeling sprouts
• Cosy styling tips for everything from church to couch
• Honest moments about grief, celebration and togetherness

Plus, a brilliant Q&A with your fashion dilemmas – including comfy-but-chic Christmas looks, whether to bother with partywear, and how to get festive without going full glitterball.

It’s real talk, layered knitwear and festive cheer from two mums who are doing Christmas their way.

Thanks for listening all year long – we’ll be back in January after a well-earned mince pie (or three).
