Mum Brains Abroad

Mum Brains Abroad is a heartfelt podcast created by two mothers who met during pregnancy and formed a friendship rooted in shared vulnerability, honesty, and the deep need for community. Both expats living in Copenhagen, they bonded while navigating pregnancy and early motherhood far from their home countries. What began as casual conversations about cravings, culture shock, and prenatal appointments quickly evolved into something more powerful — a support system in a season that can feel deeply isolating, especially abroad. Beyond motherhood itself, the podcast also explores the quieter questions many women face after becoming mothers: Who am I now? What happens to ambition, career, creativity, and identity while raising children? Through deeply personal conversations, the hosts reflect on balancing motherhood with personal growth, evolving dreams, and the challenge of finding yourself both within and beyond being “mum.” Alongside their own experiences, the hosts welcome both expert guests and fellow mums to share insights, stories, and honest perspectives on parenting, identity, relationships, mental health, careers, and building a life abroad. 🌍 What It’s About: The podcast explores: • Raising babies in a new country • The emotional and mental shifts of motherhood (“mum brain” moments included) • Building community without family nearby • Cultural differences in parenting in Denmark • Identity, ambition, career pauses, and redefining purpose • Personal growth and rediscovering yourself beyond motherhood • Honest conversations about loneliness, joy, overwhelm, resilience, and belonging • Expert advice and real-life stories from mothers navigating similar journeys 💛 Why It Matters: Becoming a mother is transformative. Becoming a mother in a foreign country adds another layer entirely. *Mum Brains Abroad* creates space for: • Expat and international parents • Women navigating identity shifts and life transitions • Mothers balancing ambition, family, and a sense of self • Anyone craving authentic, personal, and unfiltered conversations about motherhood Through vulnerability, shared experience, and meaningful conversations, the hosts remind listeners that even far from home, you don’t have to do motherhood — or the search for yourself within it — alone.
