    Honesty as a mother: 'I feel like I'm failing all the time' with Dr Laura

    Welcome back to Everymum the podcast, I'm your host Aisling Keenan. Today’s guest is the brilliant Dr Laura Lenihan — GP, working parent of three girls and someone who speaks with rare honesty about the realities of modern motherhood. This conversation goes far beyond perfect parenting or tidy Instagram advice. We talked about Dr Laura’s own HRT journey and how hormonal changes can affect patience, relationships and the way we experience motherhood itself. We also got into the relentless balancing act of trying to build a career while raising children and the impossible standards many women feel they’re failing to meet every single day. We spoke honestly about maternal guilt, the mental load, and that feeling so many mothers carry that no matter how much they do, it somehow never feels enough. And we discussed the uncomfortable truth that the bar for fathers is often dramatically lower: how men are praised for participation while women are expected to carry the invisible management of family life almost by default. It’s a conversation about work, identity, exhaustion, resentment, love, ambition, and the emotional complexity of trying to be everything to everyone. But it’s also validating, and incredibly reassuring. Whether you’re a parent, thinking about parenthood, or simply trying to survive modern life without burning out, I think you’ll get a lot from this one. Here’s my conversation with Dr Laura Lenihan.

    'My children showed me what to do' — Dr. Suzanne Crowe on raising kids after loss

    Dr Suzanne Crowe doesn’t even try to separate being a doctor from being a parent anymore. The president of the Irish medical council is a paediatric intensive care doctor and a busy mother. And she admits that sometimes taking care of extremely sick children has led to her feeling a strong need to check in with her own children. “I have rung home on occasion to just check everyone’s ok. They’re kind of used to that”. “I do sometimes think did medicine shape my parenting, or did parenting shape the brand of medicine that I do”, she says. “They’re inextricable”. On the latest episode of the Conversations with Parents podcast Crowe explains what it’s like to parent four very different people and shares whether being a doctor proved a help or a hindrance in raising her family. “They did get a lot of ‘it’s grand. It’s a scrape’, she says. “Apparently I’m famous for saying “have a glass of water and go to bed”. In her role as a doctor, Crowe cares for children and families going though extremely difficult times. Sadly she’s no stranger to this on a personal level, having lost her baby daughter Beatrice while on holiday in France. “She’d be 15 now”, Crowe explains. “She was born very premature. She was born at 23 weeks on holidays in France – a nightmare holiday. She lived for 19 days and she passed away in France. It’s was an absolutely awful experience”. Crowe shares how she keeps the memory of her daughter alive, and explains how the loss of her daughter while away from home has given her an understanding in her professional life, of parents and families living in Ireland whose first language may not be English. In 2019 Crowe had to deal with the unthinkable again when her husband Barry died. “It certainly changed my parenting. You never get over it,” she says. “I remember the day he died and at one stage I lay down on the floor in the hall sobbing, and just completely lost…at one point I must have stopped and opened my eyes. And I saw the faces of my children and they were terrified. And you know, the one person that was left for them was clearly losing the plot. I just realised I couldn’t do that to them. I would have to actually just sort this out and help them.” She talks about how she coped in the days that followed her husband’s death and how her children helped her get through the days and weeks that followed.

    131: Alcohol, Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: No Shame, No Myths, Just Biology

    Alcohol, pregnancy and breastfeeding are surrounded by myths, slogans and a fair amount of internet nonsense. In this episode, Afif and Anne look at what alcohol actually does before conception, during pregnancy and while breastfeeding. They discuss paternal alcohol exposure, fetal alcohol spectrum disorder, the “sober enough to feed” slogan, pumping and dumping, beer and milk supply, and the misleading comparison between breastmilk and orange juice. No shame, no panic, just biology. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

    This is what resilience really looks like with Jen Healy

    Jen Healy’s story is not an easy one to hear, but it is an important one. In this episode of IMAGE The Motherload, Jen shares her journey from a childhood shaped by violence, through addiction, abusive relationships and homelessness, to the life she has built today as a mother, business owner and advocate for women’s mental health. This is a conversation about survival, but more importantly, it’s about what comes after survival. About healing, about the nervous system, about learning what safety feels like in your own body. Jen speaks with honesty and clarity about the realities of addiction, the complexity of abusive relationships, and the long road back to self-worth. She also shares the tools she now uses to support other women who feel overwhelmed, dysregulated or disconnected. It’s a story of resilience, yes. But it’s also a story of hope, of change, and of the quiet, powerful work it takes to rebuild a life. ***Trigger warning: this episode includes discussion of domestic abuse and addiction.

    EP215 Sarah, TTC, Three Positive Births, Intervention, Power of Hypnobirthing, Advocacy

    This week, I’m sharing my chat with Sarah as she talks through each of her three birth experiences. After spending a year trying to conceive, Sarah discovered she was pregnant just before making the final decision to move forward with fertility treatment.She reflects on the birth of her first daughter, a birth she still looks back on fondly, despite some difficult moments surrounding intervention and an unwanted episiotomy. We also chat through her two subsequent births, both of which were positive vaginal birth experiences.Sarah shares how powerful hypnobirthing was for her throughout second but mostly third pregnancies, and even more so with the birth of her third baby. There’s also a moment in her story where she felt strongly that she needed to say “no,” highlighting the importance of self-advocacy and trusting your instincts when something doesn’t feel necessary.

    Dolly Jones on Returning to Work After a Baby

    This week, Georgia sits down with Dolly Jones, former editor of Vogue.com and author of Leaving the Ladder Down, who interviewed over 200 women across every profession to find out how they really navigate working parenthood. From the unspoken rules of not mentioning your kids at work, to the guilt that follows you everywhere and the practical childcare logistics nobody warns you about - this is the conversation you wish someone had with you before you went back. Dolly also gets into why we judge each other so harshly at the school gate (spoiler: we're imagining it), the myth of the "perfect" return to work and the one piece of advice that takes the fear away entirely.

    Jennifer Wrynne on positivity, parenting and her cancer diagnosis at 10 weeks post partum

    Hi there and welcome back to Everymum the podcast. I'm Aisling Keenan, your host. Today’s guest is the fabulous Jennifer Wrynne. Jennifer, many of you will know, is a milliner, online influencer and mum of four, who in the past year or so has been sharing a deeply personal and life-changing experience very publicly: her breast cancer diagnosis. In this episode, we talk about that moment: how she found out, what followed, and the reality of navigating treatment while life kept moving around her. Jennifer speaks with incredible honesty about the fear, the uncertainty, and also the resilience she found in herself during that time. We also talk about her decision to share so much of her journey online, why she chose to be open, what that gave her, and how it’s helped other women, particularly when it comes to awareness around checking your breasts and paying attention to your body. This isn’t a story wrapped up in neat positivity. It’s about the complicated middle: the days that are hard, the mindset shifts that don’t come easily, and the ways people find strength when they don’t really have another option. Jennifer’s perspective is generous, grounded and incredibly impactful and I'm so grateful to her for sharing it with me and you, the listeners. Here's the episode, and I'll be back next week with more. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
