  1. To be or not to be A mother

    FEB 6

    To be or not to be A mother

    This episode is a gentle conversation about choice. We’re reflecting on the different paths women take life with children, life without children, and everything in between. Not to compare or convince, but to understand and hold space for one another. Every woman’s journey is shaped by her circumstances, her values, and her season of life. And all of those stories deserve respect. This is a warm, thoughtful conversation about womanhood, motherhood, and the freedom to choose what feels right.💬 What does “choice” mean to you when it comes to motherhood?

  2. Money and Motherhood

    JAN 30

    Money and Motherhood

    This episode started with money… and somehow turned into a conversation about family, boundaries, and the things we don’t realise we’re passing down. From being told “this is my money, not yours”to debating joint accounts, inheritance, and what independence really looks like —we found ourselves asking bigger questions about marriage, parenting, and legacy. It’s funny. It’s honest. And it might have you rethinking a few things. 💬 Let’s talk — no judgement, just honesty. Joint accounts or separate — what’s your take? #MarriageAndMoney #CouplesAndMoney #JointAccounts #MoneyTalk

    New year, same old fun moms!

    Happy not-so-new year, everyone 🥳We’ve been easing back in and doing a lot of reflecting lately.This Christmas looked different for many of us — quieter, fuller, more intentional. Family felt louder than the gifts. Presence mattered more than plans. And somewhere in between the celebrations, we found ourselves grateful for things we don’t always stop to name… like parents who are still alive, kids growing right in front of us, and simply making it through the year.Motherhood has a way of changing how you measure time. You start noticing what really matters — and holding it a little closer.We’re talking about all of this in our latest conversation, and it feels like one you’ll want to sit with. 🤍How did you spend your Christmas, and what are you carrying into this new year? Share with us 👇🏽#happy2026 #restisproductive #motherhoodunfiltered #realmumtalk #politicsofmotherhood

    When motherhood changes everything: The Friendship Shift

    Friendship before kids is one thing. Friendship after kids? Completely different conversation. Suddenly it’s missed calls, delayed replies, cancelled plans — but deeper love. Less time, more grace. Fewer hangouts, stronger understanding. In this episode, we’re talking about how motherhood shifts friendship, who stays, who drifts, and how love can still exist even when life looks nothing like it used to. If you’ve ever felt guilty, distant, or deeply grateful for a friend who gets it , this one’s for you. 💛

  6. The Cost of Being a Working Mum

    The Cost of Being a Working Mum

    Listen, being a working mum in this economy should come with hazard pay. I mean, negotiating for 3 hours to bathe your baby? bosses asking, “Are you sure you’re in the right industry? women resigning with zero plan because the stress is actually so brutal and society undervaluing motherhood unless it comes with a payslip.  Motherhood is work. Real work. Invisible work. Unpaid work. Valuable work. And every mum deserves dignity, boundaries, and choice.
