Started by two young Somali mums in London, Entry Level Mums is more than just a podcast - it’s a space for real, unfiltered conversations about motherhood. Nasra and Sawiya don’t sugarcoat the journey. They share their experiences with honesty, vulnerability, and, of course, a good dose of banter. With completely different birth stories - Nas having a natural birth and Sawiya a C-section - they bring two unique perspectives to the table. But one thing they both agree on? Postpartum was tough. Isolating, overwhelming, and nothing like what they expected. No one should feel alone in motherhood.

    From Sleep Deprived to Sleep Consultant feat. Mounia | Entry Level Mums

    We sit down with Mounia, a Child Sleep Consultant to talk all things sleep deprivation. Before having children, she worked long NHS night shifts supporting children with complex needs. She thought she understood exhaustion until her first baby woke up every single hour for over a year. When health visitors and GPs couldn’t give her the support she needed, she decided to take matters into her own hands and became a sleep consultant, helping exhausted mums and babies sleep. If you’re running on empty, this episode will make you feel seen.
