Entry Level Mums

Nasra and Sawiya

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.

    "My Kids Don't Have Smartphones" feat. Suada | Entry Level Mums

    We're back! Happy New Year! In this episode of Entry Level Mums, we sit down with Suada, a mother of four and the founder of the Muslim Women Awards. Suada opens up about raising children at very different stages of her life; becoming a mum as a teenager, parenting through her twenties, and welcoming another child in her thirties. We talk honestly about how motherhood changes with time, confidence, and circumstance, the challenges of raising children in the age of smartphones, and how each child meets a different version of you. Suada also shares the story behind founding the Muslim Women Awards and why recognising Muslim women’s contributions matters now more than ever. A reflective, honest conversation about growth, legacy, and motherhood through the years. Make sure you follow us so you don't miss an episode! Also available on Youtube & Apple Podcasts.
