This podcast is dedicated to the honest account of being a first time mum as well as being a female generally. It will discuss all the highs and lows of motherhood and how fragile each can be. Normalising every emotion that comes with the honour of being a mummy and how every single hour can be a steep learning curve. This isn’t about scaring people, it’s about authenticity and expectation setting, something I feel lacked when I became a mum back in August 2020 in the height of a global pandemic. I’ll share my experiences candidly as well as discuss other topics that can be seen as taboo.

    The Working Mum Diaries - Part 1

    The Working Mum Diaries - Part 1

    Being a working mum feels like continuous compromise. Just when you think you’ve got it right, something shifts and you’re left questioning (yet again) the balance (or lack of). Will it ever be perfect? I guess not. I guess it’s a constant learning curve. I guess it’s in the title of the podcast right, it’s learning to mum…20 months in!

    Mothering Through the Menstrual Cycle

    As women, we don’t operate in 24 hour cycles. Throughout the month our hormone levels rise and fall and whilst this is nothing but normal, it can be hard to navigate while parenting. This episode acknowledges how tricky it can be.

awesome night for a newbie ,

Inspirational Woman

Having worked with Kelly I’ve had the privilege to see her in action in the work place. The woman has no limits and pushes herself in every challenge. Has a genuine investment in people and helps them unlock their potential. To see her take on motherhood and apply the same grit and determination is admirable. This however shows another side of her a very humble and vulnerable side of her which I am just in awe of! I follow her and O’s journey because I believe Kelly has a lot to give. I just hope when I become a mother I have someone like Kelly offering the same support me on the journey. Good, bad and ugly... well done KL aka McLaird 😊
