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.

    Mum mush 💛

    Motherhood is quite literally the biggest rollercoaster in the world. The best and hardest of times. Here’s a bit of mush as a reminder why we do it 💛

    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.

    I wasn’t failing, I was adjusting

    Early motherhood felt like a test. It was one I thought I had failed. I look back now and realise it was not a test, it was a period of adjustment to this brand new life. New life I had brought into the world and the inevitable new life it created for me. I look back now and want to say with love, you did the best you could and that was enough. To anyone who needs to hear this, this is for you.

    Promoting Independent Play

    Learning to mum for me has been about compromise. Constant adjustment to new routines. Relinquishing control. Leaning into the process of motherhood and all its beauty and challenge. I have however, lusted over more time to myself as the weeks and months have passed and encouraging Ophelia to play independently has always been part of that makeup. In this episode I’m sharing some of my thoughts on this. Independence is one of the skills I am personally so proud to have in abundance, if I can help Ophelia have this by teaching her from a young age that time yourself is not only enjoyable but necessary and vital then I’m all for it. Enjoy my thoughts!
