Modern motherhood is loud. Between social media, parenting advice, notifications and the endless mental load, many mums aren't lacking self-care, they're lacking silence.

In this episode, I share one simple, free self-care habit that can help calm your nervous system without needing childcare, money or hours of spare time: creating a daily "No Input" pocket.

If you're feeling overstimulated, touched out or mentally exhausted, this episode is a gentle reminder that sometimes the best thing you can do is... nothing at all.

Did Covid quietly destroy “the village” mothers once relied on?

In this episode, I explore how motherhood has changed since the pandemic and whether modern parenting has become far more isolated than previous generations.

From family “dropping in” to neighbours helping with babies, many mums grew up hearing stories about a village that simply doesn’t seem to exist anymore. But did Covid permanently shift the way we parent, socialise and ask for help?

If you’ve ever felt lonely during motherhood, overwhelmed by parenting expectations, or wondered where “the village” went, this episode is for you.
