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?

Why does modern motherhood feel so overwhelming, even when you’re doing everything right?

In this episode of The Night Feed, I explore the growing impact of the attention economy on mums, and why today’s mothers are experiencing a level of mental load, overstimulation and pressure like never before.

From endless scrolling during night feeds to constant comparison and parenting advice online, it’s easy to feel like you’re always “on” and never quite enough.

In this episode, I cover:

• Why motherhood feels more mentally exhausting in the digital age
• The impact of social media on postpartum mental health and comparison
• What the “attention economy” actually means for mums
• Why overstimulation is one of the biggest hidden struggles of motherhood
• The shift away from sharing children online and “sharenting fatigue”
• How to feel calmer, more present and less overwhelmed

Plus:

• A listener story: “Baby Monitor Fail” — a toe-curling moment every mum will fear (and laugh at)
• A feel-good email on finding small, realistic ways to rebuild maternal self-image
• This week’s trending topic: why influencers are stepping back from sharing their children
• A simple self-care tip to help quiet a busy mind

If you’ve ever felt overstimulated, exhausted, or like you’re constantly comparing yourself to other mums online, this episode will remind you that you are not alone, and you are not failing.

Because you were never meant to compete with an algorithm!

In this episode of The Night Feed, I explore how baby sleep differs around the world and why there’s no single “right” way to do it. From sleep training in the US to co-sleeping and slower-paced parenting in places like Sweden and Spain, this conversation is a reminder that cultural norms shape how we parent more than we realise.

I also talk about the pressure millennial parents are under; raising children in a more isolated, expensive, and information-heavy world, while still trying to be deeply present and connected.

Plus, I answer two listener questions:
• The anxiety spiral of Googling baby milestones
• Fear of choking during weaning and how to navigate it safely

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, unsure, or like you’re doing it wrong this podcast is here to reassure you that you’re not.

Welcome back to The Night Feed. This episode is all about the mental load of motherhood; from decision fatigue to baby sleep struggles, comparison, and those days where you feel completely touched out.

I talk about one of those nights where everything feels harder and why, even after no sleep, you will get through the next day (even if it’s powered by coffee).

We dive into decision fatigue in motherhood; that strange moment when the baby finally sleeps and you suddenly don’t know what to do with yourself. After thousands of micro-decisions every day, your brain just shuts down. If you’ve ever stood in the kitchen holding a muslin wondering how your life got here, this will feel very familiar.

Welcome back to The Night Feed. In this episode I’m talking about some of the more emotional parts of early motherhood: postpartum body image, setting boundaries with family, and the rise of something many mums are quietly experiencing: postpartum rage.

I share a listener email about struggling with maternal self-image after having a baby. Even after a healthy pregnancy, body changes, constant hunger from breastfeeding, and lack of time can leave you feeling disconnected from yourself. I talk through practical, realistic ways to feel more like you again without pressure or unrealistic expectations.

We also dive into a situation so many mums will recognise: a mother-in-law posting photos of your baby on social media without asking. If you’ve ever felt uncomfortable setting boundaries or worried about upsetting family, we talk about how to handle it clearly, calmly, and without guilt.

In this week’s trending topic, I talk about postpartum rage and why so many mums are talking about it right now, what it actually is, and how overwhelm, mental load, and lack of rest can show up as anger. If you’ve ever felt snappy, overstimulated, or not quite like yourself, this part will resonate.

This episode is here to remind you that you’re not alone in how you’re feeling.

You’re not failing. You’re just carrying a lot.
