Politics of Motherhood

This episode is a gentle conversation about choice. We’re reflecting on the different paths women take life with children, life without children, and everything in between. Not to compare or convince, but to understand and hold space for one another. Every woman’s journey is shaped by her circumstances, her values, and her season of life. And all of those stories deserve respect. This is a warm, t...

This episode started with money… and somehow turned into a conversation about family, boundaries, and the things we don’t realise we’re passing down. From being told “this is my money, not yours” to debating joint accounts, inheritance, and what independence really looks like — we found ourselves asking bigger questions about marriage, parenting, and legacy. It’s funny. It’s honest. And it might h...

Happy not-so-new year, everyone 🥳We’ve been easing back in and doing a lot of reflecting lately. This Christmas looked different for many of us — quieter, fuller, more intentional. Family felt louder than the gifts. Presence mattered more than plans. And somewhere in between the celebrations, we found ourselves grateful for things we don’t always stop to name… like parents who are still alive, ki...

This episode is not just about hair but it’s really about identity. The comments we grew up hearing. The beliefs we inherited. And the messages we’re now passing down to our children, especially our daughters. This is a reminder that the way we talk about hair shapes how our children see themselves. We’re reflecting on the messages we received growing up and asking how we can raise daughters who f...

Friendship before kids is one thing. Friendship after kids? Completely different conversation. Suddenly it’s missed calls, delayed replies, cancelled plans — but deeper love. Less time, more grace. Fewer hangouts, stronger understanding. In this episode, we’re talking about how motherhood shifts friendship, who stays, who drifts, and how love can still exist even when life looks nothing like it us...

Sleep is supposed to be “simple,” right? But for new mums, it becomes a whole emotional, physical, and mental journey. This week, we sit down to talk about the sleepless nights and days nobody warns you about, how it affects mothers, partners, identity, and everything in between. It’s vulnerable. It’s funny. It’s necessary.

"Imagine your brain quietly reshaping itself, forming new pathways, sharpening instincts… All to prepare you to love, nurture, and protect a tiny human. 🧠💕This week, we talked about something so mind-blowing — neuroplasticity.

I remember seating there thinking, "Wait—Another CS? That's What I Signed Up For!"Everything was going perfectly… until that 36-week appointment. One sentence changed everything I had planned for my birth. What do you do when the person you trusted the most suddenly changes their mind? Join the conversation as we open up about the shock, the anger, and the strength it took to stand my ground.

I kept saying, ‘My baby is dead,” not because I wanted to believe it, but because I needed the world to understand what my heart already knew. In that moment, everything changed. I had come in carrying a child, and I was leaving without her. But even when my arms were empty, my heart didn’t know how to stop loving or how to stop hurting. This is for every mother who’s carried love and loss in the...
