Honest conversations about motherhood, from one mumma to another.
Motherhood can be brilliant, funny, overwhelming, lonely, mundane and completely chaotic. Sometimes all in the same day. This is a space to talk honestly about all of it.
Each week, Mumma Chats brings together the things mums are actually talking about, from stories making the news to conversations happening at the school gates, in WhatsApp groups and behind closed doors. We don't just talk about the story. We ask what it means for mums and what bigger conversation it opens up.
You'll also hear Mumma to Mumma conversations, where mums share their own experiences of motherhood openly, honestly and without judgement.
Super Mumma is built around Community, Connection and Conversation, with Every Mumma Matters at the heart of it.
Because motherhood doesn't stop changing as our children grow. Whether you're pregnant, newly postpartum, navigating babies and toddlers, the school years, teenagers, older children or somewhere beyond, mums still need spaces where they can talk, connect and feel heard.
Come and join the conversation.
Because Every Mumma Matters.

]]>This week on Mumma Chats, I’m talking about life in our neurospicy household, the complicated feelings I had after hearing the National Autistic Society say autism is genetic, and why waiting years for an ADHD assessment is so much more than waiting for a label.
I’m also talking about something I’ve been thinking about a lot as we head towards Christmas, the financial guilt that comes with not working. From being called a “lady of leisure” while doing six school runs a day, to losing the financial freedom I had before children, it’s a conversation about work, motherhood, guilt and the choices that sometimes aren’t really choices at all.
And after all of that? This week I’m a Super Mumma because I achieved a boring week. And I’ll happily take it.

]]>We're also talking about the new pregnancy loss bereavement leave coming in April 2027. I share my own experience of miscarriage at six weeks, why recognising early pregnancy loss matters, and why the fact that this leave will be unpaid means I don't think the conversation should end here.
Finally, we're talking about breastfeeding in public. After comments online sparked a debate about feeling uncomfortable around women breastfeeding, I'm asking: whose responsibility is that discomfort? And perhaps instead of another breast versus bottle debate, we should be asking how we can better support every mum to feed her baby in the way that's right for them.
I'd love to hear your experiences and thoughts on any of this week's conversations.
This episode contains discussion of pregnancy loss and my own experience of miscarriage.

]]>We’re talking back to school, watching our children move into new stages, the mental load that comes with it and what happens to us as mums while we’re busy making sure everyone else is okay.
I’m also chatting about some of the stories and conversations that have caught my attention recently, from maternity care and whether mums really feel heard and supported, to school attendance and the realities families are facing behind the numbers.
This time I’m doing things a little differently. Mumma Chats is quite literally me, on my sofa, having a chat with you. It might not always be perfectly polished, I’ll probably go off on a tangent and you’ll definitely hear me figuring things out as I go, but that’s kind of the point. It’s just an honest Mumma to Mumma chat.
No experts, no perfect answers and definitely no pretending I’ve got it all figured out. Just a Mumma, a cuppa and an honest chat about motherhood.
Because sometimes, we just need to talk.

]]>In this episode, Jenny Lucas shares her late autism diagnosis at 38, the shock of not feeling that instant rush of love, the breastfeeding battles, the sensory overload, and the crushing guilt of “failing” at the motherhood she’d imagined.
What You’ll Learn
- The Bond That Takes Time: Why not feeling instant love when your baby arrives is common, painful, and doesn’t make you a bad Mum.
- Autism Behind the Overwhelm: How undiagnosed neurodivergence turned everyday motherhood into constant struggle and the relief of finally understanding why.
- You Are Enough: Letting go of the “perfect Mum” myth and embracing that doing your best with the brain you have is more than enough.
Jenny’s story is a gentle reminder that lands like a warm hug: you are enough, exactly as you are – neurodivergent wiring, messy days, and all.

In this episode, I sit down with Caro Giles, author of Unschooled. Through honest, raw and hopeful conversation, Caro shares her journey as a single mother raising four children, two of whom cannot thrive in a traditional school setting. What begins as a story of education quickly unfolds into a broader exploration of identity, motherhood, and the invisible labour of unpaid carers.
Caro reflects on the reality of fighting systems that don’t quite fit, the emotional toll of advocating for children who mask their struggles, and the quiet strength it takes to rebuild a sense of self amidst it all.
What You’ll Learn
When School Doesn’t Fit: Why some children simply can’t thrive in mainstream education and what unschooling really means in practice.
The Invisible Load: How unpaid caring affects identity, mental health and everyday life and why mothers’ voices matter.
Finding Yourself Again: Caro’s reflections on reclaiming joy, hope and identity while parenting through complexity.
Caro’s story is a testament to the power of resilience, love, and honesty. It’s a reminder to every mum who’s fighting battles no one else can see: you’re not alone, and your story matters.

In this episode, I’m joined by writer and journalist Rhiannon Cosslett, author of The Republic of Parenthood. Drawing from her much-loved Guardian columns and her own experiences as a mum, Rhiannon explores why so many of us feel the need to get everything “right” - from the perfect nursery to the perfect bedtime routine and how that pressure seeps into our everyday lives.
Rhiannon speaks openly about the mental load of modern motherhood, the power of honest conversations, and why letting go of the idea of perfection can create space for something far more meaningful: connection, community, and self-compassion.
What You’ll Learn
Releasing Perfection: How social media, comparison, and unrealistic expectations feed mum guilt and how to step back from it.
Redefining Motherhood: Why honest conversations and shared experiences can ease isolation and build real community.
Owning Your Journey: How embracing imperfection helps you trust your instincts and reclaim your confidence as a parent.
This conversation is a powerful reminder that perfection was never the goal - love, presence and doing our best is more than enough.
The Republic of Parenthood: On Bringing Up Babies is a powerful and honest exploration of what it really means to raise children today. Blending personal reflection with sharp cultural insight, Rhiannon’s’ book examines how parenthood shape’s identity, community, society and why it deserves to be treated as a shared responsibility, not a private struggle.

Laura also shares how she is using her role in Parliament to raise awareness, implement meaningful changes, and highlight the vital role of community support for mothers.
This episode is a heartfelt and honest conversation about the realities of postnatal depression, the importance of speaking openly about mental health, and why every mum deserves support, understanding, and connection.
*A gentle trigger warning* In this episode we will be talking about suicide and mental health. They are sensitive topics so please take care of yourself while listening and it is absolutely okay to pause and come back to it if you're not ready.

]]>I open up about the moment it hit me that I’d never go back to the version of me who could do things without overthinking, who wasn’t constantly managing anxious thoughts in the background. And how that realisation came with its own kind of grief , one we don’t often talk about as mums.
This isn’t about being ‘fixed’ or ‘cured’, it’s about learning to live with anxiety, understanding it, managing it, and finding acceptance (on the good days and the tough ones). I also talk about how isolating this journey can feel and why these honest conversations really matter.
So if you’ve ever found yourself missing the ‘old you’ or wondering why it’s so hard to just be okay ,this one’s for you. You’re not alone in this, and it’s okay to grieve the version of yourself you’ve had to leave behind.
Let’s keep talking about the bits of motherhood and mental health that don’t always get said out loud.

We chat about the silent expectations placed on mums, especially those who’ve been through IVF, and the importance of having support, not just for the baby, but for you too.
This episode is for every mum who's ever felt like she should be coping but isn’t. It’s a powerful reminder that you’re not alone, and you’re not failing. Motherhood is complex, messy, beautiful,and it’s okay to say it’s hard.

]]>Neela talks openly about postnatal depression, birth recovery, and how hard it is to admit you’re struggling when the world expects you to be over the moon. We chat about the silent expectations placed on mums, especially those who’ve been through IVF, and the importance of having support, not just for the baby, but for you too.
This episode is for every mum who's ever felt like she should be coping but isn’t. It’s a powerful reminder that you’re not alone, and you’re not failing. Motherhood is complex, messy, beautiful,and it’s okay to say it’s hard.

]]>In this episode, I chat with Kasi from Flo & Thrive about the powerful link between our menstrual cycle, motherhood, and mental wellbeing. We explore how hormonal changes can affect our mood, energy, and ability to cope with the daily mental load of being a mum. Kasi walks us through each phase of the cycle and shares gentle, practical ways to track it, spot patterns, and show ourselves more compassion (especially when the guilt creeps in). She also opens up about navigating Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD) and how understanding her cycle helped her support her mental wellbeing and feel more present in motherhood.

]]>From Autism and Hip Dysplasia to the complexities of ARFID (Avoidant Restrictive Food Intake Disorder) and Perthes Disease, Michelle shares her personal experiences and how they’ve impacted her mental wellbeing. We talk openly about the emotional rollercoaster of parenting a neurodivergent or medically complex child, the heavy (and often invisible) mental load mums carry, and the weight of societal expectations that can leave many feeling like they’re not doing enough.
Michelle speaks honestly about how crucial the right support system, both professional and community-based, has been for her, and how she’s found resilience in the face of ongoing challenges. Her story is a powerful reminder that even in the hardest moments of motherhood, small wins matter, acceptance is healing, and no mum should feel alone in their struggle.

]]>We talk about the raw reality of motherhood during treatment, trying to keep life going for your children while your own world feels like it’s falling apart. Esther shares how parenting didn’t pause, even when the chemo started, and how she found strength in the everyday moments, from turning up to appointments to simply getting through the next hour.
Our conversation explores the deep emotional impact of surviving breast cancer, the loneliness of treatment during lockdown, and the toll it’s taken on her mental health. Esther also reflects on the long-term healing, physically and emotionally, that continues, even five years on. Her story is a moving reminder of the resilience within motherhood, and the importance of speaking openly about the mental and emotional side of cancer.

]]>Because even if our experiences aren’t the same, motherhood connects us.
Through shared stories, support, and honest chats, I hope you'll find comfort, connection, and a reminder that even on the toughest days, you are a Super Mumma.
Let’s get the conversation started!
Sometimes, two mums chatting on the sofa can make the biggest difference to how we feel.
Through these conversations, I’ve learnt so much, helping me feel less alone, understanding more about why I’m feeling the way I am, and even finding ideas for where to get extra support. And that’s what The Super Mummahood is all about.
Mums sharing their stories, supporting each other, and reminding ourselves that even if our experiences aren’t exactly the same, there are always parts we can relate to, because motherhood is what connects us.
I hope you’ll join me for these bi-weekly conversations, and that they bring you comfort, connection, and a reminder that even on the toughest days, you are always a Super Mumma.
Let’s get that conversation started!
