If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing everything right as a mum and still somehow failing, this episode is for you.
Today we’re talking about how the patriarchy sets mums up to fail, from the invisible mental load to impossible expectations and the constant pressure to be everything to everyone. Because the truth is, it’s not that mums aren’t coping, it’s that the system was never built to support us in the first place.
In this honest and relatable chat, I unpack why modern motherhood feels so overwhelming, the pressure to be a “perfect mum” while also working and managing a home, the mental load mums carry every single day, and why mum guilt is so common and not actually your fault. We also dive into how society benefits from unpaid motherhood labour and why so many mums feel like they’re falling short.
If you’ve ever thought “why is this so hard?” or “why can’t I keep up?” you are not alone, and more importantly, you are not the problem.
This is a real and unfiltered conversation about motherhood, identity, pressure, and the expectations placed on women today.
Whether you're a stay at home mum, a working mum, or somewhere in between, this episode will make you feel seen.
