Episode 1, Season 2: The New Mum Loneliness No One Talks About

First off - thanks for listening to season 1 of pod, I've loved every minute and this episode takes us into season 2, and I've also changed the name of the podcast (take a listen to find out why)!

Maternal loneliness is a thing - and far more common than we think.
Whether you’re deep in the newborn haze, navigating solo parenting, or simply feeling disconnected from your old life and friendships… you’re not alone.

In this heartfelt episode, I’m speaking directly to the mums who feel isolated, unseen, or quietly struggling behind closed doors. I’m also calling in the mums with older children - because if you know someone on maternity leave or deep in early motherhood, there are some simple things you can do to support them.

You’ll hear:
💛 Why loneliness is so common in motherhood
💛 How the modern world has stripped away the village (and how you can find yours)
💛 Small steps that can bring more connection and support into your life
💛 And the importance of being that person who reaches out, checks in, and creates community

You deserve support. You deserve connection. And if you're seeking real life connection with other mums, please do check out the links below.

🎙️Episode 20: Releasing Resentment - A Hypnosis Session for Overloaded Mums

If you're carrying the mental load and starting to burn out - this one's for you.

In this special hypnosis session, I’m guiding you through a calming, subconscious reset originally created for a mum of two who felt overwhelmed, exhausted and full of resentment toward her partner.

She was done with doing everything and feeling unsupported in return. This session helped her release the emotional weight, communicate more clearly from a grounded place, and start carving out time for herself again.

Whether you’ve been simmering in silent frustration, or just need a reset to stop the passive-aggressive spiral and feel more in control again - this practice will help you reconnect with calm, clarity and your voice.

Get in touch if you'd like to find out how you can work with me and receive your own tailored hypnotherapy/coaching.

Episode 19: This week’s episode is a raw, fun, and deeply real conversation with comedian, actress and viral content creator Alyssa Kyria - aka The Funny Mummy.

We get into it all:
👩 The reality of calendar management and the parenting juggle
🧠 The relatable challenges and lessons gained from Perimenopause and ADHD
🧙‍♀️ The weird, woo-woo and wonderful things we’ve both tried in the name of healing
🍄 Altered states, authenticity in our work and comedy

Whether you're in the throes of perimenopause, exploring neurodivergence, or just need to laugh about how wildly imbalanced it all feels sometimes - this one's for you.

Alyssa is funny, honest and refreshingly open - and this chat is a beautiful reminder that there’s no one right way to be a parent, a woman, or a human figuring it all out.
