The role of being a Mother offers us the potential for incredible expansion, growth, and power, while also being one of – if not THE – most challenging, undervalued, and taken for granted roles in the world. Motherhood Studies Sociologist, researcher, and single Mother, Dr Sophie Brock hosts The Good Enough Mother (TGEM) podcast with an aim to change how Motherhood is culturally defined and individually experienced. TGEM draws its name from a theorist and pediatrician Winnicott, who highlighted the ways ‘good enough’ parenting is actually what is best for our children – not perfectionism. The podcast centres the Mother as the starting point for conversations with experts and change-makers who are passionate about seeing social, cultural, and institutional change to better support Mothers and therefore our families, and communities.All rights reserved

    128. Matrescence Through the Lens of Occupational Therapy with Hollie Swanton
    2026/05/28
    In this episode, I’m joined by Mental Health Endorsed Occupational Therapist, Yoga Teacher, Circle of Security Parenting Facilitator and Motherhood Studies practitioner Hollie Swanton to explore matrescence, regulation, identity, and the transition into motherhood through the lens of occupational therapy. Hollie supports women both perinatally and across the lifespan using body-based and mind-body approaches to healing, regulation, and reconnection. Together we explore the often invisible work of adapting to motherhood - the shifts in identity, routines, relationships, nervous system responses, and daily occupations that can emerge during the transition into becoming a mother. We discuss what occupational therapy actually is, how OTs can support mothers, and why motherhood can feel so physically and emotionally dysregulating, particularly within systems and cultures that often leave women unsupported, overstimulated, and disconnected from themselves.

    127. When It Feels Like You’re Not Doing Enough
    2026/04/29
    *The Motherhood Studies Certification is currently open for enrolment, starting May 6th: https://drsophiebrock.com/motherhoodstudies In this solo episode, I’m reflecting on a feeling that so many of us carry - the sense that we’re not doing enough. This can show up as the never-ending to-do list, the sense of being “behind”, comparison to others, or the pressure to keep doing more. In this episode, I explore where this feeling comes from and reflect on: - The difference between “not being enough” and “not doing enough” - Why “enough” often feels like a moving target - How cultural expectations shape our internal narratives If you work with mothers (or are moving into this space), I also explore the sense of relational responsibility many practitioners carry - and why your humanness is not a limitation, but part of your work. I speak to the importance of locating yourself within a broader system, rather than positioning yourself outside of it. If you’d like to explore the idea of “good enough” more deeply, you can also listen to: Ep 100. What is the Essence of 'Good Enough'?

    126. The Loving Moments and Bitter Truths of Motherhood – Maternal Ambivalence with Dr Margo Lowy
    2026/04/01
    Have you ever felt two completely different emotions about motherhood at the same time? Moments of deep love and connection… alongside frustration, resentment, or overwhelm? Have you ever wondered whether something is wrong with you for feeling this way? Or noticed how often mothers feel pressure to present only the loving, patient, endlessly grateful parts of themselves? In this episode, I’m joined by psychotherapist and author Dr Margo Lowy to explore the concept of maternal ambivalence - the experience of holding multiple, often contradictory feelings about motherhood at the same time. Dr Margo invites us to understand maternal ambivalence as a vital part of mothering - the capacity to hold the full range of feelings that arise in relationship with our children. Together we explore the emotional complexity of mothering, the cultural pressures that encourage mothers to suppress parts of themselves, and how learning to sit with conflicting feelings can deepen connection, compassion, and resilience.
