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.
