🎙️ Episode 1: Learning to Self-Advocate
In our first ever episode of The Motherhood Clinic podcast, we speak with Charlotte Brown - brand strategist, startup founder, and mum of two - about what it really takes to find your voice in early Motherhood.
She shares her experience of navigating a difficult first pregnancy, including a late diagnosis of hyperemesis and the internal struggle to speak up when things didn’t feel right.
We talk about:
- How easy it is to downplay your symptoms - and why that matters
- The quiet pressure to be fine, even when you’re not
- What self-advocacy looks like in real life - and how to build that skill
- The slow work of rediscovering your identity after birth
- How writing and movement helped her take ownership of her story
This conversation is about what happens when you stop minimising what you’re going through - and start backing yourself instead.
