This week on the podcast, Ellie Thompson is joined by Laura Guckian, motherhood coach, award-winning host of Momfessions, and ambassador for perinatal mental health charity Mothers for Mothers. Combining lived experience with expert insight, Laura has supported thousands of women to navigate the realities of motherhood with more confidence, compassion, and care.

In this conversation, we discuss the moments that matter most in early parenthood, from recognising when your mental health needs support to understanding how partners can truly help. Laura shares practical advice on navigating neurodiversity, setting boundaries around social media, and building a self-care plan that actually fits into real life. We also tackle tricky topics like postnatal depression, relationship dynamics, and how to support a friend who might be struggling.

If you're a new parent, a partner, or simply want to understand the messy, beautiful reality of life after birth, this episode is worth a listen.
