Today's episode grapples with the intense feelings of love and hate that can collide in the all-consuming, life-altering, identity-shifting role that is motherhood. We ask: Is it possible to love your child and hate motherhood? What does it mean to be a mum in today's society and do these expectations and idealisms need an overhaul? How is motherhood different to parenthood? Have you ever felt intense loneliness, rage or even regret in your mothering journey? And who do you turn to to offload with brutal honesty, without fear of judgement? We hope this conversation helps to encourage more safe spaces for sharing - where we can lift the lid on motherhood and banish the romantic ideals. And as always, we hope you'll have permission to feel whatever you feel about your own precious and complex experience of being mum - love, hate and everything in between.

Join me @biglucook and my guests @jenwrensquirrel @hannahjayne_1990 and @jess_u_22 as we dive in.

TRIGGER WARNING: This conversation may not be for you if you're currently trying for a baby or if you're about to have your first. Be kind to yourself and give this one a miss for now.
