Many of us have a clear timeline regarding our careers, relationships and family. Although many of us know that life doesn’t always go according to our plans, it can still be hard when faced with life changing milestones that feel like they came about at an inconvenient time. Young motherhood can bring around a mixture of feelings like regret, excitement, confusion and joy, but it should never undermine the complex beauty of new life and growing our families. Navigating this can feel mentally, physically and spiritually complicated at times, but it can become more peaceful with the right support network around us. We are capable of pursuing our dreams regardless of when we have children and want this to be an encouragement to pregnant women, current mothers, and mothers who are heading back into employment.

How can we help destigmatise young pregnancy while learning to support those of us who are going through it and learn to embrace excitement on the journey of motherhood? Watch as our host Rachel Calland is joined by guests Yasmin Elizabeth-Mfon and Nicky Bamgbade in the Magnify Studio for Ep 26 The Stigma of Young Motherhood: Handling Biases & Rediscovering Lost Dreams.
