In this episode of Her Guide, we welcome back Dr Frances Knight, General Practitioner and women's health advocate - to explore how mothers can navigate mental health conditions and neurodiversity throughout the journey of motherhood. We discuss the unique challenges faced by women living with conditions such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, and autism, and how these can shape the experience of pregnancy, birth, and early parenting. Frances shares practical advice on recognising your own needs, seeking support, and approaching motherhood with self-awareness and compassion. A thoughtful and empowering conversation that reminds mothers support is available at every stage.
