- ROB KENNEY: How Fatherhood Changed Me
Rob Kenney didn’t have a dad growing up, so he became one for millions of strangers on the internet.
What started as a simple YouTube channel sharing life skills quickly grew into something more. Dad, How Do I? is like an antidote to the usual tough-guy stuff online; practical advice with kindness at its core.
In this episode, Rob opens up about his own journey, the father he’s chosen to be, and why showing up, even when you don’t have all the answers, is what parenting today really demands.
Check out Rob’s Youtube channel.

48 min - No dusty sons with PAYAL DESAI
What does it mean to raise boys who care? Who contribute at home, take responsibility and grow into good men... not just “not bad” ones?
In this episode of How Motherhood Changed Me, we’re joined by Payal Desai (@payalforstyle), the voice behind the viral “No Dusty Sons” series, for a powerful conversation about parenting boys in a culture that often fails them, and everyone around them.
A former teacher and mum of two, Payal talks to us about conscious parenting, gender roles, emotional awareness, and how we can all do better, even if we weren’t raised this way ourselves.
Whether you’re raising sons or just thinking about the kind of world you want to help shape, this one will leave you reflecting.

58 min - BEC MORSE: when life doesn’t go to plan
Rebecca Morse was in her mid-20s, chasing career dreams in TV journalism, when life took an unexpected turn. She found out she was pregnant.
In this episode of How Motherhood Changed Me, Bec shares what it was like to step into motherhood earlier than planned, how she navigated the shift while still holding onto her ambition, and what it meant to grow up fast.
We talk about identity, sacrifice, and the messiness of trying to do both: raising three daughters and continuing to show up for your career. Now, with one of those daughters stepping into adulthood (and even podcasting with her mum), Bec reflects on how far they’ve come and how motherhood continues to shape her.

51 min - We need to talk about gender disappointment
In this episode of How Motherhood Changed Me, Jenna opens up about something many mothers feel but don’t say out loud: gender disappointment. She shares her experience of grieving the daughter she once imagined, and the guilt and shame that followed.
Kerrie reads a poem Jenna wrote at the time she found out her third baby was also a boy, capturing the thoughts and emotions she didn’t know how to express. Together, they explore what might be behind these complicated feelings and hope that anyone quietly carrying similar thoughts feels a little more seen, and a little less alone after listening.

19 min - I quit my 'real job' for motherhood
Becoming a mum shifts the way we see ourselves, especially when it comes to work. For some, it’s a gradual realignment of priorities. For others, it brings big, confronting questions about identity, ambition, and what’s truly sustainable in this season of life.
In this episode of How Motherhood Changed Me, we chat with Gretchen Scalora, a mum of four who made the decision to leave a high-profile job - one she had once believed defined who she was - to become a “full-time mum.”
We talk about what led to that choice, the space it’s created, and how stepping away from paid work (while not an option for everyone) allowed her to reimagine what success and fulfilment could look like.
If you’ve ever felt caught between career and caregiving, or wondered who you are beyond your job title, this conversation offers a grounded and thoughtful look at one mother’s experience.

53 min - The Mothers Who Made Us
In this deeply personal episode, we sit down with our own beautiful mums, Leanne and Julie, to reflect on the women they were before motherhood, the journey of raising us, and the legacy of love, sacrifice, and identity that lives on in our families today.
From the early days of nappies and night feeds to their honest reflections on watching us become mothers, this conversation is full of emotion, memory, vulnerability… and the kind of insight only a mum can offer.
We talk matrescence, generational shifts, quiet sacrifices, and the wisdom they've carried, often silently, for decades.
It’s tender. It’s raw. It’s the story behind the stories we tell.

9 min - Be the mother your inner child needs
Have you ever found yourself reacting in motherhood in ways that surprise you… snapping, people-pleasing, or feeling like a child all over again? You’re not alone, and there’s often a deeper reason behind it.
