India Rakusen: The surprising truths about motherhood uncovered making BBC’s ‘Child’


Listen Later

🌸This week Cressida and Isabella are joined by journalist, documentary producer, presenter and award-winning podcaster India Rakusen.

🌸India shares some of the fascinating insights she uncovered while making the second series of the BBC podcast Child - from the extraordinary complexity of toddler brains to understanding big emotions and unpacking the idea of “unconditional love”. India also reflects on her own early experiences and how they shaped her approach to storytelling. She also touches on how becoming a mother herself has transformed her perspective.

🌸Join Cressida Bonas and Isabella Branson as they explore how maternal figures have shaped the lives of their guests. Each episode delves into the valuable lessons they’ve carried forward, those they’ve left behind, and the profound impact their maternal figures have had throughout their lives. 

💬 Plus, hear from listener Fabiana, who shares some of the most valuable lessons she’s taken from her mum!
