Lessons From Our Mothers

Mishal Husain: “She really liberated me - she said, your life is completely different from mine, you've got to pursue the talents God's given you”

🌸This week, Cressida Bonas and Isabella Branson are joined by award-winning journalist, broadcaster, and author Mishal Husain. Known for her work with the BBC and now Bloomberg, Mishal reflects on the powerful lessons she learned from her mother - and how those lessons have shaped both her journalism and her approach to motherhood.

📚Mishal also shares the inspiration behind her book, Broken Threads, which traces the lives of her four grandparents as they migrated to the newly formed Pakistan in the 1940s. 

🌸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 102 year old listener Peter, who shares some of the most valuable lessons he’s taken from his mum!
