This week on Mum’s The Word, Georgia Jones is joined by psychotherapist and bestselling author Anna Mathur for an honest, compassionate conversation every mum needs to hear.

Anna opens up about how motherhood revealed her hidden perfectionism, the challenge of asking for support, and the inner voice that so often leans toward self-criticism.

They dive into the emotional load mums carry, why it’s so hard to be kind to ourselves, and the power of vulnerability when things feel too much.

Plus, Anna shares the inspiration behind her brand-new book, The Good Decision Diary, and how it can help you tune into your inner wisdom - even in the chaos of parenting.

Raw, reassuring and refreshingly real, this one’s for any mum who’s ever felt like they’re not enough.
