Imagine losing your mum just four weeks before becoming a mum yourself. This was the reality for today’s guest Leoni Hess, and when she wrote to us as a longtime listener, we knew we had to share her story. Not only did she have to navigate this duality of life coming and life going and what that would mean for the start of her motherhood journey, but she also had to handle death admin, working, travelling between states, and preparing for parental leave, too. 

Here, we talk about the pressure of being the glue that holds a family together, why she – despite adoring her in-laws – found it difficult to have her mother in law around her new baby when her own mum couldn’t be there, and what it’s been like learning how to be a mother without her own.

When Fatuma and Laurinda Ndenzako from Collective Closets arrived at the studio, there was one word that immediately came to mind: icons. And as soon as you begin to listen, we think you’ll agree.

Today, we cover so much – two incredibly different fertility journeys, what it’s like to be in business with your sister, what they learned from their mum, why it felt like they had more to prove as women of colour in the fashion world, and why you don’t always want to go to your kids’ basketball training when work is exciting.

Welcome back to Witching Hour – the show where two mums and sort of cousins figure out how to make work, work. Today on the show:

• Are children worth it? The debate around whether or not to have children seems never-ending and a woman on Tik Tok says having children is only worth It if you have these three things.
• And we talk a lot about what we lose in motherhood, but what do we gain? Hermione Olivia, founder of motivational mindset brand CEO YOURSELF, put up a reel that got us thinking a lot about the gains.

Imagine this: you’re four months postpartum with your second baby, you run a thriving business (so the word maternity leave doesn’t mean a whole lot to you) and then, to your surprise, just as you’re coming out of that early postpartum haze, you become pregnant with your third baby. That second and third baby won’t be two under two, that’s two babies within 13 months. 

This is what happened to Lib Carter, the brains behind Hutton House, and when I heard her story, I knew I had to get her into the studio to hear all about it.

This is an absolute hoot of a conversation. And if you need something uplifting, you’ve come to the right place. So let’s hear from Lib.
