In this episode of The Mother Side, we're diving into the raw, relatable reality of modern motherhood – the stuff that doesn't make the highlight reel.

First up, why don’t mums get a sick day? We're expected to power through, tissues in one hand, toddler in the other but why is that the norm, and what toll does it take?

Next, we tackle the Everest that is laundry, when the washing pile starts to feel like it needs its own postcode, and you're not sure if you're a parent or a part-time laundromat operator.

Then, it gets real: why do we feel so angry with our kids sometimes? We unpack the guilt, the triggers, and the impossible standards we hold ourselves to.

And in this week’s hot take, I get into the rising pressure around kids' birthday parties... from Pinterest-worthy setups to budget-blowing bashes. When did celebrating your child become a competitive sport, and why are parents made to feel like failures if they don't go all out?

It’s honest, unfiltered, and full of unspoken truths. Submit your dilemma anonymously here....

Season 2 is here and we’re doing things differently.

In this first episode, I dive into three real mum dilemmas from hiding in the bathroom, to trying to find ways to cope with health anxiety.

I also drop a hot take that might hit a nerve:

Is mum guilt actually just burnout in disguise?

It’s raw, it’s real, and it’s the start of something bigger for The Mother Side.
