Alex Bollen is many things: a researcher, a postnatal practitioner, author of Motherdom: Breaking Free of Bad Science and Good Mother Myths and Adina’s neighbour. As three motherless mothers, they explore how grief reshapes motherhood, how cultural narratives fail women, and why community matters more than perfection. Drawing on research, postnatal work, and lived experience, Alex offers insight into what truly supports mothers, especially those doing it without their own. We know you'll enjoy this one! We sure did!

In this episode, Adina and Lou are joined by licensed marriage and family therapist and community member Steph Bayan. As a motherless mother herself, Steph speaks to the layered identity shifts that happen when you become a mother without your own mum. Together, they explore how grief reshapes who we are, how it shows up in everyday parenting moments, and why community and shared ritual can be so healing. This is a conversation about loss, transformation, and learning to mother while carrying absence.

Helen also shares what to expect from our drop-ins and how community healing complements one-to-one therapy.

Claire is a mum-of-three and became motherless on New Year’s Eve. She lost the mum she always knew and became her carer overnight - a role reversal no one can quite prepare you for, especially when 12-weeks pregnant. We sit down and talk campaigning, teen parenting and changing your whole career so you can pour your grief into something you love everyday. Claire says, "Now I'm a therapist specialising in grief and bereavement, and my work continues to be influenced by my mum every single day. Being a mother without a mother is a journey I’m still on, sometimes strong, sometimes messy, always shaped by love and absence in equal measure."

Love,

Adina & Lou

Dave and Steph are married. Before that, they were boyfriend and girlfriend. Before that, they were friends who came together in COVID times to support one another. A love story just like the fairytales. But what people don't see is Steph and Dave's heartbreak at grieving Steph's mum (Janet) after a sudden illness, both as individuals and a couple. All while navigating life as newlyweds and growing their family. What is Dave's take on supporting a motherless mother? How is Steph's mum's presence felt through his eyes? What has their relationship looked like pre and post Janet’ss death? The partners who support us to keep going, but also the partners who are grieving too. Dave and Steph bear all in this honest, emotional chat about love, loss and heartbreak through the years. 

We hope you enjoy this episode!

Lots of love,

Lou & Adina
