Big Mum Energy

The Myth of the Good Mum


Listen Later

This week on Big Mum Energy, Ali is going full truth-bomb mode and ripping up the invisible rulebook of what makes a “good mum.” You know the one organic snacks, screen-time limits, and that weird pressure to enjoy every second even when you’re fishing a Lego out of your foot and crying in the pantry.

In this brutally honest (but funny AF) episode, we dive into:

  • Why the idea of the perfect mum is absolute BS and rooted in guilt, comparison, and invisible labour
  • Real talk on mum burnout, mental load, and why “just ask for help” is the most useless advice on the planet
  • Stories from Ali’s own parenting chaos, the good, the gross, and the accidentally inspirational
  • And a permission slip to be a real mum, not a perfect one, one mismatched sock and wine-stained tee at a time
Expect:
  • Laughs, swears, and deep sighs of relief
  • Honest convos about mum guilt and impossible expectations
  • A celebration of doing your best — even when your best looks like frozen nuggets and forgetting the reader folder (again)
