In this episode of Finding the U in Mum, Christine sits down with Paulina Laskowska — an interior designer turned digital marketer — to talk honestly about identity, motherhood, and the quiet guilt so many mums carry.

Paulina shares her journey from career woman to mother, navigating pregnancy, relocating from the UK to Australia without family support, and learning (the hard way) that self-care isn’t selfish — it’s essential.

This is a thoughtful, reassuring conversation about letting go of perfection, leaning into community, and remembering that taking time for yourself can make you a better mum, not a worse one.

🎧 Finding the You in Mum is hosted by Christine Bagley-Jones, psychologist, author, and long-time ABC Radio contributor. Each episode explores the messy, beautiful intersections of identity, motherhood, and mental health.
