In this episode, I take you behind the scenes of a street campaign I carried out in Bristol, where I stopped mothers in public space and asked one simple, unexpected question:

“What would you say to another mum who feels she’s lost herself?”

This episode isn’t about solutions.

It’s about the moment itself.

I share:

• Why I felt called to take this question into public space

• The deeply personal experience that first made me aware of how invisible motherhood can feel

• What it was like to stand on the street and ask this question — and what happened before the answers came

• The pause, the silence, and the visible shift in breath, eyes, and body when mothers were asked something they didn’t expect

• Three simple observations I noticed across conversations — without analysing or explaining what they mean

• How this experience shifted my own instinct to move quickly into meaning-making, and why I’m choosing witnessing over explaining for now

This was a pilot campaign, not a finished project.

And this episode reflects the position I’m standing in right now: a witness who is beginning to notice patterns, but choosing to stay close to the human moment rather than rush into conclusions.

At the end of the episode, I invite you to sit with the same question yourself — not for me, not for the project, but for what happens in you when you hear it.

This episode is for you if you’re craving something slower, more human, and more spacious — and if you know the feeling of disappearing in motherhood, even when everything looks “fine” from the outside.
