Have you ever looked around at baby groups, milestone charts, or social media and wondered why everyone else seems to have parenting figured out while you’re just making it up as you go? 🫶

The "perfect mum" doesn't exist, so why do we put so much pressure on ourselves to have it all together?

In Episode 2 of Series 2, hosts Jess and Grace are joined by mums Ellie and Talisa for an honest and deeply reassuring chat about the invisible standards of motherhood, and the exhausting pressure to appear completely capable.

If you’ve ever avoided a baby group, stayed up at 3 a.m. feeling like you're failing, or caught yourself comparing your messy reality to someone else’s polished online highlight reel... you are in the right place.
