The Mothers’ Hood Podcast
Tune in to raw and honest conversations about motherhood, identity, and the messy beauty of it all.
These are the stories we should have heard growing up, as we navigated pregnancy and motherhood - the real, unfiltered truths of the journey.
Yet, we live in a world where mothers often find themselves isolated, navigating the ups and downs of parenting alone.
Without hearing others' stories, we lack the reference to make sense of our own experiences and the language to express what we're feeling. This leaves many mothers feeling disconnected, lost and questioning if something is wrong with them.
This is the good, the bad, and the ugly of motherhood. This is motherhood in all its complexity.
No highlight reels. No experts or gurus – just real women, sharing real stories. We're in this together.

1 - From Rage & Anger to a Calm & Centred Motherhood with Alison Ryan
The very first episode of the Mothers’ Hood Podcast explores the taboo topic of rage and anger in motherhood with Alison Ryan.
Alison shares her experience of the overwhelming rage she felt after having her second daughter. This is a topic that is rarely discussed or acknowledged and is shrouded in so much shame and guilt.
We discuss:
How the rage and anger manifested and the self-judgment she had in feeling this way
Alison’s breaking point, resulting in smashing plates in the sink, and how this was a key moment for her to recognise that she was not ok
The steps she took to start feeling calmer and to reset how she feels about motherhood and herself
Alison provides some great tangible examples of the ways she takes care of her own needs today.
Breaking the silence on this normal, human emotion, is the first step in helping mothers know that they are not failing motherhood or a bad mother for feeling this way.
