Everyday Parenting, Mental Health, and Giving Ourselves a Break

This week on Parent Unplugged, I sat down with psychotherapist, author and mum of three — Anna Mathur — for the kind of honest, comforting chat every parent needs in their ears.

We talked about the messy middle of motherhood — the mental load, the guilt, the pressure to be calm, and why making mistakes might be the most human (and helpful) thing we do.

In this episode we cover:

⭐️ How to actually be kind to yourself when things go sideways

⭐️ The myth of the “perfect parent” — and how to let it go

⭐️ What Anna does when she’s about to snap

⭐️ Why you don’t need to be calm to be a good mum

⭐️ The quiet cost of trying to hold it all together

⭐️ What rest really looks like in a busy family life

If you’ve ever felt like you’re quietly failing behind the scenes… this one’s for you.
