75. I thought I had a village… until I really needed one

This episode explores a moment many mums experience but rarely talk about, the realisation that in certain moments, you are completely on your own.

After a chaotic IKEA run, Nat found herself overwhelmed, stuck, and unable to see a solution. What followed was a deeper recognition of something many mothers feel, the gap between having support and actually being able to access it.

If you’ve ever thought “how am I supposed to do all of this on my own?”, this one will feel very familiar.
