Summary
In this Q&A episode, we’re answering your questions… and nothing’s off limits. We talk honestly about whether we actually hate men (spoiler: no), taking holidays without our kids and the guilt that can come with it, and what it really looks like juggling self-employment with single motherhood. We open up about how becoming mums has changed us, not just in our lives, but in who we are as women. We also get into the bigger conversations… the manosphere, male allies, and where we think the balance actually sits. Alongside that, we share our real experiences of burnout, the pressures of childcare, and what it’s taken for us to start reclaiming our identity outside of being “mum”. This episode is raw, practical, and very us. We chat boundaries, support systems, and why flexibility and self-care aren’t luxuries… they’re essential. And as always, we want you involved. We’re already lining up future guests and we’ll definitely be doing more listener Q&As, so keep your questions coming.
