We should be mothering amongst the stories of motherhood - its complexities, joys and challenges. We should have been supported and mentored through it, with the knowledge being passed down from generation to generation. But today we mother largely in isolation, away from our families, friends and communities. It was never meant to be this way. Without all of this we lack the reference to make sense of our own experiences and the language to express how we are feeling. It leaves mothers feeling disconnected, lost and believing there is something wrong with them. 'You've had a baby not a lobotomy' is a podcast lifting the lid on motherhood, bringing you real, raw and honest stories from real mothers - with no experts or gurus. It challenges the damaging modern narrative of the perfect mother and celebrates mothers thriving in modern motherhood, doing it their own, damn way!
