Fed, grown and on my own

Apologies for the poor sound quality on Anisa's end... we blame the grated cheese. In this episode we talk about the joys of 'Mum guilt'; something we all as mothers experience at some point. From toddler tantrums to returning to work (or not) after having a baby and navigating the balance between family and in-laws, we have a chat about some of the stories and questions you sent in on instagram - it seems that we're all in the pit of guilt together! Featuring a special appearance at the end from our tech team AKA Amal and Usmaan.

Happy Mother's Day! Motherhood is the most incredible journey we can ever go through, and even if we go into it with our eyes wide open, having read all the books, nothing can prepare us for what is really about to happen! In this episode we chat about the things we wish we had known about motherhood before becoming Mums and compare our experiences. Trigger Warning: themes of maternal mental health and challenges with breastfeeding. If you'd like to get in touch with us to share your stories or ask any questions, please email mamahoneymakes@gmail.com Instagram: @mamahoneymakes and @diversityplus_ Featuring a very special little giggle at the end from the tiniest member of our girl gang! 

Welcome to our first episode! We have a mini chat about International Women's Day by exploring gender bias and share what we are choosing to challenge for equality. *Full disclosure: Parts of this episode have been re-recorded due to nervous laughter, the dreaded mum-brain related long pause and the effects of zero socialisation for over a year.

Fed, grown and on my own was created by Scottish-Pakistani mother-daughter duo Anisa and Naeema. Naeema fed and grew Anisa, and even though she’s flown the nest she won’t leave her alone, now with a grandchild in tow. They chat about everything and anything, comparing notes from then and now on parenting, mental health, equality, cultural barriers and everything in between. Grab a cuppa, sit down for some giggles and share some ‘it’s not just me’ lightbulb moments.
