Description
Discover a safe space for mothers where the challenges and triumphs of motherhood are explored with depth and understanding.
Rose Harvey and Indigo Melrose, both seasoned psychotherapists and mothers, warmly invite you to join them in candid conversations that go beyond the conventional narratives of motherhood.

Pour yourself a cup of hot cocoa or a glass of wine and immerse yourself in intimate, vulnerable, and occasionally challenging discussions about the genuine experiences of motherhood. These conversations are more than just storytelling; they form a collective exploration of the tough, confronting, and sometimes overwhelming aspects of parenting.
Find your comfortable spot, settle in, and join Indigo and Rose as they navigate the authenticity of motherhood, enriched with insights from experts around the world.
