Description
You’ve kept quiet long enough. This is your invitation to get loud.
Speak, Mother is the podcast for women who feel buried under the weight of modern motherhood—and are finally ready to reclaim their voice.
Hosted by Shannon Warner, podcast producer and founder of Resonant Collective, this show gets real about why motherhood feels so damn hard—from invisible labor and mom guilt to systemic pressure and emotional burnout.
Whether you're a stay-at-home mom drowning in mental load or a working mom juggling deadlines and daycare pickups, you’ll find validation, truth-telling, and sanity-saving support here.
Through unfiltered solo episodes, intimate interviews, and voice-first storytelling, we’ll spill the tea on the systems that silence women—and explore what it means to come home to yourself after kids.
You’re not broken. You’re waking up.
Speak, Mother.
