Send us a text

We celebrate mums as the unseen infrastructure of family life while calling out the policies and pressures that make motherhood harder than it should be. Stories from our community, data on UK parental leave and a look at Nordic models lead to practical ways to rebuild the village.

• recognising the invisible micro tasks and emotional load
• how social media, isolation and work pressure erode confidence
• the cost of childcare and early return to work
• maternal mental health, co‑regulation and bonding
• why the village broke and how to rebuild local support
• Nordic parental leave models vs UK policy gaps
• practical steps to ask for and offer help
• community fitness and safe spaces for mums to reconnect
