Have you experienced the pressures of “bounce back” culture and felt the weight of impossible standards that mothers are expected to live up to?

From toxic mummy blogger trends that poke fun at the messy realities of early parenthood, to the highly curated content that makes “relatable” look effortless, pop culture and social media has played a big role in shaping what mothers think they should look and feel like after birth.

But there’s a shift happening. More influencers and public figures are choosing to share their unfiltered experiences, challenging the myths and reminding us that real motherhood is never picture-perfect.

In this episode of No Place Like Homb, we explore how these messages impact mothers and how embracing honesty over perfection can help create a more supportive, compassionate narrative around motherhood and postpartum recovery.
