Description

Is it possible to authentically share the reality of being a mum, online?

Hannah is joined by comedian and mum of two, Rhiannon Down, to compare algorithms and their fraught relationships with mumfluencer content.

Whether it's mums in spotless kitchens showing off their meticulously organised nappy bags or chaotic scenes interspersed with skincare routines and over the top parties, finding accurate and relatable depictions of motherhood online can be a challenge.

Hannah and Rhi also delve into their favourite fictional depictions of motherhood that have captured something true about the postpartum experience.
