Podcasts by Bringing Up Mum
Should I follow traditional confinement practices? Which school should I send my kids to? How do I navigate work and family without burning out? Mothers: for a group that is so glorified, we're also exhausted, lonely and left out of the conversation. This podcast is a platform for mums to have discussions around things that matter to them. Postpartum care, mental health, education and the idea of 'the good mother' are some of the topics we cover in this season. We also look at some of the tensions we face as culture, faith and circumstances impact on the decisions we make for our families.
