About this listen
In this episode of The Night Feed, I talk about the quiet loneliness of early motherhood, contact naps, phone guilt, and the mental load that so many mums carry silently.
We chat about being told “you’ve got your hands full,” a chaotic school-run pancake attempt, and how our expectations of how motherhood should look often set us up to feel like we’re failing.
I share listener messages about taking a social media detox and feeling the mental fog lift, leaning into contact naps without worrying about “bad habits,” and the frustration of never getting real time alone while being criticised for phone use.
We also talk about why loneliness is trending in the smartphone era, how being constantly connected can still leave us feeling isolated, and why real human connection matters more than ever in early motherhood.
This episode is for any mum feeling unseen, touched out, overwhelmed, or quietly lonely. You’re not doing it wrong. You’re not unreasonable. And you’re not alone.
