This week on Finding Your Pink, I’m joined by the brilliant Tracy Gunn for a raw and real conversation about the hidden weight so many women carry: the mental load. We talk about what it really means to be a working mother in today’s world—where you’re expected to work like you don’t have kids and parent like you don’t have a job.From late-night flights to early morning school runs, we unpack the impossible juggling act, the guilt that never seems to lift, and why 46% of women say the mental load is just too much. We dive into why so many women are stepping back from progression to protect their family time—and how the division of emotional labour between men and women still feels so unbalanced.Tracy shares honest insights on how to have those awkward, triggering conversations with your partner and how to define your own circle of control (shout out to Stephen Covey) and how Dolly Parton saves the day, every time. If you’ve ever felt like you’re holding it all together with invisible string, this one’s for you. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
In this deeply honest and emotional episode of Finding Your Pink, I sit down with Audrey Dore Geraghty, a mother navigating life with her profoundly autistic son.Audrey shares the unspoken reality—of violence, fear, love, and exhaustion. Her son is non-verbal, highly aggressive, and requires full-time care. Every day is unpredictable. The system is broken. And society often doesn’t see her family at all.She speaks candidly about the difference between profound autism and milder forms, the grief of lost expectations, and the isolation that comes from being unable to participate in everyday life.Audrey doesn’t sugarcoat her story. Her pink, as she says, isn’t coming back. But in sharing her truth, she gives voice to the thousands of parents living a version of this reality—with love, resilience, and relentless advocacy.This is an episode about the stories we don’t hear enough. About what it means to love fiercely, even when life feels unrecognisable.🎧 Listen now on Finding Your Pink Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Finding Your Pink is about all the moments in life where women lose themselves — and the bold, beautiful ways they find themselves again.Like flamingos, women can lose their vibrant pink when they’ve spent too long nurturing others, pouring into work, family, relationships, or simply surviving the demands of life. That colour — their joy, voice, identity — fades quietly in the background.This podcast is about getting it back.Hosted by broadcaster and author Emma Ledden, Finding Your Pink is a warm, honest space where women share the real stories behind reinvention, resilience, and rediscovery. Yes, motherhood is part of many of these journeys — but so is grief, career change, burnout, passion, confidence, and the quiet moments no one sees.Each episode invites you into a conversation with a woman who’s navigated something real — and come out the other side more herself than ever.Tune in every 2 weeks for empowering conversations to help you to find your pink again.
