    Ep46: Grief Without Closure with Ashton

    19/03/2026 | 44 mins.
    *Trigger warning – this episode talks about suicide.
    Some losses leave us with stories. Others leave us with silence. In this episode, we're joined by Ashton about becoming a motherless mum through suicide and what it means to mother while carrying grief that doesn’t resolve neatly. Together they reflect on survival, community, and finding meaning through service and connection.

    12/03/2026 | 1h 6 mins.
    Health anxiety isn’t something you’re taught to deal with as a first-time mum. But after Sophie became a mum in 2023, three years after her mum died, she finds herself confronting a relationship with health worries. What does this look like? When did it start? Why is it so difficult to live with? Sophie bears all in this honest chat about toddler mumming without her.  We know you'll enjoy this one.

    Ep44:An Island on Its Own: Megan’s Take on Motherhood When Your Mum is Gone

    05/03/2026 | 50 mins.
    When Megan first got in touch, we genuinely got chills after reading her email. Honest, raw and had a way of describing motherhood we’d never heard before - “We can see our friends and family on their islands, they’re waving and asking how we are, but they can’t quite reach us. And I can see them on their islands, with connecting bridges to their Mums’ islands. So while we are loved by many, it’s just not the same.” We delve into life without her mum around, and why our island will never be quite the same as anyone else’s.

    Ep43: Sydney and her Mum Michelle: An Unbreakable Bond

    26/02/2026 | 53 mins.
    Sydney lost her mum to cancer three years ago and is now navigating motherhood with her little girl while carrying the weight of that loss. A dedicated volunteer for TMM, she bravely spoke out on Mother Loss Awareness Day about being denied mental health services because her grief wasn’t seen as “severe enough”, and therefore, she didn’t meet the threshold. In this episode, Sydney shares her experience of grieving as a daughter and mother, advocating for better support, and finding connection through her loss.
