Episode Description

I took a photo at a birthday party. Didn't think twice. Then I got a message from another mum and my stomach dropped. Every family now has different photo rules. Every school event has a reminder about what you can and can't share. Every friend has a different line. And you don't always know where that line is until you've crossed it. I crossed it. In this episode I'm talking about what happened, what I do differently now, and the one question I started asking my seven-year-old that changed everything. No judgement. No right answers. Just the stuff most mums are thinking but not saying out loud. If you've ever hesitated before hitting post — this one's for you.
