I stopped recording. Stopped showing up. Stopped pretending I could do it all.
Real Mummy went quiet — not because the podcast failed, but because I was falling apart trying to keep it going. Hour-long episodes while raising kids while holding everything together? Something had to break. And it did.
This is the episode where I tell you what really happened. The burnout. The guilt of quitting something I loved. The 2am doubts about whether I should come back at all. And the moment everything shifted.
Season 2 is here — but it's not the same show. It's shorter. It's sharper. And it's the most honest I've ever been. Because admitting you can't do it all? That might be the most real mummy move there is.
If you've ever stepped back from something and wondered if you were allowed to try again — press play. This one's for you.
I went quiet for a while. And I owe you the truth about why.
This isn't a polished comeback episode. There's no big rebrand or exciting announcement. It's just me, being honest about what's been going on behind the scenes. The stuff I wasn't ready to say out loud. Until now.
If you wondered where I went — this one's for you.
Press play. I've missed you.
