Mum Talk is back and this week Emma is getting straight into it. After a few years away, she's back in your ears talking about the thing that's been dominating her world lately, overwhelm. Not the polished version. The real one. The shutting down, the vacant stare, the not being able to be present with your kids even though being present is the whole reason you made the choices you made.Emma shares her honest toolkit for managing overwhelm right now, from morning movement and grounding practices to magnesium butter, her sleep routine, and the app she's been quietly building to get the invisible load out of her head and onto something she can actually manage.She also talks about launching a small tech startup while relaunching a podcast, juggling a poorly child, Easter holidays approaching, and the very specific loneliness of struggling in silence while putting your face on for everyone else.Real, honest, zero fluff. Exactly what Mum Talk has always been.Next week: screen time, the new guidance, what it actual

Motherhood changes you as a person, physically and mentally, it seems (from personal experience)to give you the most incredible sense of purpose, self-worth and strength you didn’t know you had, whilst simultaneously leading you to question your ‘self’ and more or less everything you have ever known.
