Helen and Sam chat with Sophie about Motherhood; the journey from birth through maternity and into the first years of mum life. They dissect an article written by Eliane Glaser (‘Parent trap: why the cult of the perfect mother has to end’) exploring many topics including expectations, parenting in a pandemic, support, social media and what we can do to create change to improve family life.
