Mums Figuring It Out
Mums Figuring It Out is a podcast built on honest, heartfelt conversations about motherhood, identity, growth and the realities of life in between.
Hosted by Jo Alexis and Dr Roxanne M St Clair, the podcast creates space for the conversations many women are already having privately balancing family, careers, relationships, wellbeing, purpose, leadership, change and rediscovering who you are as life evolves.
With warmth, humour, vulnerability and real life reflections, Mums Figuring It Out reminds women that they do not need to have everything perfectly together to keep growing.
Because the truth is… we are all still figuring it out.

Mother’s Day is one of the most widely celebrated days in the world, but how much do we really know about where it came from?
In this special Mother’s Day episode of Mums Figuring It Out, we take a heartfelt and fascinating look at the origins of Mother’s Day in both the United States and the U.K. From the early traditions of Mothering Sunday in Britain to the determined campaign of Anna Jarvis in America, the story behind the day is far more meaningful than cards and flowers.
Join us as we explore:
• The history of Mothering Sunday in the UK
• How Mother’s Day began in the United States
• What the celebration really represents:
- Gratitude
- Care
- Sacrifice
- Love
Along the way, we reflect on what motherhood feels like today and why taking time to honour the women who nurture, guide, and support us remains so important.
Whether you’re a mum, have a mum, or are remembering one, this episode offers a thoughtful moment to pause, reflect, and celebrate the profound impact mothers have across generations.
Enjoy!
