Mother Tongue
Mother Tongue is a podcast about modern motherhood - the ambition, the identity shifts, the invisible load, and the quiet recalibrations that happen behind the scenes.
I’m Maryanne. I’m a mum of three, a founder, and someone who has spent most of her adult life building businesses while raising a family, often at the same time, usually a little exhausted, and always learning as I go. This podcast is where I have the conversations I wish I’d heard earlier - the honest ones about work, money, ambition, relationships, burnout, confidence, health, and what it really means to build a life alongside motherhood, not in spite of it.
Each episode features thoughtful, open conversations with founders, creatives, doctors, experts and women navigating big lives in real time. We talk about the things that don’t always make it into neat soundbites - the trade-offs, the doubts, the moments of clarity, and the decisions that quietly change everything.
Mother Tongue isn’t about doing more or getting it perfect. It’s about feeling less alone, better informed, and more grounded in the choices you’re making - whether you’re building a business, raising children, starting again, or simply trying to make sense of the season you’re in.
New episodes weekly.
Listen in, wherever you are.

NICU with Dr Frankie Harrison, AKA Miracle Moon
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Today we have the pleasure of speaking to a clinical psychologist who has been supporting mental health and wellbeing for over 13 years, with a passion in supporting parents, especially those who have been through neonatal care.
A HCPC registered practitioner psychologist, Dr Frankie Harrison, also known as Miracle Moon on instagram, currently specialise in supporting NICU parents, past, present and future. This came about, after her son was prematurely due to preeclampsia at 31 weeks and him needing medical support on a neonatal ward.
Since this time, she has decided to use her skills as a clinical psychologist to support other parents in a similar situation.
