Mother Tongue
Hello and welcome back to Mother Tongue! A podcast and social media community bringing together mums from around the world to connect over their experiences of motherhood.
Now boasting a successful website, audiobook and strong social following, it all started with a podcast in 2020. A British expat living in the UAE, I started the brand all over a coffee with friends sat at her house, discussing the trials and tribulations of being a mum. The idea was to provide companionship for a generation of new mothers who are expected to do it all.
With the help of the many experts and mothers I have spoken to over the last three years, we have taken listeners along on our own journey into motherhood and beyond.
Now heading into its 13th season, Mother Tongue continues to grow and help women around the world.
Thanks for tuning in!

Finding Purpose in Motherhood and Beyond with Steph Elswood
Today’s guest is a powerhouse in every sense of the word — someone who’s made wellness, self-love, and conscious living her mission, and who continues to inspire a community of women by showing up with honesty, heart and humour.
Steph Elswood is a content creator, entrepreneur, sober living advocate, and now — a new mum. She’s the founder of CAROUSE, a non-alcoholic spirit brand redefining the social drinking scene, the brains behind Sasstainable, her eco-conscious lifestyle brand, and the co-founder of Dry Disco, the UK’s leading sober events company. She’s also the founder of Stay Sassy, a female empowerment and dance movement that’s helped thousands of women reconnect with their confidence through dance.
Steph has always shared her life with vulnerability and strength — from body confidence and sobriety to plant-based living and mental health — and now she’s taking us on her journey into motherhood. Today we’re diving into her pregnancy, birth experience, postpartum realness, and how she’s navigating life as a mum while staying grounded in her values.
