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!

The Psychology of Motherhood: Understanding Matrescence and Identity Shifts with Jessie Harrold
Today we are speaking about a topic I have never touched upon - matrescence - with a wonderful woman who is a coach, author, doula, and the founder of MotherSHIFT and The Becoming Podcast.
She has dedicated her work to guiding women through life’s biggest transitions—especially matrescence, motherhood, and personal reinvention. With over a decade of experience supporting women in navigating these profound shifts, she brings a unique blend of research, storytelling, and deep wisdom to the conversation.
Her work is all about honoring the messy, beautiful, and sacred transformation of becoming—not just a mother, but a new version of yourself. Through her writing, coaching, and community-building, she is helping women embrace change with more confidence, self-compassion, and connection. We are so incredibly excited to welcome Jessie Harrold to MT.
