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!

Today’s episode is for every sleep-deprived parent out there—the ones googling baby sleep tips at 3am, wondering if they'll ever feel rested again. We’re diving deep into the realities of sleep struggles, not just for little ones, but for the parents too—especially mums who are juggling recovery, feeding, work, and everything in between.
Joining us is Dr Ellie Danaher, a Consultant Paediatrician at Mediclinic Middle East—and also a mum herself. With years of medical expertise and firsthand experience in the trenches of parenting, Dr Ellie brings both professional insight and real-life empathy to the conversation.
From understanding what’s normal in baby and toddler sleep, to recognising when to ask for help, and finding ways to protect your own mental health—we cover it all. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, burnt out, or just totally shattered, this one’s for you.
