Love for Life Podcast
The podcast for modern couples who want real connection that lasts.
Hosted by relationship and family coach Nichole Farrow and her husband Ben, this show is for couples trying to stay close while raising kids, building careers, and handling the stress of everyday life. Each week, they unpack the real issues behind modern relationships—intimacy, emotional connection, mental load, conflict, communication, and the quiet resentments no one talks about.
With a mix of expert insight and raw honesty, Nichole and Ben give you practical tools to strengthen your relationship, raise emotionally secure kids, and create a life you both actually want. Because working on your relationship isn’t just for when things go wrong—it’s a lifestyle choice that impacts everything. Research shows couples who invest in their connection are 6x more successful and live 4 years longer.
If you’re ready to break generational cycles, ditch the surface-level advice, and do the real work of love—this is your podcast.

#94: Motherhood Is Harder Today Than Previous Generations
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Modern motherhood looks nothing like it did for our own mothers, and not always in the ways we were promised. Mums today spend more time with their children than any generation before them, have endless information at their fingertips and are more visible than ever, so why does matrescence feel heavier and lonelier than it has ever been? In this panel episode, Nichole is joined by Alex, a former TV news journalist, and Geri Mihaylova, founder of Tunbridge Wells Mums, to pull back the polished curtain on what it actually takes to raise children in 2026.
This is an honest, no sugar coating, no rose tint conversation about mum burnout, the quiet losses of postnatal identity, the village that nobody inherits anymore, and the working mum reality that keeps pushing brilliant women out of careers they loved. We get into raising sensitive boys, what maternal mental health really looks like once the newborn bubble pops, and the lie every mum tells when someone asks if she is okay. If you have ever whispered "I am fine" when you are very much not, this one is for you.
