It's A Circus - Unfiltered stories of motherhood, identity, and the art of self care
Unfiltered stories of motherhood, identity, and the art of self-care.
Hosted by Elsa Marit, It’s a Circus pulls back the curtain on the beautiful chaos of parenting. Through raw conversations with mothers, entrepreneurs, and women of all walks, the show explores what it really means to raise kids while holding onto yourself.
Each episode is part confession, part community — reminding you that you’re not alone in the madness. From the heartbreak and humor of matrescence to the little rituals that keep us sane, this podcast is equal parts relatable, vulnerable, and empowering.
✨ Motherhood may be a circus, but here you’ll find clarity, connection, and the confidence to step back into your own spotlight.

Host Elsa kicks off season five with a solo episode celebrating nearly one year since launching the podcast and reflecting on recurring themes from past interviews and her own transformation. She shares key learnings: the critical importance of advocating for yourself in medical, parenting, and relationship situations; recognizing that women and mothers are more alike than different; the harm of mothering in isolation and the need to find community; how asking for help is an essential “unlock” rather than a weakness; and practicing surrender and self-trust to navigate difficult seasons without slipping into victimhood. Elsa emphasizes the power of unfiltered storytelling to reduce shame and guilt, reminds listeners their stories matter, previews upcoming interview episodes, invites listeners to share the show, and mentions opening an in-person studio and building a supportive space for women in transition.
