Feeling Rubbish Postpartum, Mum Hacks That Actually Help & Why We’re All Doing Better Than We Think Oct 08, 2025

Show notes

Welcome back to The Night Feed; your late-night companion for the chaos, comfort, and confessions of new motherhood.

In this episode, I dive into the realities of postpartum life: the messy, unfiltered kind that no one talks about enough.

The Party Embarrassment Story: A little cringe - we’ve all had those mum moments we wish we could rewind.
When You Just Feel Rubbish: A heartfelt email from a listener, five months postpartum, wondering how to feel like herself again while still breastfeeding and running on fumes.
Modern Motherhood vs “Back in the Day”: Why our grandmothers could “do it all,” and why it’s so different for us now. From two-income households to paid childcare and the invisible weight of mental load: I unpack why it feels harder even when “life is easier.”
Real Mum Hacks: From phone-free parenting hours to hilarious quick fixes (like running to the loo during baby’s play-mat time).
The True Cheat Code: A sense of humour
What’s Trending: “No stage of parenthood is forever and that’s both a relief and a heartbreak.” A reminder to hold on gently, because everything (even the sleepless nights) eventually changes.

Whether you’re feeling like you’re drowning in nappies or just need a laugh at 3am, this episode will remind you that you’re doing far better than you think and you’re never alone in it.

🍼 New here? The Night Feed is your space for real motherhood stories, listener letters, late-night honesty, and small pockets of calm in the chaos.
