The Night Feed: The Podcast for New Mums

Did Covid quietly destroy “the village” mothers once relied on?
In this episode, I explore how motherhood has changed since the pandemic and whether modern parenting has become far more isolated than previous generations.
From family “dropping in” to neighbours helping with babies, many mums grew up hearing stories about a village that simply doesn’t seem to exist anymore. But did Covid permanently shift the way we parent, socialise and ask for help?

Why does modern motherhood feel so overwhelming, even when you’re doing everything right?
In this episode of The Night Feed, I explore the growing impact of the attention economy on mums, and why today’s mothers are experiencing a level of mental load, overstimulation and pressure like never before.
From endless scrolling during night feeds to constant comparison and parenting advice online, it’s easy to feel like you’re always “on” and never quite enough.
In this episode, I cover:
Why motherhood feels more mentally exhausting in the digital age
The impact of social media on postpartum mental health and comparison
What the “attention economy” actually means for mums
Why overstimulation is one of the biggest hidden struggles of motherhood
The shift away from sharing children online and “sharenting fatigue”
How to feel calmer, more present and less overwhelmed
Plus:

In this episode of The Night Feed, I explore how baby sleep differs around the world and why there’s no single “right” way to do it. From sleep training in the US to co-sleeping and slower-paced parenting in places like Sweden and Spain, this conversation is a reminder that cultural norms shape how we parent more than we realise.
I also talk about the pressure millennial parents are under; raising children in a more isolated, expensive, and information-heavy world, while still trying to be deeply present and connected.
Plus, I answer two listener questions:
• The anxiety spiral of Googling baby milestones
• Fear of choking during weaning and how to navigate it safely
If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, unsure, or like you’re doing it wrong this podcast is here to reassure you that you’re not.
