Mums Talking

Periods + Prada + Pressure In The Kitchen

Mums Talking

Show Notes

In this episode, we’re talking menstrual cycles, Meryl Streep, mum guilt, and the mental load that comes with it all.

Bex reveals what happened between her and a stranger in a public bathroom when her period made its postpartum return.

Steph opens up about mum guilt and the pressure she puts on herself to be better in the kitchen. This week she attempted to cook… but her first effort was not warmly received by her 2-year-old, leaving her feeling like she’d failed at one of the most basic mum expectations.

We also get real about the mental load in relationships and what that looks like for us.

Bex has also been to see The Devil Wears Prada sequel… and let’s just say, Meryl Streep, Bex has notes.

And Steph shares what dream-come-true moment happened to her on a recent flight.
