Momfessions is a new podcast that will provide a sounding board for mums around the UK, Ireland and further afield.
Hosted by life coach, and founder of MIND MOMMY COACHING®, Laura Guckian, the podcast is being launched on the back of research she carried out around maternal mental health.
The independent study of almost 2,000 mothers across Ireland and the UK revealed that over 92% have struggled with their mental health. This included 81% reporting heightened levels of anxiety and 73% grappling with negative thoughts, particularly those centred around feelings of inadequacy as mothers.
In the new 6-episode series, Laura asks her listeners and community of like-minded mums to send in their anonymous voice notes with their ‘momfessions’. These are the things mums feel or experience but are too afraid to share – the things that make them feel like they are alone and doing motherhood wrong.
Laura will offer a dose of sound advice and assurance to create a supportive community for mothers navigating the highs and lows of motherhood.
Laura says: “Becoming a mother is one of life’s greatest gifts, but also the greatest shift any human being will ever undertake. As you begin your motherhood journey, you are no longer the same person, and your life is no longer just your own.
“I wanted to combine my expertise as a qualified life coach and real-life experience as a mother of three, to create a motherhood podcast like no other. Momfessions will normalise all of the challenges we experience as mums and give mothers the tools they need to navigate them.”
The podcast is produced by Insanity Studios and in partnership with Rescue Remedy, a combination of flower essences that provides comfort and reassurance to calm and support an emotional balance.
Charlotte Mason, Podcast Production Manager at Insanity Studios said: “With a track record of producing chart-topping parenting podcasts for family brands with long-standing and respected reputations, Insanity Studios was delighted to support Laura in producing Momfessions.
“Laura’s expertise and insight has already supported so many mothers through their parenting journeys and we’re very proud to facilitate an extra channel for even more parents to receive her game-changing guidance.”
Momfessions launches on Monday 8 January 2024, with new episodes released every Monday wherever you get your podcasts.
