The Myth of Balance: Honest Motherhood Roundtable ft. Entry Level Mums | Milk & Mummies

Welcome back to Milk & Mummies — the podcast where we get real about motherhood, identity, creativity and everything in between. In this special roundtable episode, I’m joined by the incredible Sawiya and Nasra from Entry Level Mums, and together we dive into one of the biggest myths modern mothers face: balance. Can we really “have it all”? What does balance look like when you’re juggling motherhood, work, relationships, dreams, exhaustion, guilt and the endless to-do list? And how do we redefine success when life keeps shifting? This conversation is honest, unfiltered, funny, warm, and deeply relatable. It’s the kind of talk you’d have with your favourite mum friends — the ones who get it. We explore: ✨ Motherhood identity shifts ✨ The pressure to “do it all” ✨ Postpartum Depression ✨ Letting balls drop without guilt ✨ Building a village and asking for help ✨ Laugh-out-loud mum moments ✨ The reality of trying (and failing) to stay balanced Whether you’re listening during school runs, night feeds or hiding in the bathroom for five minutes of peace — this is for you.
