MAMAS TALK The Podcast

MAMAS TALK The Podcast

By Jo McGregor

MAMAS TALK is hosted by Jo, a mum of three who talks honestly about motherhood, the shitty stuff, the stuff that makes us giggle and everything in-between.

Jo's work with mums (she's a local mental health advocate, mindfulness coach and hosts events) and recovery from PND, has taught her the power of those "its not just me" moments - those moments when someone shares an experience that really resonates with you and you realise its not just you that feels like that!

Jo - and guests - will tackle a host of topics, hopefully bringing you some valuable "it's not just me" moments of your own...
