Mother Tongue

Hello and welcome back to Mother Tongue! A podcast and social media community bringing together mums from around the world to connect over their experiences of motherhood.

Now boasting a successful website, audiobook and strong social following, it all started with a podcast in 2020. A British expat living in the UAE, I started the brand all over a coffee with friends sat at her house, discussing the trials and tribulations of being a mum. The idea was to provide companionship for a generation of new mothers who are expected to do it all.

With the help of the many experts and mothers I have spoken to over the last three years, we have taken listeners along on our own journey into motherhood and beyond. 

Now heading into its 13th season, Mother Tongue continues to grow and help women around the world.

Thanks for tuning in!
