Mother’s Instinct
We’re two Canadian moms in different stages of motherhood, showing up to have the kind of honest, no-fluff conversations we wish we’d heard sooner—about birth, babies, womanhood, and everything in between.

We’re closing out Season 1 with sunshine, intention, and a little spell work. In this episode we dive into our hopes and plans for the summer ahead, what we’re calling in, what’s on the bucket list, and how we’re going to survive. We explore how gratitude helped us both out so many time and encourage you to try it! This is a conversation for those magical mindset shifts we can cultivate as moms. We also look ahead to season 2 as we...
In this episode, we’re talking about the mother load - the often invisible weight so many women carry. From the mental lists and emotional labour, to the expectations of constant availability, the load is real. We explore what it means to us to hold so much for so many people, and what happens when we shift from expecting people in our lives to read our minds, to asking for help. This is a conversation for any mama who has felt str...
What happens to your sex life after having a baby? Does it ramp up? Go cold? What about partnership? Can it really last between two people? This episode’s about the difference between numbing out and truly showing up in partnership, even when it’s hard. Join the conversation!
What happens when your deep convictions about birth, health, or motherhood don’t line up with the choices your friends are making?

Let’s unpack how it’s hard to navigate these conversations in a compassionate way but still speak YOUR truth without losing your mind (or your relationships) because stayin...
In this episode, Becky and Nessa dive into the world of public education. Are our kids truly learning - or just complying? They unpack the difference between teaching to the test and raising critical thinkers, and ask the big question: is it time for a hall pass out of the system?
We’re told “it takes a village”, but what if the village isn’t showing up? In this episode, we start to unpack the myth that the support just magically appears in motherhood, and how those unrealistic expectations often start in pregnancy, move through into birth, and then reality really settles in postpartum. This conversation is just the beginning!
