029 | Lurinda V - What Happens When You Become a Step-Mum at 21?

In this episode of Can We Fkn Talk?, I sit down with the incredible Lurinda Vollmer, who shares her deeply personal journey into Motherhood - starting as a step-Mum at just 21. We talk about what it’s like to suddenly be parenting kids who aren’t yours biologically, the emotional rollercoaster of navigating trauma and young adulthood at the same time, and how loving two little girls shaped the way she later parented her son.

Lurinda opens up about the heartbreaking moment she was told she might not be able to have children, the complex decision she faced when her partner said he was done having kids, and the shock of finding out she was pregnant when she least expected it. We talk about the grief that comes with fertility uncertainty, the mental load of parenting, and the reality of functional freeze - and how she rebuilt herself from the ground up.

This is a raw, honest, and empowering episode for any parent who’s ever felt like they were figuring it out as they go - and for every woman who’s had to choose herself, even when it felt impossibly hard.
