Mum Talk is here for you on your journey into parenthood providing your 'nod along' and 'me too' moments plus answering all the questions we all have! For the first 13 series, Emma is joined by not only incredibly knowledgable guests, some experts in their field, but also Mums and Dads sharing their experience of pregnancy and parenthood. Emma also shares her personal journey from pregnancy to life now with two. Mum Talk is honest, real and informative.
For series 14, Emma is back with a brand new series and brand new conversation with her co-host Ali Bastian, who you may recognise from hit TV shows, Hollyoaks, The Bill and Strictly Come Dancing. 
Ali and Emma are in the thick of motherhood and are here to deep dive into it all with you. Motherhood changes you as a person, physically and mentally, it seems (from personal experience)to give you the most incredible sense of purpose, self-worth and strength you didn’t know you had, whilst simultaneously leading you to question your ‘self’ and more or less everything you have ever known. Ali and Emma have one goal, as it has always been from the beginning of Mum Talk almost 5 years ago, to share in the hope no-one ever feels alone in motherhood. 
Ali and Emma are here for it all, the highs, the lows, the journey that is motherhood, the realities of building a family, life, love, laughter, tears, heartbreak you name it. 
Grab a cuppa or pop your headphones in and head out for a walk, join Ali and Emma for ‘hearts on sleeves’ mum talk and journey through motherhood together.

    Normalising Infant & Toddler Sleep and how not getting any can impact your relationships.

    Normalising Infant & Toddler Sleep and how not getting any can impact your relationships.

    Ali and Emma are back this week with one of the main topics that bonds parents…..SLEEP and sleep deprivation! Who doesn't love and NEED to sleep. Without enough sleep the human brain cannot function properly.
    Ali and Emma share their experiences with sleep from newborn to toddler, how children can be polar opposite, the importance of turning off the noise and tuning in to what works for you and your family. For your children and YOU’RE sleep/sanity!
    Ali and Emma go on to talk about how lack of sleep, sleep deprivation, and the introduction of a baby can hugely impact relationships, which can leave us in total shock at such a vulnerable time. Just how can we meet each others needs and the needs of a tiny newborn baby?

The most reassuring parenting podcast

I’ve listened to mumtalk since the beginning, I now have a 9month old of my own and have revisited many of the episodes. It’s the gift that keeps on giving. Emma provides support, shares the truths that other people don’t always talk about and never fails to make me chuckle.

Such a great listen, highly recommend!

Love it!

I have a one year old son and parenting a toddler is HARD so I really appreciate all the real honesty from this podcast. It’s just so nice to hear that it’s not just me! Each episode makes me smile and say “me too” so it feels like having tea with a friend and just chatting about our worries as mums. I definitely recommend!!
