I feel a little teary writing this - but I’m not exaggerating when I say this podcast has changed my life. This podcast introduced me to concepts like the perfect mother myth, intensive mothering ideology and matrescence. It has changed how I approach and embody motherhood and parent my...Read full review »

I love Sophie’s work and the transformational messaging she is putting out to mothers everywhere, explaining why it isn’t mothers’ fault they struggle to flourish; it’s the system in which we are mothering that is at fault. The podcast brings this to life with expert guests discussing in a really...Read full review »

Wow. Just wow.

Dr Sophie Brock brings so much integrity & clarity to the noisy space of exploring what it is to be a mother. Love the way she bridges the gap between academic literature & her own lived experience.
yyttccxxzxaawwqqrrttmm via Apple Podcasts · New Zealand · 07/27/22
Sophie brings voice to so many aspects of Motherhood that largely go unspoken. Her guests are varied and knowledgeable and it’s a pure delight to listen to. Thanks Sophie!
Zoe Haack via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 07/27/22
Dr. Sophie Brock has so much insight on modern motherhood and how women may learn to view ourselves in a healthier way (instead of as patriarchal motherhood wants us to view ourselves). I highly recommend this podcast.

I’ve discovered this podcast when my kid was a baby and it helped me to put words into what I was experiencing. Intellectualizing matrescence was different from all content aimed at mothers I was finding at that time so thank you for that

Listened to the episode on the misconceptions of good enough mothering. What a beautiful, nurturing, empowering talk for moms and an amazing tool to push back against very harmful societal constructs. Amazing work! Thank you!
I Luv Brasil via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/08/21
The advice about making time with the kids easier on mom (give mom a scuba tank instead of just letting her out for air) has helped me develop strategies that make me lose my temper less. Just trying to be a calm perfect mom does not work and this podcast helps ID and cope with underlying issues...Read full review »

As a mum of two toddlers (4yo boy and 2yo girl) who (prior to children) was VERY outcome focused/KPI driven I related so so so much to your podcast on the perfect child myth.

Dr Sophie’s podcast is a must listen for modern mothers. The care she takes in dismantling ideas, both common and lesser known, that yield new understandings.

I have been a mother for 16 years and have 5 children ranging in age from 4 to 16. I wish this podcast was around when I first became a mother.

I was a stay at home mum feeling invisible and like a failure to feminism. Now I value my WORK and have embraced my authentic ‘good enough’ self. I didn’t turn my life around...

I found Dr. Sophie on Instagram well over a year ago and have watched her stories and have been absorbing her content on that platform.
