HeyJaredMothers' Hood
We should be mothering amongst the stories of motherhood - its complexities, joys and challenges - and we should have been supported and mentored through it, with the knowledge being passed down from generation to generation.But today we mother largely in isolation, away from…

16 - Maybe I'm not Cut out for Motherhood? With Laura Greenwood (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This episode was recorded back in 2022 when the podcast first started. Since then, Laura has continued her work with hundred of mothers and also her own self-discovery, so I feel that an update of motherhood and life from Laura is needed here - watch this space! In this episode, Sam is joined by Laura Greenwood, psychotherapist, mother, and founder of her own private practice in Yorkshire, for an honest conversation about the early years of motherhood. Laura shares what it was really like becomi
15 - Stop Calling it Baby Brain! What Really Happens When You Grow a Human Being. (opens the original)
Read excerpt
‘Baby brain.’ We've all said it. We've all had it said to us, usually with a little pat on the head and a ‘bless her.’ In this episode, I'm calling it out for what it actually is - a lazy, patronising insult dressed up as a joke, and I'm bringing the neuroscience to prove it. Because here's the thing, while we've been told for decades that pregnancy turns our brains to mush, the research tells a completely different story. Your brain isn't declining when you become a mother. It's being rebuilt t
14 - Having a Baby Doesn't Mean Derailing your Career, with Ashley Chang (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Here's a plot twist for you: Ashley Chang built a business for working parents before she was a parent herself. Ashley is the founder of Sundays — an executive assistant service that pairs working families with (mostly) mum-run support, both at work and at home. She spent years deep in the research, talking to exhausted parents, watching the drop-off that happens the second ambition meets a baby. Then she had her own son, four months before we recorded this and got to test every assumption on he
13 - Why Flexible Working isn't Working - solo episode (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In this episode I'm calling out the PR stunt for what it is. Flexible working policies were never going to be the holy grail on their own and the stats prove it. Careers After Babies' 2024 report found a 32% reduction in women in managerial roles after becoming a mum, alongside a 44% increase in admin roles. Brilliant, capable women, moving backwards, not because they've lost their edge, but because nothing around them was built to hold them through the change. This isn't a logistics problem and
12 - Motherhood Changed my Career Goals Forever, with Amy Taylor-Kabbaz (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I recorded this conversation with Amy Taylor-Kabbaz back in 2022, right when I first started this podcast and I didn't get to publish it at the time. I'm so happy it's not out in the world for more mammas to hear from this incredible woman who changed the trajectory of my motherhood for the better. Amy was my mentor and I trained with her for nearly three years in motherhood coaching and she's the reason Mothers' Hood exists. She was the first person who ever made me feel like what I was going t
