Feel like you're failing at motherhood? Maybe you're actually on the right track.
In this episode, I chat with author and podcaster Victoria Vanstone about her year of âmummingâ â a 12-month mission to try anything and everything to become a better mum.
 From parenting courses and rage walks to hiding in Aldi and whispering affirmations in the pantry, Victoria shares the real story of what worked, what didnât, and why trying (and failing) might be the most important part.
If mum guilt, mum rage, or the pressure to âget it rightâ are part of your daily internal monologue â this oneâs for you.
Youâll hear:
đĄ Why mum guilt and mum rage are normal â and what to do with them
đĄ The parenting tools that actually worked (and the weird ones that didnât)
đĄ Why doing things for yourself might be the most effective parenting strategy
đĄ What Victoria learned from yelling, bribing, and eventually walking away â on purpose
