Kate sits down with Sarah, Samantha, Nadene and Jess to talk about what their lives are like following the deaths of their partners. They discuss the pressure to “get over” their grief, leaning into friendships with other widows, re-entering the dating scene, not fitting into the “widow club” – and much more.

Kate, Sharla, Victoria and Sabrina get candid. They discuss hating their partners in the early postpartum period, struggling with their body image after giving birth, going to couples counselling and whether any parents of young kids are actually having sex.

Kate, Stephanie, Kristy and Sabrina discuss how motherhood has impacted the way they view themselves and the way others view them, the competing feelings of failure and confidence that motherhood can instill, the emotional whiplash of adoring your kids but wanting time apart and the importance of finding ways to be you outside of motherhood.

“The hardest part of IVF was the isolation that you feel. You feel broken.”

Kate, Stephanie, Sabrina and Victoria discuss how getting pregnant doesn’t often go according to plan, how partners don’t always show up in the ways you might expect, how anger can emerge postpartum and how the medical system can fail women who’ve experienced pregnancy loss.

Kate, Sharla, Victoria and Kristy chat about the elusive village. They discuss the loneliness that comes with having a child during the pandemic and after moving to a new country, how asking for help can sometimes feel like a burden, how friendships change post-kids, and how some people just don’t seem to understand the relentless stress of mothering young children.

Kate, Stephanie, Sharla and Sabrina discuss the seemingly impossible task of balancing work and parenting, how motherhood has changed their relationship with ambition, the messages companies send to their employees who are moms and whether discussing your home life in a job interview is ever a good idea.
