Introducing Merci Maman: Studio Stories

Introducing Merci Maman: Studio Stories, a weekly podcast that tackles topics on all things parenthood. From IVF to post-natal fitness and loneliness, we know parenting is an unpredictable rollercoaster, with up’s and down’s unique to each and every one – there’s no two experiences alike. 

Throughout the years, we’ve heard so many stories pass through our little studio – some helpful, some heart-warming and some hilarious. Through the filters and polish of social media, it can be hard to navigate the crazy ride that is parenthood and we desperately wanted to find a way to share the imperfectly perfect stories that we’ve so enjoyed being a part of. And so Merci Maman: Studio Stories was born.

Available on Entale, Apple Podcasts & Spotify, we have so many hopes for our little recorded chats we’re publishing and in all honesty, we’d be happy if we just achieved one. So here’s our wishlist: 

– We hope it will spread awareness and solidarity for the things we sometimes find hard to speak about. 

– We hope it will make you laugh and that you don’t mind some profanity (Mrs Hayward, we’re looking at you!)

–  We hope it will educate – our speakers are so insightful it left us in awe.

– We hope it helps, in any way big or small. 

 But finally and most important of all, we hope you enjoy it because we most certainly did whilst creating it.
