Why does modern motherhood feel so overwhelming, even when you’re doing everything right?

In this episode of The Night Feed, I explore the growing impact of the attention economy on mums, and why today’s mothers are experiencing a level of mental load, overstimulation and pressure like never before.

From endless scrolling during night feeds to constant comparison and parenting advice online, it’s easy to feel like you’re always “on” and never quite enough.

In this episode, I cover:

• Why motherhood feels more mentally exhausting in the digital age
• The impact of social media on postpartum mental health and comparison
• What the “attention economy” actually means for mums
• Why overstimulation is one of the biggest hidden struggles of motherhood
• The shift away from sharing children online and “sharenting fatigue”
• How to feel calmer, more present and less overwhelmed

Plus:

• A listener story: “Baby Monitor Fail” — a toe-curling moment every mum will fear (and laugh at)
• A feel-good email on finding small, realistic ways to rebuild maternal self-image
• This week’s trending topic: why influencers are stepping back from sharing their children
• A simple self-care tip to help quiet a busy mind

If you’ve ever felt overstimulated, exhausted, or like you’re constantly comparing yourself to other mums online, this episode will remind you that you are not alone, and you are not failing.

Because you were never meant to compete with an algorithm!

From the biggest regrets mums have in the newborn stage to feeling resentment towards your partner after having a baby, this episode is for any mum who feels overwhelmed, touched out, or like she’s quietly struggling behind the scenes.

We also dive into a viral parenting debate:

…and why so many mums feel their exhaustion isn’t taken seriously.

Plus, real listener emails covering:

• Feeling alone in your relationship after baby
• Postnatal anxiety (PPA) and postpartum depression (PPD)
• A beautiful breastfeeding win after months of struggling
• And a powerful reminder that even the hardest phases don’t last forever

In this episode of The Night Feed, I explore how baby sleep differs around the world and why there’s no single “right” way to do it. From sleep training in the US to co-sleeping and slower-paced parenting in places like Sweden and Spain, this conversation is a reminder that cultural norms shape how we parent more than we realise.

I also talk about the pressure millennial parents are under; raising children in a more isolated, expensive, and information-heavy world, while still trying to be deeply present and connected.

Plus, I answer two listener questions:
• The anxiety spiral of Googling baby milestones
• Fear of choking during weaning and how to navigate it safely

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, unsure, or like you’re doing it wrong this podcast is here to reassure you that you’re not.
