In this episode, I’m joined by SheRise Blackman — actor, writer and executive producer of Audible’s Do Not Disturb.

We talk about faith, purpose, motherhood and what it really takes to build a creative career while staying grounded. A powerful conversation for anyone navigating ambition, identity and growth.

What really happens to your identity after becoming a mother?

This week on Milk & Mummies, I’m joined by singer-songwriter Kyra to talk about motherhood, creativity, and the emotional load that so many women carry silently.

We explore:

• Postpartum identity shifts

• Balancing ambition and motherhood

• Creating while raising a child

• Guilt, growth and redefining success

Kyra’s singles Strong Ones, Feeling Blue and Good Woman are a reflection of this journey — and this conversation goes even deeper.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re evolving faster than you can explain… this one’s for you.

This week on Milk & Mummies, I’m joined by Maryam Javaid — parent mentor, speaker, and founder of Black and Brown Parenting.

Together, we explore what it really means to break generational cycles and challenge the cultural narratives that shape how we parent.

From emotional safety to leadership in the home, this conversation dives into the realities of healing as a mother — and the courage it takes to do things differently.

Maryam shares her journey, the work she does with women, and how we can begin to unlearn patterns that no longer serve us or our children.

This episode is honest, powerful, and deeply needed.

We talk about:

• Generational trauma and healing
• Cultural expectations in parenting
• Motherhood and identity
• Raising emotionally safe children
• Building new legacies
