In this deeply personal episode, we sit down with our own beautiful mums, Leanne and Julie, to reflect on the women they were before motherhood, the journey of raising us, and the legacy of love, sacrifice, and identity that lives on in our families today.From the early days of nappies and night feeds to their honest reflections on watching us become mothers, this conversation is full of emotion, memory, vulnerability… and the kind of insight only a mum can offer.We talk matrescence, generational shifts, quiet sacrifices, and the wisdom they've carried, often silently, for decades. It’s tender. It’s raw. It’s the story behind the stories we tell.How Motherhood Changed Me is hosted by journalists Kerrie Turner & Jenna Yates.We'd love you to be part of the conversation by connecting with us on Instagram.Join our community chat group on Facebook.Visit our website.Send us an email.
