In this episode of Raw and Real , Julie and Sonia dive deep into the unspoken rules, beliefs, and expectations we carry into motherhood—often without even realising it.

From people-pleasing to putting everyone else’s needs before our own, we explore how generational conditioning shapes the way we show up as parents and women. Why do we feel guilty when we choose differently than our parents did? How much of what we do is truly our choice, and how much is inherited?

This is a real, unfiltered conversation about the personas we take on—often unconsciously—and the journey of starting to parent from a place of awareness, not obligation. If you’ve ever felt torn between what feels right for you and what’s been expected of you, this one’s for you.

No scripts, no filters—just two women talking honestly about the messy, beautiful truth of parenting and identity.
