So much of who we are as individuals is stripped and then enriched by parenthood. A singular purpose with transcending universality.
For most mothers, so many silences deserve to be held together and vocalised in safe spaces free of judgment.
The Mommy Mixtape is a compilation of mums’ voices still figuring things out. No advice, no sermons, just mothers bearing witness to each other’s journeys and taking solace from stories that we all can relate to in some measure. Two psychologist moms and a stay-at-home mum come together to put forth alternative narratives on being a mum.
The podcast is an attempt to initiate conversations around motherhood and maternal mental health by presenting perspectives from mums who are winging it and winning.

Episode 10 - The Mommy Mix Tape with Soumini Menon
As we form life-affirming connections with our kids the value of persistence and resilience grows. Each one of us is wired uniquely. For parents with kids who are on the spectrum, forming connections and coping mechanisms run parallel and this goes hand in hand with navigating life in a neuro-typical world.
Soumini Menon, a seasoned developmental psychologist and arts-based therapist. In our conversation we explore aspects of neurodiversity and the path for parents towards acceptance, advocacy and allyship in order to create positive role models for our kids.
