Dear Mum is the funny, honest, zero-judgement podcast that feels like the mums’ group chat that’s always open - for 3am feeds, school runs, and everything in between.
Hosted by Charlie Barker (mum of three, business owner), it’s real chats, stories you couldn’t make up, deep-breath moments, and practical little wins - from newborn nights to exam weeks, nap traps to parenting with your partner.
Not perfect... just your go-to mum chat - in your ears and on your screen.

Dear Mum, it's Emily Jackman: I Lost My Pink Completely
A gentle heads up: this episode includes an honest conversation about a traumatic birth and time in intensive care with a newborn, in case that's a hard topic for you to hear right now.
Dr Emily Jackman spends her days reassuring worried patients that their child's rash is probably fine…at 3am with her own kids?
She's just as lost as the rest of us.
Emily's mum to Madden and Romy, and this one's a proper mum chat. A traumatic first birth that ended in two weeks in intensive care with her newborn, and the single session of rewind therapy that finally helped her process it months later. The shock of going from one child to two, and the overstimulation nobody properly warns you about. Losing her sense of style so completely she calls it her "beige era", and finding her way back to it through colour analysis and a lot of supermarket shopping.
She happens to be a GP too, which gives her a brilliant, honest angle on the gap between knowing the medicine and surviving your own 3am panic,
…but this episode is about the mum bit, not the doctor bit.

Dear Mum, it's Giorgina Falcone: All I Wanted Was To Be A Mum… But I Was Lonely
“The first thing she said to me was, can you pick me up now?" That's Giorgina Falcone on meeting her daughter Summer-Rae after her C-section.
She had to tell her no… not for six weeks.
Giorgina and I only met recently and talked for hours, so she had to come on. She's mum to Summer-Rae and Dylan, and this one is the full mum chat. Two emergency C-sections, including two days of labour before Dylan, how she was living with her sister, Giovanna, who she called her live-in midwife when she gave birth, and the NCT group that left her feeling worse - before the friendships that came later.
We also talk about mourning the life you had (not the person you were), the loneliness nobody warns you about, and perimenopause hitting so hard she couldn't remember her kids' names.
And along the way she tells me how her pregnancy underwear brand, MuthaProject, was born, and why we ALL need underwear like this!
I hope you love this episode of Dear Mum. We’re hoping to start production for Season 3 super soon, but can’t do it without your support - so please hit FOLLOW or SUBSCRIBE wherever you’re listening or watching 💛
