Started by two young Somali mums in London, Entry Level Mums is more than just a podcast - it’s a space for real, unfiltered conversations about motherhood. Nasra and Sawiya don’t sugarcoat the journey. They share their experiences with honesty, vulnerability, and, of course, a good dose of banter. With completely different birth stories - Nas having a natural birth and Sawiya a C-section - they bring two unique perspectives to the table. But one thing they both agree on? Postpartum was tough. Isolating, overwhelming, and nothing like what they expected. No one should feel alone in motherhood.
Inside a Mum & Baby Unit: Severe Postpartum Mental Illness feat. Jasmine Paige | Entry Level Mums
⚠️ Content warning: This episode includes discussions of suicidal thoughts, birth trauma, PTSD, OCD, personality disorder, and severe postpartum mental illness. Please listen with care.
We're back with Jasmine Paige, who shares her story on her mental health crisis when she was 4 months postpartum.
After a traumatic hospital birth, she experienced a severe mental health crisis that led to her being admitted to a specialist Mum & Baby Unit for five weeks with her first baby.
We also talk about:
• Birth trauma and its lasting impact
• Life inside a Mum & Baby Unit
• The stigma surrounding maternal mental health and personality disorder diagnoses
• Navigating a social services referral as a new mum
• Preparing for a second postpartum experience after trauma
• Finding hope, healing and confidence in motherhood
If you've ever felt alone in your motherhood journey, we hope this conversation reminds you that support exists, healing is possible, and asking for help is a sign of strength.

Mum Chat: Anti-Muslim Hate - What Do The Numbers Really Tell Us? | Entry Level Mums
We're having the conversation that Britain keeps avoiding. Islamophobia. What does anti-Muslim hate actually look like right now, how widespread is it, and why is so much of it never getting reported?
We sit down with the latest research from the British Muslim Trust and honestly, some of these numbers stopped us in our tracks. 45% of all religious hate crimes in the UK are directed at Muslims, the highest of any faith group, and up 19% on the year before. More than half of Muslim adults experienced prejudice based on their faith in just the last twelve months. And yet only 7% of them reported it.
We also get into the assumptions people are making about Muslim women every single day, and what our personal experiences tell us about the statistics.
This episode is made in partnership with the British Muslim Trust, a national charity appointed by the UK government to monitor and tackle anti-Muslim hostility across the UK. They run a national helpline, carry out research into what Muslim communities are actually experiencing on the ground, and deliver workshops in schools to challenge prejudice early.If you or someone you know has experienced anti-Muslim hate, whether that's in person, at work, on public transport or online, please report it. It doesn't have to be a big deal to be worth reporting. Every single one counts.

For online hate, just screenshot it and send it to their WhatsApp. That's genuinely all it takes.
