‘Is motherhood that great?’ The truth is - motherhood changes a woman, and it can be disorientating. Becoming a mum confronts us with our evolving identity and the multiple roles we play as women.
The Deconstructed Mum, hosted by Family Life Educator, Alvina Chin, brings personal stories about the relatable but also complicated parts of navigating modern motherhood. Each episode features a mum who shares her experience with various aspects of motherhood, from the delicate mother-daughter relationship to the daily courage of raising a child with additional needs.
Hear the stories, gain personal insights, and maybe even find something to talk about with another mum.
