À propos de cet audio

 So much of who we are as individuals is stripped and then enriched by parenthood. A singular purpose with transcending universality. For most mothers there are so many silences that deserve to be held together and vocalised in safe spaces free of judgment. The Mommy mixtape is a compilation of voices from mums who are still figuring things out. No advice, no sermons, just mothers bearing witness to each others 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 metal health by presenting perspectives from mums who are winging it and winning.Copyright 2023 All rights reserved.

    Episode 17 - The Mommy Mix Tape With Aranyani Bhargav
    Aug 28 2025
    Becoming a mother changes you in ways that are both subtle and profound. Some parts of who you are shift, while others remain your strongest anchor. For a dancer— whose art is rooted in the experience of living through the body—choosing to have a child is one of the most powerful decisions she can make. Dancers speak of a heightened awareness of their body, of a deeper connection than most to movement and presence. During pregnancy, this awareness and the deeper connection come alive. In today’s episode, we’re joined by Aranyani Bhargav—dancer, educator, and activist—who shares how motherhood has reshaped her practice, redefined her art, and expanded her perspective on teaching, activism, and what it truly means to inhabit the body.

    Episode 16 - The Mommy Mix Tape With Kavita Nehemiah
    Jul 10 2025

    Motherhood often begins with hope—with dreams, plans, and the growing anticipation of new life. As the bump grows, so does a deep and quiet sense of responsibility. But for 1 in 4 pregnancies, that journey ends in loss.

    It’s a kind of grief few talk about—a heartbreak that often has no ceremony, no ritual, and no shared mourning. Bereaved parents are left to grieve alone, their pain invisible to the world.

    Today on the show, we meet Kavita Nehemiah—a mother who has turned her loss into a collective healing experience. Through her work, she’s creating spaces and communities where loss mothers can gather, be witnessed, and find strength in each other.

    Episode 15 - The Mommy Mix Tape With Dr. Sucheta Tiwari
    Apr 28 2025
    The being and becoming of “mom” is often fraught with contradictions. The experience of Motherhood is frequently betrayed by the institution of Motherhood — by the expectation of stepping into a role rather than remaining a person. The powerlessness, rage, ambivalence, demoralization, and weariness brought on by this new identity are often pushed into the darker recesses of experience — yet every mother has felt them, at some point, in some measure. Everyone with an opinion polices Motherhood; judgment seems to come with the territory. So, how does one navigate and enrich her own experience, while building resilience against the very real challenges that Motherhood carries within? On the show, we have Dr. Sucheta Tiwari. Sucheta is a mum to a two-year-old and a psychiatrist with a special interest in women’s mental health, particularly during the perinatal period. She studied public health at Oxford, where she explored the impact of intimate partner violence on women’s health, and she is a member of the Royal College of Psychiatrists. Sucheta works as a speciality registrar in London and has completed her training with a perinatal mental health team and a mother-and-baby psychiatric unit. USEFUL RESOURCES: 1.
