The role of being a Mother offers us the potential for incredible expansion, growth, and power, while also being one of – if not THE – most challenging, undervalued, and taken for granted roles in the world. Motherhood Studies Sociologist, researcher, and single Mother, Dr Sophie Brock hosts The Good Enough Mother (TGEM) podcast with an aim to change how Motherhood is culturally defined and individually experienced. TGEM draws its name from a theorist and pediatrician Winnicott, who highlighted the ways ‘good enough’ parenting is actually what is best for our children – not perfectionism. The podcast centres the Mother as the starting point for conversations with experts and change-makers who are passionate about seeing social, cultural, and institutional change to better support Mothers and therefore our families, and communities.All rights reserved

    130. Music and Matrescence: Connection, Identity and Regulation in Motherhood with Elizabeth McLean (PhD, RMT)
    Oct 5 2026
    In this episode, I speak with registered music therapist Dr Elizabeth McClean about the role music can play in motherhood, not only in supporting connection between parent and child, but in supporting mothers themselves too. Elizabeth brings extensive experience working with infants, parents and families in acute paediatric, perinatal and early parenting settings, including neonatal and paediatric intensive care. We explore music and matrescence, how music can be a practical and accessible resource for regulation and co-regulation; lullabies, family lineage and the ways songs can carry connection across generations; the relationship between music, emotion and memory; and the possibilities music offers for playfulness and connection in family life.

    129. Motherhood as Leadership Training: Rethinking Ambition, Burnout, and Balance with Nicky Lowe
    Jun 17 2026
    In this episode, I’m joined by Nicky Lowe - award-winning Executive Coach, Founder of Luminate Group - to explore the intersection of paid work, leadership, and motherhood. Nicky shares her experience of burnout after becoming a mother and how it reshaped both her life and her work. We discuss motherhood as a vertical development transition, one of the most profound shifts in identity and growth a woman can experience, and the importance of cultivating personal leadership to navigate career and caregiving in more sustainable ways. Together we reflect on the motherhood penalty, the motherhood advantage, and what becomes possible when women are supported to thrive in systems not yet designed with mothers in mind. . . .

    128. Matrescence Through the Lens of Occupational Therapy with Hollie Swanton
    May 28 2026
    In this episode, I’m joined by Mental Health Endorsed Occupational Therapist, Yoga Teacher, Circle of Security Parenting Facilitator and Motherhood Studies practitioner Hollie Swanton to explore matrescence, regulation, identity, and the transition into motherhood through the lens of occupational therapy. Hollie supports women both perinatally and across the lifespan using body-based and mind-body approaches to healing, regulation, and reconnection. Together we explore the often invisible work of adapting to motherhood - the shifts in identity, routines, relationships, nervous system responses, and daily occupations that can emerge during the transition into becoming a mother. We discuss what occupational therapy actually is, how OTs can support mothers, and why motherhood can feel so physically and emotionally dysregulating, particularly within systems and cultures that often leave women unsupported, overstimulated, and disconnected from themselves.
