Entry Level Mums
Entry Level Mums
Podcast Description
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.

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.
