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.

In this powerful and honest conversation, we’re joined by Marsha, founder of Black SEN Mamas, as she shares her journey of raising three neurodivergent daughters while navigating life as an autistic and ADHD mum herself.
We dive deep into what it really looks like to parent when both you and your children are neurodivergent, from the daily realities to the emotional weight that often goes unseen.
In this episode, we discuss:
✨ Living with ADHD and autism while raising three autistic children with ADHD
✨ The challenges of navigating the school system, EHCPs, and what happens when schools fail your child
✨ The story behind Black SEN Mamas and building a self-sufficient, community-led support network
✨ Understanding PDA (Pathological Demand Avoidance) and SPD (Sensory Processing Disorder)
✨ The impact of racism and the lack of institutional support, especially when advocating as a Black parent
This conversation is raw, eye-opening, and necessary. Whether you're a parent, educator, or someone wanting to better understand neurodivergence and systemic barriers, this episode is for you.
