For the mums finding their identity again ♥

We’re not just a mum, we’re so much more.

A podcast & community.

Listen to the latest podcast episode

When Basic Hygiene Is Branded as Self-Care
In this solo episode, Maggie dives into the all-too-relatable experience of mum guilt and how we've been conditioned to see basic needs—like showering or grocery shopping—as "me time." She unpacks why true self-care goes deeper than hygiene routines and errands, and why prioritising your needs isn’t selfish—it’s essential. If you've ever felt guilty for wanting more than survival, this one’s for you.

Meet the founder

Hi! I’m Maggie.

I’m a business owner 💻
I’m a writer ✍️
I’m a green thumb enthusiast 🌿

I was all these things, and more, before I was “mum” and for a while there I forgot I existed outside of that title.

The Journey So Far

It all begins with an idea.

What started as a throwaway idea - who hasn't jokingly said "let's start a podcast"?

No? Just me...?

Not Just A Mum quickly became a hyperfixation but as all good hyperfixations go, they can just as easily fall by the wayside.

So, to not only hold us accountable, but to also share the journey of what it's like to start a new business/project, we've been documenting our journey from concept to launch.

Follow our journey wherever you like to spend your time being social.
