In Conversation With Frances Bilbao from Mums Matter Psychology
What is the perfect mother myth and why does it exist?
In the second of our series of interviews on the unspoken truths of motherhood, Frances Bilbao from Mums Matter discusses the perfect mother myth and explores the question of why does it exists in the first place?
We look at how we can start to normalise the realities of modern motherhood – the full spectrum, including the challenging aspects that often feel taboo to speak about?
And importantly, how can we assist mothers in redefining what it means to be a ‘good’ mother?

Why Hiring Postpartum In-Home Support Can Transform Your Recovery
If I had my way, support would be non-negotiable and, in an ideal world, would have government funding, so everyone can access the help we all deserve. We can shape our families' and therefore babies' complete outcomes (and lives!) by providing education, but above all, support in those early days. It is essential for a mother who has given birth to rest and recover.

Finding Calm within the Chaos
This idea flips the script. Instead of seeing happiness, peace or calm as something that only exists in the future, tied to the achievement of a goal, it invites you to find joy and satisfaction in the present moment. It’s a reminder that your feelings aren’t just an outcome of a milestone, but they are a tool for creating it.
