Mother Tongue
Mother Tongue is a podcast about modern motherhood - the ambition, the identity shifts, the invisible load, and the quiet recalibrations that happen behind the scenes.I’m Maryanne. I’m a mum of three, a founder, and someone who has spent most of her adult life building businesses while raising a family, often at the same time, usually a little exhausted, and always learning as I go. This podcast is where I have the conversations I wish I’d heard earlier - the honest ones about work, money, ambition, relationships, burnout, confidence, health, and what it really means to build a life alongside motherhood, not in spite of it.Each episode features thoughtful, open conversations with founders, creatives, doctors, experts and women navigating big lives in real time. We talk about the things that don’t always make it into neat soundbites - the trade-offs, the doubts, the moments of clarity, and the decisions that quietly change everything.Mother Tongue isn’t about doing more or getting it perfect. It’s about feeling less alone, better informed, and more grounded in the choices you’re making - whether you’re building a business, raising children, starting again, or simply trying to make sense of the season you’re in.New episodes weekly.Listen in, wherever you are.To get in touch or to find out more about the podcast, please email info@wearemothertongue.com / Instagram @wearemothertongue.Or visit our website: www.wearemothertongue.com

Allergies & CMPA in Babies & Toddlers with The Children's Dietician, Lucy Upton
Sep 27, 2022 59 min<p>Since becoming a mother, I have come to realise that allergies and reflux issues in babies and toddlers are not straight forward - in fact, they are completely the opposite, leaving parents at a complete loss and pulling at strings to try and find solutions. I can relate - I have been that parent! <br/><br/>To try and shed some light on the complexities of allergies, today we are chatting to an expert - a woman who is a qualified Paediatric Dietitian and Feeding Therapist. With a number of different accolades to her name, during her 13 years, she has gained extensive experience working alongside children and their families.<br/><br/>Today's episode is packed full of facts, evidence based research, myth busting and a huge amount of useful information! The Children's Dietician offers a wealth of knowledge on everything from allergies and cow's milk protein allergy (CMPA) to reflux and feeding. <br/><br/>We answer questions on omeprazole. Is reflux the symptom of a bigger issue? Does dairy get into our breast milk? What is good poo vs bad poo? <br/><br/>Lucy's instagram: https://www.instagram.com/childrensdietitian/?hl=en<br/><br/>Lucy's website: https://www.thechildrensdietitian.co.uk/<br/><br/>Find Mother Tongue on instagram: https://www.instagram.com/wearemothertongue/?hl=en<br/><br/></p>

Maryanne was also three days postpartum with baby Ayla who was snacking away throughout the recording (hence the suckling noise you'll be able to hear). It was also Sarah's first episode at the Mother Tongue co-host (WAHOO) - all in all, so much fun, so much juicy content and so much knowledge from our fab guest! <br/><br/>Mum to three, ‘divorced but not dead’ and newly engaged, we loved catching up with the incredible Caroline Stanbury. <br/><br/>Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/carolinestanbury/?hl=en<br/>Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/divorced-not-dead/id1524317541<br/><br/></p><p><br/></p>

That nip and tuck with Dr Faisal Salim
Feb 15, 2022 1h 3mWe are huge advocates of body positivity and no, that does not mean accepting parts of your body that you’re not necessarily a huge fan of, if you do not want to. If you’re able to safely change or enhance something, and in turn that makes you feel happier about yourself, we say do it! We have the pleasure to sit down with the renowned and sought after British cosmetic surgeon Dr Faisal Salim to talk all things nip and tuck. We discuss everything from botox and fillers to tummy tucks and breast augmentation. He has become quite the name when it comes to the ‘Mummy Makeover’, which was a new but super interesting thing to us! Its more common than not that when we become mothers, we unfortunately become more self-conscious and unhappy about our bodies due to the huge changes it goes through. We openly discuss our excitement towards having our boobs done in the near future and Dr Faisal talks us through a few of the most common procedures. This episode is a real goody, whether you’re in the market for a nip and a tuck or not.
