#23: Modern Motherhood, Mental Health, and Life Online—An Unfiltered Conversation with Harriet Beal

Season 1 Episode 23

Talk to Nichole and Ben.

Parenting today isn’t just about raising kids—it’s about navigating a digital world that never stops watching. In this episode, Nichole and Ben sit down with content creator and full-time mum Harriet Beal for a refreshingly honest conversation about what motherhood really looks like behind the reels.

Harriet opens up about parenting in the age of social media, the mental load of always needing to “show up,” and her diagnosis of PMDD—a hormonal disorder that affects every part of her life. They talk about gentle parenting, screen time guilt, marriage pressure, and what it feels like to be judged by strangers while just trying to be a good mum.

If you've ever felt like you're failing because everyone else makes it look easy—this episode will remind you that you’re not alone. Real motherhood is messy, hilarious, exhausting, and full of joy—and you don’t need to be perfect to be doing it right.
