Description

A podcast designed to help women navigate the journey that is motherhood. Mother, Unrefined is THE place for raw and honest conversations (but with lots of laughter in between). The purpose of the podcast is to provide women with an honest and safe space to discuss their journey to and through motherhood. Each episode focuses on a different aspect of motherhood and includes discussions with like-minded women and health professionals on all topics, from fertility & conception through to pregnancy and toddlerhood. Co-hosted by two EX-business partners (Nicola & Jess) who "broke up" as friends and business partners after 5 relentless years of running a health and wellness business and have reignited their flame over Motherhood.
