When I first heard about Mother Tongue, I thought to myself: ‘Oh, great, another podcast about motherhood and parenting (cue eye-roll ). Surely the digital and social media sphere has enough mummy bloggers, influencers and podcasters; do we need another one?’ As I find it far more interesting when new mums think they have garnered enough experience to share any insight (believe me as a mother of four girls, they have no idea what’s coming), I switch on Mother Tongue. The podcast was started in January by three British mums in Dubai: Maryanne Peacock, 31, Ellis Harwood, 30, and Jess Savage, 33, and is about their “honest journey” of motherhood.
