The Quiet Shock of Early Motherhood, Feeling Lost & Not Ready to Go Back to Work
Episode 2
Wednesday, 14 January, 2026
Welcome back to The Night Feed. I’m Charlotte, and tonight, I’m talking about the quiet shock of early motherhood. The part no one really prepares you for. The part where you love your baby deeply, but still feel disoriented, lost, or like a stranger in your own life.I share honestly about how I’m doing (sleep has been all over the place), a film that stayed with me, and a brilliant trend I came across: baby-friendly comedy clubs for mums. Judgement-free spaces where feeding, crying, and chaos are expected, and laughter is just for us.A listener writes in during a 3:14am feed about feeling like she’s disappeared since becoming a mum, grieving who she was before while loving her baby fiercely. I talk about why feeling lost doesn’t mean you’re broken. It usually means you’re becoming someone new.Another mum shares the heartbreak of going back to work when her baby is just three months old: the grief of the bubble ending, the anger at short maternity leave, and the ache of stretching bedtime just to steal more closeness.This episode is for anyone awake right now, feeling tender, unsure, and quietly overwhelmed.You’re not alone.Keep your emails coming to thenightfeedpodcast@gmail.comTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thenightfeed
