Watching Mothers in Public: What I Didn’t See Coming
Episode 2
Sunday, 25 January, 2026
In this episode, I take you behind the scenes of a street campaign I carried out in Bristol, where I stopped mothers in public space and asked one simple, unexpected question:“What would you say to another mum who feels she’s lost herself?”This episode isn’t about solutions.It’s about the moment itself.I share:Why I felt called to take this question into public spaceThe deeply personal experience that first made me aware of how invisible motherhood can feelWhat it was like to stand on the street and ask this question — and what happened before the answers cameThe pause, the silence, and the visible shift in breath, eyes, and body when mothers were asked something they didn’t expectThree simple observations I noticed across conversations — without analysing or explaining what they meanHow this experience shifted my own instinct to move quickly into meaning-making, and why I’m choosing witnessing over explaining for nowThis was a pilot campaign, not a finished project.And this episode reflects the position I’m standing in right now: a witness who is beginning to notice patterns, but choosing to stay close to the human moment rather than rush into conclusions.At the end of the episode, I invite you to sit with the same question yourself — not for me, not for the project, but for what happens in you when you hear it.This episode is for you if you’re craving something slower, more human, and more spacious — and if you know the feeling of disappearing in motherhood, even when everything looks “fine” from the outside.🔗 Explore & Stay ConnectedIf you’d like to go deeper or stay close to how this work unfolds, you can find me here:🎧 Find Her Again™ — Free 7-Day Audio JourneyA gentle audio series to help you reconnect with yourself, your voice, and your sense of identity — on your own terms.🔥 The Firestarter Question — Campaign PageWatch clips from the street campaign and, if you’d like, answer the same question anonymously yourself.✍️ @FirestarterMum Quiet reflections, ongoing work, and moments from the field.Thank you for listening — and for sitting with this question alongside me 🤍
