When mothers thrive, families flourish and that’s why Happy Mum is a community that puts mums at the centre of everything we do.
We tell stories that really matter from pre pregnancy to birth and beyond, as we recognise there is no one way to parent. It’s a judgement free space to inspire and support all parents whether they are soon to be, new or old hats. We are committed to building a strong community where people can learn and grow together
whilst supporting mums at each stage of their journey.
Happy Mum was born out of Giovanna Fletcher’s own experiences of motherhood.
“ I became a mum back in 2014 and was hit with the overriding feeling of failure. I loved my baby but didn’t understand the feeling of guilt that crept up on me. I didn’t understand why life wasn’t constantly like all the pictures of mothers and babies I’d seen online. And I didn’t understand why I felt inept at something that was meant to feel so intuitive. I started sharing my thoughts. The more I did the more I realised it wasn’t just me feeling those things. Turns out everyone is just making it up as they go along and that they don’t have a clue either. I felt so relieved.
Happy Mum, Happy Baby the book was published after my second son was born and the podcast followed seven months later. I’ve LOVED feeling part of a community that removes the judgement and shame and replaces them with understanding and care.
My three children are no longer babies and just as my role of ‘mother’ constantly evolves so has the podcast. Happy Mum is here to make mothers the focus, not the afterthought. We’re here, we care and we hope sharing more stories will help mothers feel more united and held than ever.”
Sharing the thoughts Gi had in her head not only helped her but gave encouragement and support for others to do it too. Those thoughts led to a book and, in turn, the Happy Mum podcast.
A place for us to listen in on conversations Gi has with guests who kindly share their many different journeys into parenthood.
From Happy Mum Happy Baby to Happy Mum!
Something new…but still us. We have recently shifted to ‘happy Mum’ – putting mums at the centre of everything we do. Our mission remains the same – to create an open and supportive space where mums feel seen, heard, and empowered to be themselves. As Giovanna’s family grows and evolves, so does our community and conversations. Focusing on parenting, mental health, wellness, and relationships, we are so excited to give even more mums and mums to be the opportunity to share their stories and help so many people on their individual journeys.
The podcast you all know and love stays the same as well as our heart, our community and our values. We are still very much supporting new mums and their journeys Just a new chapter in a book you already know – we are so glad you are here for it!
