A billion views on motherhood content: What's behind the scenes, with Rebecca and Fiona Ryan

Welcome back to Season 18 of Everymum, the podcast, the place for people who love their kids deeply but also occasionally fantasize about running away to a quiet hotel room with room service and no one saying “Maaaam” for three to five business days. Today’s guests are two women who understand that impulse all too well, and have somehow turned it into content: Rebecca and Fiona Ryan. They’re Irish sisters, actors, and online creators who grew up just outside Meath, trained together at the Gaiety School of Acting, and have spent most of their adult lives toggling between their passion for acting, and both are now mothers of two. Rebecca is best known for her hilarious and painfully relatable videos on motherhood and modern life — the kind that make you laugh and then wince at how real it is, and then send to your group chat. Fiona, meanwhile, spent years acting and producing in London before returning home, where together, they’ve created Motherhustle. It's a new mini-series about the grind of parenting. It’s funny, sharp, and occasionally too on the nose for comfort. What I love about these two is that they’re not just making jokes about motherhood — they’re exploring how to stay ambitious when someone around you always has sticky hands and needs another snack. How do you make art out of chaos without losing your mind or your sense of humour? We get into all of that in this episode: the creative process, the sister dynamic, the limits of sharing online, and what the future holds for them and their families. So, make yourself a coffee or something stronger, depending on the hour and join us as we talk about turning the mess of modern motherhood into something you can actually laugh about. I;ll be back next week with more. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
