'My Pure Existence Is An Issue For Some People' Talia Mar on Raising a Daughter, Pregnancy Being Absolute Hell & Being An Autistic Mum

This week on Mum's The Word, Georgia Jones is joined by singer and new mum Talia Mar, and she's refreshingly honest about the parts of motherhood no one warns you about. Talia opens up about why pregnancy was far from the glowing, magical experience she expected, how her autism diagnosis changed the way she understands herself, and the moment having a daughter made her see the world completely differently. From battling hyperemesis gravidarum to navigating the overstimulation of new motherhood as a neurodivergent woman, Talia shares the coping strategies, the hard moments, and the humour that's got her through it all. The pair get into the real conversations every mum is having right now: Pregnancy nobody prepares you for — from HG to lightning crotch (yes, really) Being a neurodivergent mum — managing overstimulation, masking & finding your rhythm Raising a daughter in today's world — and why it sparked Talia's powerful new single Lady The female experience — from street harassment to the double standards we've all just… accepted Screen time & gaming — why Talia thinks games get a bad rap (and what Georgia learns about Minecraft) Getting an autism diagnosis as an adult woman — and why it was a relief, not a label There are laughs, lightbulb moments, and plenty of "why did no one tell us this?" honesty. If you've ever felt like motherhood is overwhelming, messy, and nothing like the Instagram version… this episode is for you. 🎧 Listen now to Mum's The Word: The parenting podcast that says what everyone else is thinking.
