Anger Is Not Failure: Rethinking Motherhood with Lauren Novak

Anger Is Not Failure: Rethinking Motherhood with Lauren Novak

One of the hardest parts of parenting is one not many people talk about.

In this episode, we dive into the reality of “mum rage” — the intense, often shame-filled anger that can surface in the daily grind of parenting. Lauren Novak is a journalist, author and mum herself. Her new book 'Melt Down' explores the raw and often unspoken angry emotions that many mothers go through, yet few feel safe admitting.

This honest and deeply personal conversation explores the gap between what we’re told parenting should feel like, and the pressure-filled reality it often is. We unpack the invisible mental load, the impact of sleep deprivation, chronic stress, and the relentless demands that can push even the most loving parents to breaking point. You’ll also hear about the anger–guilt cycle, why it happens, and how it can quietly erode wellbeing if left unspoken.

If you’ve ever felt overstretched, overstimulated, or just not good enough as a parent, this conversation will feel both validating and illuminating. Because the truth is: you’re not the only one — and talking about it might be the first step to changing it.
