MOTHERHOOD

I'm Claire Warren, a.k.a. @mykindamum, and my mission is to reduce the frustration and loneliness of motherhood by helping mums feel seen.

I do this by sharing relatable, honest parenting content (with a healthy dose of sarcasm) and speaking openly about the challenges so many of us are facing. Because the more we talk (and laugh) about the challenges of parenthood, the easier they are to overcome.

I hope you stick around and join the community and find some strength in solidarity.
