The Unspoken Hardships of Parenting: Mental Health, Support & Society

Motherhood. Fatherhood. Parenting. No one really tells you how hard it can feel behind closed doors. In this raw and honest episode of Life in Black & White podcast, we sit down with Candice Davis, the founder of After Birth London to talk about the unspoken hardships of parenting — the ones we don’t post on Instagram and rarely say out loud. We dive into the realities of becoming a parent, the pressure to “hold it all together,” and how mental health quietly shapes both motherhood and fatherhood. From postpartum depression and fear of judgement, to feminism, identity, and the myth of the “perfect mum,” this episode pulls back the curtain on what parenting really looks like. We also talk about: ✨ Why support systems matter more than we admit ✨ The emotional load many fathers carry ✨ How social media distorts motherhood ✨ Why asking for help isn’t weakness — it’s survival ✨ Creating your own village when one doesn’t exist ✨ Holding onto who you are beyond motherhood You’ll also learn about After Birth London, a vital resource offering support, information, and community for parents navigating life after birth.
