Why Laura changed her mind about sharing motherhood online

About this episode

The episode discusses the changing perspectives on sharing motherhood experiences online, inspired by a recent controversy involving Margot Robbie.

 This week we’re talking about the expectations put on mothers sharing (or not sharing) motherhood online.  We know y’all love Shameless as much as we do, so you might have heard a conversation that Michelle & Zara had a few weeks ago about Margot Robbie and an article calling her out for pretending she’s “not a mum”. It inspired us to share our own experiences of sharing motherhood online and how Laura’s opinions have changed since giving birth to Atlas. Also! Laura responds to an unhinged troll comment about her breastfeeding Atlas on video.  WE MENTIONED Watch Em Clarkson's video: https://www.instagram.com/p/DXKLHQJNMNC/ SPECIAL SHARES Steph: Love On The Spectrum https://www.netflix.com/au/title/81338328   Laura: More Than A Provider by Movember https://au.movember.com/story/more-than-a-provider   KICBump PODCAST Looking for our parenting podcast?
