About this episode

Maryam Javaid joins Raychel Addo to discuss breaking generational cycles in motherhood and the challenges of unlearning harmful cultural narratives.

This week on Milk & Mummies, I’m joined by Maryam Javaid — parent mentor, speaker, and founder of Black and Brown Parenting. Together, we explore what it really means to break generational cycles and challenge the cultural narratives that shape how we parent. From emotional safety to leadership in the home, this conversation dives into the realities of healing as a mother — and the courage it takes to do things differently. Maryam shares her journey, the work she does with women, and how we can begin to unlearn patterns that no longer serve us or our children. This episode is honest, powerful, and deeply needed.
