The reality of motherhood is filled with deep love and hope, yet it often carries quiet, unseen struggles. From burnout and self‑imposed expectations to the courage it takes to ask for help, it is a journey that stretches the mum in you in unexpected ways.
In this special episode on motherhood, June speaks with two mothers at different stages of life. Jasmine Goh, married for 27 years, reflects on raising two young adult sons. Adelene Chan, married for 15 years, shares her experience of parenting three young children.
Together, they explore what the process of becoming a better mum truly looks like—not through perfection, but through growth, self‑compassion, and kindness. Their stories remind us that being “good enough” often means letting go, caring for ourselves, and choosing presence over unrealistic ideals. Above all, this conversation offers gentle reassurance: you are learning, you are growing, and you are not alone.
