Mothered is a podcast for anyone who is thinking about having, or not having, children.Long-distance besties Shelley from South Africa and Stelana from Cyprus share their personal experiences and insights in an open, honest, irreverent way that will hopefully make you think, laugh and feel less alone in the face of motherhood. Stelana is a new mom (after many adventures with infertility) and Shelley is happily child-free. We think that women have the right to do whatever they like without judgement and if this is something you’re thinking about doing, or not doing, then buckle up, we have some things to say!
