S2 EP4 From a Mother and Baby Home to Motherhood: Karina's Story ( This episode includes discussion of adoption, mother and baby homes, sexual abuse and mental health)

jeudi 2 juillet 2026 • Durée 52:35

This week on Chaos with Karen and Ciara, we're honoured to be joined by Karina, who shares her extraordinary and deeply personal story.

Born in an Irish mother and baby home and adopted as a baby, Karina opens up about her journey of discovering her identity, meeting her birth mother, and the emotions that came with reconnecting with her past.

She also shares her path to becoming a mother herself, reflecting on pregnancy, birth and the overwhelming emotions of finally holding her own child after everything she had experienced.

Alongside her personal story, Karina talks candidly about her mental health, living with fibromyalgia and ongoing health challenges, and how these experiences led her to leave the corporate world and find purpose through holistic therapies, including sound healing and Reiki.

This is a heartfelt conversation about identity, resilience, healing and motherhood. It's a story of loss and love, of searching for answers, and of finding strength through life's most difficult moments.

Finally, we discuss an incredibly important topic for working mums: your rights during pregnancy and maternity leave. We talk about unfair dismissal, legal protections for pregnant employees, and why it's so important for women to know where they stand if they ever find themselves in a difficult situation

jeudi 30 avril 2026 • Durée 52:06

This week on Chaos with Karen and Ciara, we’re chatting about a mix of everything that comes with this stage of life — the overwhelm, the mental load, and the constant juggle.

We talk honestly about perimenopause and how it can show up in ways you don’t expect, from anxiety to feeling completely overstimulated. We also get into the guilt (and nerves) around going away without your children, solo trips, and why even the idea of a break can feel stressful.

We also chat about:

anxiety around flying and being away from your kids
road rage and those moments where your patience disappears
the added stress of having pets alongside a busy family life
reality TV as a bit of escapism when everything feels like a lot

And we also share some practical tips around returning to work while breastfeeding, including what to expect, how to prepare, and ways to make that transition feel a bit more manageable.

This is a real, honest conversation about the juggle — and trying to find small ways to cope in the middle of it all.

If you’ve ever felt like everything is just that bit harder lately, or you’re navigating going back to work with a baby, this one will resonate.

As always — no judgement, just honesty.
