Explore every episode of the podcast No Taboo Mom Podcast

What does it really mean to become a mother? In this raw and honest first episode, we—Ewa and Julia—share the unfiltered truth about the love, the chaos, and the complete identity shift that comes with motherhood. We talk about how unprepared we actually were, how much society sugarcoats the realities of parenting, and why the hardest part often begins after the birth. This is not a how-to guide or another polished version of motherhood. It's a conversation between two moms who are still figuring it out—and who want to say, out loud, the things many women feel but don’t always say. Whether you're a mom, a mom-to-be, or someone wondering if you're the only one struggling—this episode is for you. No filters. No taboos. Just real talk. NoTaboo.mom

Welcome to the No Taboo Mom Podcast! We’re Ewa Gillen, Founder & Creative Professional, and Julia Kolbe, Psychiatric Nurse & Healthcare Educator—but above all, we’re moms. Motherhood changed everything for us, and we quickly realized that too many important conversations around women’s health, motherhood, and identity are still overlooked or sugar-coated. That’s why we’re here. In this short intro episode, we introduce ourselves and share why we started this podcast—because we believe that real stories inspire real change. So grab a coffee, hit play, and join us on this journey. We can’t wait to share these conversations with you! No filters. No taboos. Just real talk.
