UNMUTE Season Three: MOTHERS WHO HEAL
​​UNMUTE: MOTHERS WHO HEAL is being able to lean on each other.
​
UNMUTE: MOTHERS WHO HEAL is a conversation built around stories, not advice. It’s not about fixing anything or putting labels on how we feel, but about listening to real stories that show what it actually looks like to struggle, to fall apart, to ask for help, and to realise that even if we fall apart alone, we don’t have to get back up on our own.
​
Mothers who feel stuck, mothers who feel worn out, and mothers who reached a point where something had to be said and done, UNMUTE: MOTHERS WHO HEAL brings these #bravenewvoices and amplifies their stories because every story matters.
​
From mothers who are dealing with loss, to mothers who are feeling anxious, exhausted, overwhelmed, or stuck, each story shared on the stage of UNMUTE: MOTHERS WHO HEAL adds depth to the conversation and reminds us why being able to come together, to share our stories together, and heal together, matters.
​
​​UNMUTE has never been about getting it right or having all the answers. UNMUTE is about being real, about saying “this is where I am,” “this is what I need” and it’s the magic of realizing that we are not alone.
​
What’s your story?​

It's time to UNMUTE!

THE CONVERSATION
Brave New Voices.
Unfiltered Conversations On:
HOLDING IT TOGETHER OR FALLING APART
The pressure to be strong, to be OK, and the invisible load of who we’re expected to be, and what happens when keeping it together stops working
​
THE MYTH OF THE “GOOD” MOTHER
Where it came from, how it shows up, and why so many mothers feel like they’re failing when they’re doing their best.
​
FROM HOLDING IT IN TO LETTING IT OUT
How healing is not a straight line and we move back and forth between coping and healing, between strength and vulnerability, and what it means to finally say “this is hard".
WHAT WE NEED IN THE MOMENT
What helps us get through the hard days, and what helps us move forward when we’re ready. What we need is not always answers, and it rarely looks the same from one season to the next. Sometimes it’s rest. Sometimes it’s space. Sometimes it’s just being heard.
FROM FALLING ALONE TO RISING TOGETHER
Many mothers go through hard moments alone and in silence. But what changes when we find our village, when we share our stories, and when we stop trying to do it on our own?

THE CURATOR
Clinical Psychologist
Nusrat Khan
I come to UNMUTE Season Three wearing two identities that deeply inform my work. I am a clinical psychologist, and I am a mother who knows how profoundly motherhood can reopen old wounds.
My own journey into motherhood brought unexpected reckonings. Physical health challenges, the resurfacing of childhood trauma, and the intense pressure to “get it right” as a mother. And at a time when I needed support most, I was instead questioned, even told I wasn’t fit to be a mother.
What followed was not a linear healing story, but a long and unfolding one. One that involved sitting with fear, doing the inner work, and slowly learning that healing does not happen in isolation.
I am a firm believer in community and the healing power it holds, and my work is rooted in one simple belief: healing becomes possible when mothers share their stories.
UNMUTE feels like a natural home for that belief. And for me, UNMUTE: Mother Who Heal, is about creating a shared safe space where those stories can be told and heard with love, honesty, and care, in a community that understands healing doesn’t happen alone.
CALL FOR STORIES
​UNMUTE is shaped by the stories that come from the community, and the voices on the UNMUTE stages are mothers from the community, sharing their stories, real, raw, unfiltered. That's why every UNMUTE conversation begins with listening.
​
For UNMUTE: Mothers Who Heal, we are currently listening.
​
We are collecting stories that will shape the conversation, and the voices on the UNMUTE: Mothers Who Heal stage will grow from the stories mothers choose to share.
​
If motherhood has brought moments of struggle, exhaustion, loss, healing, or uncertainty, your story has a place here.
​​
This is not about having the right words.
This is about being heard
And not carrying it alone.​
​
This space is for mothers at different stages and seasons of life, whether you are new to motherhood, parenting on your own, balancing work and caregiving, or navigating something difficult, your story belongs here. If your journey includes struggle, exhaustion, loss, or healing, your story belongs here.
​
And if you’re not sure you have a “story” yet, that’s okay too, you can share what you’re going through right now, what’s been on your mind lately. Just start where you are, and we will meet you there. ​
