Hoppers Crossing mother Holly Brunnbauer has launched a podcast featuring Melbourne mums.

Last year Ms Brunnbauer, who has two sons, started a blog called Motherhood Melbourne where she shares the stories of other mothers.

“I wanted to provide an opportunity where everyday Melbourne mums could contribute their story to heal, be heard and to help others who have had a similar experience,” she said.

Ms Brunnbauer said that through her blog, and the many amazing mothers she had met, she had also been inspired to begin her own podcast, called Mamas on a Mission.

The weekly podcast, which launches this month, features interviews with Melbourne mothers who are, in some way, helping to improve the lives of other parents.

Ms Brunnbauer said she began listening to podcasts after the birth of her first son, while she was alone at home for long periods of time.

“Podcasts fulfilled my need for adult interaction that I was missing as a new mum,” she said.

“It’s so important that mothers, especially first-time mums, have positive and remarkable mums to draw inspiration from.”

Mamas on a Mission is available free via Apple podcasts (previously known as iTunes), Stitcher Radio or by visiting www.motherhoodmelbourne.com.au
