Parenting Older Children, Identity & Rediscovering Yourself | Eliza Williams | Milk and Mummies

Motherhood evolves—and so do we. When actor, singer and writer Eliza Williams first joined Milk & Mummies, we spoke about the realities of balancing motherhood and a creative career while raising young children. This time, we’re revisiting the conversation from a completely different chapter. Eliza reflects on what motherhood looks like when your children become more independent. We explore the unexpected emotions of being needed differently, rediscovering your identity beyond constant caregiving, embracing ambition in midlife, and finding space to reconnect with yourself. Whether you’re navigating the newborn stage, the school years or watching your children grow into adults, this episode is a reminder that motherhood is never static—it continues to evolve, and so do the women living it. In this episode, we discuss: Raising older children and teenagers Rediscovering yourself after years of motherhood Identity beyond being “mum” Career, creativity and ambition in a new season of life Self-care when you finally have time for yourself The changing relationship between mothers and their children Advice for mums at every stage of motherhood If this conversation resonated with you, we’d love for you to follow the podcast, leave a review and share this episode with another mum who might need to hear it.
