The newest series spotlights local playgroups, children’s centres, baby-friendly classes, and small businesses—each one personally recommended by local mums. These aren’t just services – they are lifelines that make motherhood easier and more enjoyable. Every episode is packed with practical advice and heartwarming discussions, designed to help mums feel more confident, connected and supported in those early days.

Sarah knows firsthand how magical yet isolating new motherhood can be, and she has made it her mission to create resources that truly help. The Little Bean Podcast is like having a supportive friend in your ear – someone who understands, reassures, and brings you expert advice alongside real-life stories from fellow mums.

“I wanted to create something mums could turn to at any time—when they’re up feeding at 3am or out on a pram walk,” says Sarah. “Through honest conversations and expert guidance, my hope is that The Little Bean Podcast feels like a friend who truly understands.”
