Podshape to launch Season 2 of More than just a Mum

Former Miss World Australia winner and Channel 7 presenter Courtney Thorpe is returning with a second season of the weekly podcast in which she tells her own story and talks to guests about how they’re More than just a Mum.

Courtney is a newly single mum after her public split from Gold Coast Titans and Queensland rugby league player Jarrod Wallace and is a loving step mum to his 2 daughters. Courtney is known for being raw, honest and sharing her experiences.

More than just a Mum is a very candid approach to pregnancy, babies, and the struggles of being a new Mum.

In the first episode of Season 2, Courtney opens up about her long battle with an eating disorder.

Throughout Season 2 she will chat with other mums and discuss a variety of topics including being a mum with a terminal illness, raising a niece because a sister is a drug addict and post-natal depression from the perspective of a mum and a psychologist.

Courtney wants to share her experiences and the highs and lows of being a modern-day mum in the hope that other mothers won’t feel alone.

Podshape co-founder and creator Katie Mattin says “Following the success of season 1 of More than just a Mum, we’re super excited for season 2. Courtney will be interviewing some inspirational mums who have faced challenges and are telling their stories to help others.”

Courtney says “Modern day motherhood can be so unbelievably isolating and lonely, so I am really hoping this podcast helps other mums to feel heard, supported and understood.”

“There is so much we keep to ourselves as mums and I think it’s time we break our silence, build our villages back up and show the world that we are more than just mums.”

Season 2 of More than just a Mum will be released February 27 and episodes will be available weekly on Spotify, Apple and all other podcast platforms.
