Mums At The Table has launched a brand new podcast, offering listeners an honest and heartfelt look at life’s complexities.
Life in the Grey is a micro-podcast hosted by Melody Tan, project manager of Mums At The Table, and Faith Toh, a content producer. The monthly podcast promises to delve into the messy, beautiful and nuanced “grey areas” of life—where emotions, relationships and parenting all collide.
“Life is messy and that’s okay,” says Ms Tan. “We want to create a space where listeners feel seen, heard and inspired to embrace the complexities of their own lives. It’s a podcast not just for mums, but anyone interested in exploring the psychological factors that shape our relationships, be that as a parent, a partner or a peer.”
The concept behind Life in the Grey is simple yet profound: Life isn’t black or white. Through candid conversations, personal stories and a touch of humour, the hosts will explore topics such as childhood experiences of judgement, the pressures of modern parenting and strategies for emotional resilience.
“This isn’t about finding easy answers,” adds Ms Toh. “It’s about asking the right questions and holding space for the in-between moments. We’re here to share raw, real conversations that make our listeners think, laugh and maybe even heal.”
Drawing from their own experiences as lifelong learners, Ms Tan and Ms Toh aim to offer relatable insights without preaching or judgement. Each podcast episode will be less than 20 minutes long, to target those with busy lives.
“This is a really exciting development in the Mums At The Table ministry. Our goal has always been to equip women to become the mums they’ve always wanted to be through education and community. Podcasting is another way in which we can support mums through a digital community,” said Ms Tan.
The first episode of Life in the Grey will be available on February 3, 2025, across major podcast platforms, including Spotify, Apple Podcasts and YouTube. Listeners can also tune in via the Mums At The Table website, where additional resources and episode notes will be available.
