About Us

Supporting, inspiring and empowering women through their journey of motherhood About Us

What and Why?

Mum Talks is an events company that supports, inspires, and empowers women through their journey of motherhood with in-person and online meet-ups, events, talks, and workshops.

Mum Talks provides a safe, and supportive network for mums so they know they’re not alone, can learn from experts and check in with others who are going through the same experience and reality of motherhood.

Mum Talks was created eight years ago. Inspired by her own experiences of early motherhood, Lucy O’Driscoll Edge realised that while there were countless activities centred on the baby, very little existed to truly support the mum herself and acknowledge the huge transition a woman goes through when she becomes a mother.
