About the show

IMAGE The Motherload is a space where modern motherhood is explored with honesty, humour and heart. Each week, join host Dominique McMullan as she invites inspiring mums you know and love to share stories, laugh at the chaos and dive into the real talk about working motherhood and everything it entails. Because let's be real - we hold hands, hold meetings, hold it together (sometimes brilliantly, sometimes barely) but we don't do it alone.
