What if motherhood wasn’t always beautiful—and we finally said it out loud?
In this bold, honest, and darkly funny episode of That’s Total Mom Sense, I sit down with actor, writer, and playwright Koel Purie Rinchet to talk about her provocative new play Mummy’s Dead, Long Live Mummy!—a satirical, unfiltered look at modern motherhood.
From her global career across film, television, and theatre to creating one of the most talked-about plays about motherhood today, Koel opens up about identity, exhaustion, reinvention, and the silent sisterhood of mothers.
We talk about:
• The myth of the “perfect mother”
• Why motherhood can feel isolating—even when universal
• Turning personal truth into powerful storytelling
• Her journey from actor to playwright
• Taking her work to global stages like the Edinburgh Festival
This is a conversation that will make you laugh, think, and feel seen.
