Do Not Disturb · The Inside Story

Motherhood changes the conversation.

I’m Simona Deifta. I ask women what motherhood changed: their work, their relationships, their money and how they see themselves.

What I want to know.

I started Do Not Disturb because I wanted to hear what happens to a woman’s ambitions when motherhood becomes part of the story.

I want to know who helped, what it cost, what went wrong and what they would do differently.

We record in hotel rooms and talk about the things women are often expected to keep to themselves.

01 · Do

Make space for the truth.

Listen to what women protect and prioritise.

02 · Not

Settle for the polished answer.

Ask about the work and trade-offs behind it.

03 · Disturb

Question the old script.

Challenge the rules women are expected to live by.
