Have you ever said something and suddenly thought… “Oh no — I sound just like my mum”?

In this episode of Voice After 50, Beverley reflects on those funny, surprising, sometimes tender moments when our mother’s voice seems to slip into our own. From familiar phrases to borrowed tones and tiny habits we didn’t know we’d inherited, she explores what these echoes of our mums might say about identity, upbringing, and the way we care for others in midlife.

Whether your mother brings warm memories, complicated feelings, or a mixture of both, this episode offers gentle humour and thoughtful reflection on the parts of them we carry forward, sometimes without even realising it.

If you’ve ever caught yourself mid-sentence and smiled (or winced), you’ll feel right at home here.
