Balancing the intense demands of being a mother with desperately wanting to continue as an artist can prove overwhelming for many new mums.

Auckland performer Sally Stockwell has lived through it and now sings about the experience in her new show, We've Got So Much To Talk About.

As well as singing and playing, Sally has worked extensively on stage and screen.

She brings all these skills to a show she describes as "an experimental mashup of electronic sound, song, movement and rebellion."

Sally explains to Lynn Freeman that, like most new mothers, she wasn't prepared for what was to come.

We've Got So Much To Talk About premieres at Auckland's Basement Theatre on Tuesday.
