Listen Later

Welcome to a brand new miniseries of the Netmums Podcast: Cloud 9 is brought to you by the award-winning baby range Aldi Mamia. Hosted by Louise Burke, the editorial director of Netmums, this series is designed for those quiet, early hours when you’re feeding or rocking your little one and feeling like you’re the only one awake. Join us as we delve into the highs, lows, and everything in between of new motherhood.

In this episode we’re joined by actress, mum of three, and all-round lovely human Lacey Turner, best known for her nearly two decades on EastEnders. Lacey recently welcomed her third baby, a little girl named Gipsy Olive, and she joins us to chat about life in her busy household; the beautiful chaos, the sleepless nights, and the lessons she’s learned along the way. Lacey opens up about the reality of motherhood with three small children and her decision to step back from acting. She reflects on mum guilt, finding moments of calm, and the importance of carving out time for herself amidst the noise of family life (and the chickens!).

In this episode:
  • The joy and chaos of welcoming a third baby
  • How Lacey manages sleepless nights and the juggle of three little ones
  • Finding small, meaningful moments of calm and connection
  • Letting go of guilt and embracing “good enough” parenting
  • The importance of time outdoors, community, and self-care
  • Why Lacey chose to step away from EastEnders to focus on family life

  • There are six brilliant episodes in this special series featuring some of your favourite celebrity mums including Olivia Bowen, Lacey Turner, actress Lucy Fallon and Charlotte Dawson. Each episode brings a completely different kind of conversation about early motherhood – new voices, new experiences, and new truths, all of which reminds us that there’s no one way to do this.

    This episode is sponsored by Aldi Mamia, the award-winning baby range loved by parents.
    Netmums – where real parents share the chaos and the comfort, so you know you’re not in it alone. Follow us on socials @Netmums and website:netmums.com
