This week, the Mother Tongue ladies are joined by presenter, DJ, model, activist, empowerment coach and new mama to gorgeous Alfie.

Ashley talks openly and honestly about her motherhood journey so far, sharing her love for breastfeeding, how she wasn't maternal, and the worry she felt over not connecting with her baby. Yet, since having Alfie, she tells us how her love grows daily for him and that being a mother has brought her so much joy. 

She speaks courageously offering her opinion about parents who give unsolicited advice, 'The just you wait mums', often causing unnecessary worry to new mums, rather than empowering other women. Ashley explains she prefers to use her platform to support other woman and give more positive, uplifting advice.
