Introducing my next guest, Charlotte

Charlotte joins me to share her honest motherhood journey, including her experience of gender disappointment during pregnancy, becoming a mum during lockdown, and the chaos of raising an energetic six-year-old boy.

We also talk about an unfortunate incident involving a pound coin that resulted in a trip to hospital and surgery to remove it!

This episode explores the guilt, the worry, the joy, and everything in between that comes with motherhood. It's a raw, relatable conversation that so many mums will connect with.

This week on Motherhood Honestly, I’m joined by Bex! Mum of two and founder of @babybexerciseuk . As she shares her honest journey through motherhood, pregnancy, birth and postpartum.

Bex opens up about feeling scared and completely unprepared during her first pregnancy, admitting she didn’t fully process becoming a mum until her baby was finally in her arms. During her second pregnancy, everything changed. She felt stronger, more empowered and passionate about showing other mums the importance of staying active, not just physically, but mentally too.

That passion led to the creation of Baby Bexercise.  A supportive space helping mums rebuild confidence, move their bodies and feel less alone in postpartum. After struggling with loneliness herself as the first of her friends to become a mum, she realised just how important community really is.

My next guests are… my crazy, hilarious best friends 🤍

With over 25 years of friendship, this one was a special one.

We talk about navigating our early days together to now stepping into a completely new journey… motherhood.

From real, unfiltered birth stories to the moments that somehow turn absolutely hilarious when you look back.

And Alice’s there too, not as a mum, but as someone who’s been right by our sides through it all. We get into what it’s like watching your best friends become mothers, and how that shapes you as well.

It’s honest, emotional, and full of laughs… because sometimes you just have to laugh at it all.

Introducing my next guest… Emma 🤍

Emma’s story is one of unimaginable loss, strength, and resilience. She went into labour at just 24 weeks with her twin boys, and heartbreakingly, one of her babies didn’t make it. His name was Charlie.

In this episode, she opens up about the raw early days of grief, the time spent in NICU, and how she found the strength to keep going through it all. Her journey is deeply moving, and a powerful reminder of just how strong a mother can be.

Emma also shares how, after everything, she later welcomed her beautiful little girl,  a moment filled with so much love, hope, and healing.

Part 2 of our story takes you into life after birth, the moments that weren’t captured in photos.

We talk about the reality of those early days with Olivia, the emotional disconnect, the anxiety, and the impact postnatal depression had on our lives.

This episode is a raw and honest look at what motherhood looked like behind closed doors, and how I found my way through it.

This podcast was created from real life. The messy moments, the beautiful moments, the parts of motherhood that people don’t always talk about.

For the very first episode, I wanted to start at the beginning… our story. So I’m joined by someone very special — my husband — as we talk about how it all started, becoming parents, and how much life has changed since welcoming Olivia.

Motherhood has changed me in ways I never expected. And Motherhood Honestly is a space where we can talk about it all — the love, the chaos, the struggles, and everything in between.
