🌸This episode Cressida and Isabella are joined by best-selling Scottish poet and author Donna Ashworth.

🌸Donna opens up about her son’s autism and ADHD diagnoses and what they’ve taught her about embracing different ways of experiencing the world. She reflects on how humans have lost touch with their instincts and shares tips on how to look within ourselves for answers. Plus, she discusses how to cope with the loss of a mother. 

🌸Join Cressida Bonas and Isabella Branson as they explore how maternal figures have shaped the lives of their guests. Each episode delves into the valuable lessons they’ve carried forward, those they’ve left behind, and the profound impact their maternal figures have had throughout their lives.
