Not Another Mummy Podcast

Sian Welby: Returning to work after 3 months, sharing parental leave and surviving the new mum identity shift


Listen Later

I'm joined on this episode by the brilliant Sian Welby - broadcaster, presenter, and one of the funniest, most energetic voices on morning radio. You'll probably know Sian from Capital Breakfast where she wakes up the nation alongside Jordan North and Chris Stark, and you might also recognise her from ITV1's This Morning and Lorraine.


But more recently, Sian became a mum to baby Ruby and in this episode, we chat about how becoming a mum has shifted her identity, what it was like returning to Capital Breakfast just three months after giving birth, and the shared parental leave setup she and her partner Jake have carved out.


Sian also talks honestly about the pressure that exists to 'snap back' to her pre-baby body, and why she's happy just focusing on family and work rather than her abs (whoop!).
