In this heartfelt episode, Kiera opens up about the emotional rollercoaster of her firstborn, Lincoln, turning seven.
What started as a birthday celebration quickly became a moment of reflection—looking back at the tiny baby who made her a mum, the sleepless nights, the overwhelming love, and the journey that has brought them both to this chapter.
Kiera shares the unexpected grief that can come with watching your child grow up. Not because you're sad they're thriving, but because every milestone means saying goodbye to a version of them you'll never get back. The baby who needed you for everything. The toddler who held your hand everywhere you went. The little boy who once fit perfectly in your arms.
But alongside the grief is immense pride—watching Lincoln grow into his own person, seeing his confidence, kindness, and personality shine, and realizing that the goal was never to keep him little forever.
If you're in the thick of newborn life, this episode is also for you. Kiera reflects on what she wishes she could tell herself as a first-time mum and shares encouragement for those currently navigating sleepless nights, endless feeds, and wondering if they're doing enough.
