This week, Charlotte is joined by her best friend Vicky, who is also Sophie’s godmother.

Together they talk about their friendship, Vicky’s memories of Sophie and what it means to support someone you love through unimaginable grief – including navigating the moments when there simply aren’t any words that can make things better.

It’s a very personal conversation about friendship, grief, memories, laughter and the people who stay beside you through it all. 💛

In Episode 12, Charlotte is joined by Stevie, mum to Jamie, Jackson and Summer, to talk about her experiences of life as a NICU mum.

Charlotte and Stevie also talk about something that can often be overlooked - life after NICU. From finally bringing your baby home to adjusting to a new normal, Stevie reflects on how the experience can stay with you long after you leave the hospital.

A heartfelt conversation about NICU, motherhood, family and everything that comes afterwards. 💛
