As Gracie’s first birthday approaches, I’m reflecting on the year that changed everything. In this episode, I open up about the emotions, the lessons, the surprises, and the little moments that have shaped me as a mum. From the milestones that made my heart burst to the challenges that taught me strength I didn’t know I had—this is a honest, heartfelt look back on our first year together.

If you’re a new mum, a parent-to-be, or simply love a good cosy chat, this one’s for you. 💛

From Self-Doubt to Self-Love: My Honest Journey of Building Body Confidence and Embracing My Post-Pregnancy Transformation

TW: Baby Loss, Grief, Pregnancy Trauma

If you are currently grieving or find this topic difficult, please take care in deciding whether to listen today. This episode was made with love, compassion, and the hope that no one walking this path ever feels alone.

In this deeply personal and emotional episode, I sit down with my friend Chloe to talk openly about an experience that no parent should ever have to face: the loss of a baby. With honesty, courage, and so much heart, Chloe shares her story—from the first moments of joy and anticipation, to the devastating reality of loss, and the long, winding journey through grief that followed.

Together, we explore what baby loss can look like in all its forms: the physical, emotional, and mental toll it takes, the loneliness that often surrounds it, and the quiet strength required to keep going. Chloe talks about the moments that broke her, the moments that helped her breathe again, and the small glimmers of hope she learned to hold onto. We also discuss the ways partners, family, and friends can support someone going through this unimaginable pain, and the importance of speaking out about experiences that are too often kept in the dark.

This episode isn’t just a conversation—it’s a space for anyone who has been touched by baby loss, whether directly or through someone they love. It’s a reminder that grief looks different for everyone, that there is no timeline for healing, and that there is no shame in the emotions that come with such a life-altering experience.
