  • **Please do more pods with normal people**

    Absolutely love the pod but would love you to do some episodes with normal people and how they juggle work/life/parenting etc and their interesting birth/parenting stories. For examples nurses, police officers, bankers etc.

Hannah Witton on Pregnancy with a Stoma: What It’s Really Like
Q: What was your experience like balancing pregnancy with a stoma and the medical team you relied on?
It required proactive communication with the IBD and stoma care teams, registering as a pregnant patient in the same hospital, and being prepared for bag changes as the body changed; having responsive support and clear logistics made the process feel manageable.
Default Parenting Hell with Lou Beckett
Q: What would you say in a letter to your children about motherhood?
I'd tell them it's all going to be okay and that whatever they feel in motherhood is okay. I'll be there for them but not to worry about how they cope.
Denise Van Outen on dating as a mum: “if they disapprove, you’ll know”
Q: Were you just completely sort of career driven and going, actually, my focus is on what I want to create?
Denise shares that she never had a game plan; she was happy performing and just wanted to be in a show, not seeking fame.
Denise Van Outen on dating as a mum: “if they disapprove, you’ll know”
