Abi, mum of 3 and a friend of Sophie’s, is speaking with us about her story. In this very emotional and vulnerable episode, Abi describes her journey into motherhood, the day their world shifted after a fall devastatingly impacted their newborn and the family’s road to recovery. Despite everything, Abi’s sense of humour and optimism had us in awe! We discuss…

Moving from the UK to Australia and how to keep the grandparents involved
How an ADHD diagnosis transpired after becoming a mum
Being a first time parent and how bitter-sweet hindsight can be
How the intrusive thought so many new parents have became a reality and the terrifying moments that unfolded
How guilt felt selfish and Abi’s strength in dealing with the accident
Navigating their daughter’s recovery
When a random pregnancy test turned into their next big chapter (much earlier than expected!)
How life is now looking for Abi’s family
