Summary
This week we’re joined by Aimee Vivian, Capital radio presenter, for an episode that’s honest, hilarious, and deeply moving in equal measure.
Aimee opens up about the reality of juggling life as a busy freelance radio presenter and a mum, and the not-so-quiet noise of judgmental opinions when she chose to go back to work sooner than some thought acceptable!
She speaks candidly about trusting your instincts, blocking out the noise, and doing what works for your family, and the conversation takes a turn as she opens up about her terrifying near-death experience following childbirth.
It's a stark reminder of just how serious postnatal complications can be, and why mums need to be heard.
And because this is Made by Mammas, it wouldn’t be complete without a bit of chaos would it?! Prepare to meet Georgia's gorgeous puppy Quincy, who makes his podcast debut and can absolutely be heard making his feelings known!
