Coming up on Happy Mom, Happy Baby.

At the height of my career to have my daughter, but have the level of, I feel like, abandonment, actually, the support just fell away.

There was no support in how I would transition from athlete into athlete mother.

It was like, this is performance over here and anything else does not exist.

I have felt guilty and I have felt bad that maybe I was not a good enough mother at that time

to Lauren because I was out of myself, out of my body. I was fast forwarding to getting back on the track,

to proving myself to everyone else.

I don't like the term geriatric mom.

I wanted to almost celebrate the fact that it can happen

and maybe don't fear it.

I wanted to turn that whole what seemingly could feel like a negative narrative into a positive one.

This episode is brought to you by our friends at Wild Nutrition, who are offering happy mum, happy baby listeners 50% off for three months.

Now, I don't know about you, but there are weeks when I feel like I am juggling

a million things at once. Work, school runs, family and the ever-growing to-do list. And looking

after myself, slips right to the bottom of the pile. Now, if that sounds familiar, you are not alone. That's why I am so pleased to share

today's sponsor, Wild Nutrition. They do supplements differently with their unique food-grown

approach, using nutrients that are as close to their original food form as possible. No synthetic fillers, just whole food bound goodness

that your body recognises and absorbs better.

I've been using their food-grown magnesium,

which has honestly made such a difference to how rested I feel.

It's become a bit of a bedside table staple,

helping me wind down, sleep more deeply and wake up feeling more like myself.
