“I landed on my baby”... how do you move past mum guilt when a nightmare becomes reality? - with Abi Draycott

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 mumBeing a first time parent and how bitter-sweet hindsight can beHow the intrusive thought so many new parents have became a reality and the terrifying moments that unfoldedHow guilt felt selfish and Abi’s strength in dealing with the accidentNavigating 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
