The New Leaf Podcast was created by Host Laetitia for new and working mums everywhere. Laetitia interviews women from a variety of industries, to share their journeys of what happened to their professional and personal identities when they had their babies, turned over their new leaf, and headed back to work - exploring the good, the bad .... and the ugly, with humour and vulnerability. By interviewing women from every possible industry, New Leaf’s mission is to revolutionise the way we look at pregnancy, birth and motherhood - taking the judgment, pressure and expectations out, and put the confidence back in, so that one day we can all say that it’s my motherhood, my choice - however you decide to do it. You can find Laetitia on twitter and instagram at @newleafpodcast if you want to continue the conversation, with the hashtag, #mymotherhoodmychoice New episodes every fortnight. Subscribe here at https://newleafpodcast.substack.com to access The Nutshell, a weekly write up of episodes, motherhood tips, tricks and tantrums, straight to you phone. Doing all of the Googling... so you don’t have to.

I found Helen through the Instagram algorithm (yep!) where her insanely colourful and vibrant photos kept popping up on my explore feed until I decided to do something about them....... as a #toddlermum myself, my world is light years away from teenagers and all the additional challenges that comes with them - orrrr..... so I thought . Helen corrected me on this one pretty quickly .....
Helen discusses her crazy journey to the blissfully rainbow world she now lives in, from managing 100+ London pubs as a 23 year old, to the brewing (and managing) of severe anxiety, to a gruelling #IVFjourney 16 years ago, to the incredible heartache that comes with unsuccessful medical intervention in fertility, to #PCOS, to saying #fuckit to everything to emigrate to Canada to be a ski instructor, to be given one more shot and be granted a baby , to #PPD / #PND - twice - and her incredible journey to finding her voice through her baby daughters voice to make a living through a highly successful blog, following and (recently!!) podcast Teenage Kicks (song now officially in my head until end of the day)
Quite apart from how obviously wise Helen is , she is also just out and out 50s glamorous goals tbh, who shows us that if we are really, really passionate about something - that we don’t have to put up with the 9-5 and can create our own colour
