Kellie Bright on her fight for SEND support

Being able to share incredible stories is a huge reason why we do this podcast. Last year, Giovanna read Lifeblood: A Mother in Search of Hope by author and journalist Mina Holland. The book reveals Mina’s harrowing journey after learning her baby, Vida, was critically ill just two days before turning 12 weeks old. What unfolded next was nothing short of extraordinary. Now, Mina joins Gi to share her powerful story firsthand. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Leanne Quigley is back for part two of her extraordinary conversation - if you haven't already heard part 1 you can listen here. In this episode, Leanne opens up to Gi about her experience on The Traitors, including the emotional challenge of leaving her two young boys while filming. She also reflects on the life-changing moment after filming when her fiancée, Sophie, was diagnosed with stage three breast cancer. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

We’re hooked once again on the new series of The Traitors, so it felt only right that we sit down with Season 3 champion, Leanne Quigley for a chat on all things motherhood (and reality TV!) Leanne’s story is truly remarkable, and with so much to unpack we've divided this episode into two parts. In this first episode, Leanne opens up to Gi about her IVF journey with her partner Sophie, and the incredible moment they discovered they were expecting twins. She also shares the intense experience of giving birth three and a half months early, along with the challenges that followed and subsequent hospital visits. Tune in for part 2 this Thursday - you definitely won’t want to miss it! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
