Episode notes
When Sarah Brown moved into 10 Downing Street when her husband Gordon became Prime Minister she didn’t think her life would change that much. Afterall, she’d already been living next door at number 11 for the previous ten years. But her life did change in ways she didn’t expect. Sarah talks about what living behind the big black door, was like both in the role of Prime Minister’s wife and as the Mum of two small children.
Since that time Sarah has been busy campaigning for the children’s charity she founded. Theirworld aims to give children from all over the world the best possible start in life, whatever their circumstances.
Sarah also talks about the importance of finding her own voice and how she overcame her fear of public speaking.
We also talk about grief and loss. Sarah and Gordon’s baby girl Jennifer died at just 10 days old. Sarah has some heartfelt advice for anyone going through a similar situation.
