Episode notes

In the fifth episode of their new podcast Starting Over, Keavy joins Edele, Sinead and Lindsay for the first time as the girls talk about motherhood!

Keavy has just had twins and talks about how she's been in lockdown for over a year because of her pregnancy. She's experiencing all of the normal things that you go through when you have a new baby, like the lack of sleep - but because of the pandemic, it's been a very different experience to normal (only a handful of people have met the new babies so far, and her parents may not even meet them until after their first birthday).

All of the girls are Mum's, and they talk about what is expected of mothers and the pressures that Mum's can sometimes feel. You're bombarded with information... Everyone has their own opinion on how to be a parent... But the girls talk about how you can choose to be the mother you want to be, and how you shouldn't put too much pressure on yourself at what can be a really vulnerable time.

They also talk about how you can feel a loss of identity when you become a new Mum, and how it can be difficult to achieve balance in your life as a whole. As always, they're open, they're honest and they hope that this podcast helps you if you're going through a tough time.
