Raw motherhood with special guest Ali Bastian

Welcome to Series 7! 

TRIGGER WARNING: please note this episode includes Ali’s experience of miscarriage and a very positive caesarean birth. 

Oh what a way to start a new series!  I recorded this podcast with Ali on Friday and we just knew it was one for your ears…NOW. This week I am talking with my cousin Ali, who you may know from your tv screen or on stage. Ali has stared in Hollyoaks, The Bill, Doctors, Chicago UK Tour on stage, many more AND on strictly come dancing in 2009 and she made it all the way through to the semi finals!!

Ali has just become a Mumma to baby Isla who is 7 weeks old and I couldn’t be happier for her and her husband David. Ali gave birth literally just before we went into lockdown and through this podcast shares with us her journey into motherhood. 

Todays podcast is raw, honest and my goodness contains, I don’t know what the word for it is…just MORE. Whenever Ali and I talk somehow we always end up going really deep. We wanted to say if you are resonating with some of what we are talking about (and you’ll know the parts I mean) do talk it through with someone, a professional or someone you trust. 

Just some of the topics we touch on include; pregnancy, miscarriage, relationships, hypnobirthing, birth, recovery, insight into the female acting world, challenges and fears. 

Also have your pen and paper ready as Ali mentions some of her favourite mum & baby products towards the end, a few I hadn’t heard of! 

You all know you can always drop me a line … in fact please do…let me know I’m not the only one with these thoughts. I love love hearing from you! DM me over on @mumtalkpodcast or @emmajaulin on instagram.

Love to you all
