Happy Mum Happy Baby

Becky Adlington

We have a 4-time Olympic medalist in the Happy Mum Happy Baby studio this week! Becky Adlington is Britain's most successful female Olympic swimmer, having won two gold medals at the Beijing 2008 olympics when she was just 19, and then two bronze in London 2012. Becky tells Gi that becoming a mum has brought out her softer side, plus shares the story of meeting her husband on a dating app.  She also opens up about the devastating loss of her baby daughter after she suffered a late-stage miscarriage. Trigger warning: this episode contains discussions around subjects including miscarriage and baby loss. If you feel this may be a difficult listen, please choose another episode. Hosted on Acast.

In the Happy Mum, Happy Baby Podcast, Giovanna Fletcher continues the conversation about motherhood she began in her bestselling book of the same title. In a series of frank and warm conversations with other high-profile mums and dads, Gi discusses all aspects of parenthood - the highs, the lows, the challenges and rewards. There is no such thing as the perfect parent, and we’re all simply doing our best, something Giovanna fully encourages. It’s time to stop comparing ourselves and champion each other instead. Each episode is truly unique yet unifying. No topic is out of bounds, therefore this podcast is essential listening for any parent seeking solidarity and support.
