Becoming Mama: Episode 11 with Jade Darl!
This weeks guest is the gorgeous @jadedarl. She has a little boy called Theo and she’s currently pregnant with her second baby. She’s been very open about maternal mental health and she is also the most fashionable mama on insta! It was a very moving episode where Jade opened up about her miscarriage and the post natal depression she suffered with when Theo was a newborn. Our podcast is all about talking about parts of motherhood that aren’t discussed enough to hopefully make you feel less alone and I know Jade’s episode will bring comfort to a lot of mamas out there.
