About this episode

Kelsey Parker and Phoebe Tomlinson discuss the challenges of motherhood, grief, and the impact of public scrutiny.

This week Kelsey Parker sits down with Phoebe Tomlinson for an honest, funny and emotional chat about motherhood, grief and growing up in the public eye. Phoebe gets real about becoming a mum at 20, the trolling that hit the moment she announced her pregnancy, and the "teen mum" stereotype she still battles. Then it goes deeper: losing her mum at 12 and her sister at 16, why she'll always be honest with Olive, signs from loved ones, and the eerie moment Olive recognised her late nan from a photo. Plus the lighter stuff: the Christmas debate, twin life, and nursery fees that'll make your eyes water. Grab a cuppa and get comfy. A Create Podcast Hosted on Acast.
