Brendan O'Connor · Frances Black - “A Woman’s Heart was the inspiration for the Spice Girls!” · 18 Jul 2026 podcast

To them, yeah.

And it was a song that I remember hearing after the day I had Owen, which was the 18th of November, 1980.

And there was a radio on in the ward and this song came on.

And, you know, it was called It's Bill Withers, Lovely Day.

So it really, because I was on such a high.

But then when I had Aoife a couple of years later, I brought in, I had a little Walkman and I made sure I had the Bill Withers song.

So the minute I had her, I was on a high for months and months and months after I had, because I never expected, I always felt I was unlucky up until I had my kids.

And but when I had own, I wanted a boy and I thought, oh, my God, this is like amazing.

I had this little boy.

And then when I was pregnant on Eva, I wanted a little girl.

So this song is like the high I felt after having both of my beautiful children that I'm so blessed to have.

When you're looking at these little beautiful creations, you know, and after, you know, I suppose the whole stigma around it, but then you look at this beautiful... How lucky was I, honestly, to be able to particularly keep Owen and there was never any pressure on me.

I was just...

So, so blessed.

And my heart goes out to all those women who had to give up their child and my heart and my every bit of me, my spirit, my soul, my mind is with them because I was so blessed, you know, and yeah, it was magical.

Yeah I mean I had you know now when I say like I myself and we ended up myself and I should get married but we were too young we were you know it was just the pressure of you know family dynamics and

And I think we got we started to separate when I was kind of my kids were very young.

And I think I struggled with that.

And life was tough.

We'd no money.
