🦩In this powerful and beautiful episode, we sit down with the inspiring Kara Heriot –co- founder of Mum Talks, a safe and honest space for mums to connect beyond nappies and night feeds.Kara shares her extraordinary journey: from wild adventures in London nightclubs to the raw realities of miscarriage, IVF, and the heartbreak of secondary infertility. She speaks candidly about the joy of pregnancy (yes, even when vomiting on the motorway!), the grief of letting go of the dream of a family of four, and the challenge of watching friends grow their families while she faced repeated loss.And just when she thought she'd weathered the storm, her husband was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer – a diagnosis that turned their world upside down. Miraculously, ten years on, he's doing well on a treatment that continues to work.Through it all, Kara lost – and found – her "pink feathers," her sense of self, joy, and purpose. She opens up about learning to stop people-pleasing, choosing to be happy despite uncertainty, and finally giving herself permission to put her own well-being first.This is a story of resilience, reinvention, and the fierce love that shapes us.A must-listen for anyone navigating the complexities of motherhood, grief, and personal transformation.Mum Talks was founded by Kara Heriot and Lucy O’Driscoll Edge . It provides a safe, and supportive network for mums so they know they’re not alone, can learn from experts and check in with others who are going through the same experience and reality of motherhood.For more information see here - https://mumtalks.ie/ Hosted on Acast.
