Chapter 4: What does Robin's journey of resilience and motherhood look like?

56.242 - 69.962 Unknown

I lay on that floor in my walk-in wardrobe and I cried and I cried. And then I just thought, no one's coming. No one's going to come and sweep you up and drive you off.

Chapter 5: How did Robin's experiences influence her writing process?

70.162 - 81.439 Unknown

Like, get up, girl. Get your big girl pants on and start moving because those kids need you and you need to be okay. You need to believe you're okay.

Chapter 6: What role does honesty play in Robin's public persona?

86.217 - 108.734 Robin Bailey

If you've ever listened to her on the radio, and you might not even realise that you have, you'll know what I mean. She's warm, she's funny, she's incredibly open. She has this way of making people feel like they're not alone. And now she's written a memoir, Flamingo's Aunt Born Pink, which tells the story of her life.

Chapter 7: How did Robin's relationship with Sean evolve through grief?

109.275 - 129.513 Robin Bailey

It's a life that's been shaped by some extraordinary highs and some very, very, very deep losses. Robyn lost her father when she was a child. Years later, her first husband took his own life. And then after finding love again, she lost her second husband to cancer.

Chapter 8: What insights does Robin share about finding joy after loss?

130.034 - 160.116 Robin Bailey

So I wanted to sit down with Robyn and really understand how she's lived through all of that, how she's raised her boys through it, and how she's found her way back to joy. Because this conversation isn't just about grief, It's about resilience and what it takes to keep going through repeated life-altering loss and who you become on the other side of it. This is Robyn Bailey.

Thank you.

179.424 - 208.947 Robin Bailey

I know you'll have no problem with the No Filter part of No Filter. No. Because I have just read your extraordinary book. Oh, my goodness. Extraordinary memoir. Flamingos Aren't Born Pink, My Family's Story of Healing Hope and Living Life in Colour. And you just missed actually me gassing you up to Brie, our producer, because I was saying I was like going to do a –

208.927 - 226.349 Robin Bailey

as I always do if someone's written a book, I always read the book. But sometimes you read and sometimes you like reading for context or whatever. I read, read, read this book. And this morning when I finished it, I was howling, howling.

226.369 - 243.015 Unknown

Oh. Kate, you're only the third person outside of the process who has actually given me honest feedback, apart from my mum, but my mum loves it and loves me and loves my children. So thank you. That's just amazing.

244.037 - 279.047 Robin Bailey

It's so frank, as in points to be alarming. Yeah. Like it really is, but it also encompasses really eloquently your life journey and what it has entailed and what it is that you've experienced that is, I think, unique to you, the grief that you have known and a word that's used a lot, resilience.
