    “From Army Life to Motherhood: A Journey Through Twins, Law, and Loss”

    In this episode, we sit down with Cheryl Forde a former British Army officer turned twin mum whose life has been shaped by discipline, study, caregiving, and profound transition. After 15 years in the Army (Royal Military Police and Army Welfare Service), she left military life following the birth of her twin girls in 2022. What followed was a complete shift in identity — from servicewoman to full-time mother navigating the intense early years of twin parenting. She speaks openly about experiencing postnatal PTSD and anxiety following a traumatic birth, and the support she found through EMDR therapy. Alongside motherhood, she continued to pursue her academic and professional ambitions — completing a law master’s degree and the Bar Practice Course while raising her twins, later beginning pupillage as she stepped into the early stages of becoming a barrister. Her parenting journey has been intentional and deeply considered, shaped by attachment-based choices including breastfeeding, co-sleeping, cloth nappies, and a gentle approach to early childhood. She also shares her current reflections on education choices as her daughters approach school age. More recently, life has taken another unexpected turn, as she is currently taking time away from work following the sudden loss of her partner. In this conversation, she reflects on identity, resilience, and what it means to keep moving forward when life does not go to plan. This is a powerful conversation about strength, transition, and rebuilding a life across multiple chapters. Connect with Cheryl @cheryl_forde759
