    I came across Sophie on Instagram, talking about enjoying life after escaping an abusive marriage. I love her openness in what she shares; her recovery, living in Mauritius and thriving after abuse. It was great to speak to another survivor Mama who speaks openly about her experience.

From 49 minutes 10 seconds to 53 minutes Sophie speaks about her experience of miscarriage (aka early pregnancy loss), and post-birth health issues which may be upsetting.
