    Storme Diaries - Sophia Mantle - Ep.22

    Welcome back to Storme Diaries 🤍 This week I’m joined by my 22nd guest, Sophia, for a conversation about childhood, relationships, motherhood, fertility, miscarriage, body positivity, social media and the reality of following society’s expectations. Sophia opens up about her parents separating, breaking her femur on a school skiing trip and meeting her partner as a teenager. We talk about growing up together, clubbing at a young age and how their relationship has evolved as they’ve navigated life, parenthood and everything in between. We discuss how Sophia has followed what society often considers the “right” timeline — from working as an air hostess and travel agent to settling down and starting a family. But life doesn’t always go to plan, and ticking all the boxes doesn’t mean you won’t face unexpected challenges. Sophia shares the realities of having a partner with epilepsy, living with PCOS and navigating motherhood. We talk about her elective C-section, miscarriage and the heartbreaking experience of a baby being attached to her C-section scar. We also have honest conversations about the difficult decisions couples face when discussing whether to have more children, and the strain and pressure that raising a family can put on even the strongest relationships. Alongside the more emotional topics, we talk about body positivity, fashion and showing up authentically online. Sophia shares why she believes you don’t need a niche to create content, why you should be able to express different sides of your personality and the importance of being the same person online as you are in real life. This is a conversation about growing up, love, relationships, fertility, pregnancy loss, motherhood, identity and learning to live life on your own terms. 🤍 ✨ In this episode we discuss: • Her parents separating• Breaking her femur on a school skiing trip• Meeting her partner as a teenager• Growing up and evolving together• Clubbing at a young age• Following society’s expected life timeline• Working as an air hostess and travel agent• Navigating life with a partner who has epilepsy• PCOS and fertility• Her elective C-section• Miscarriage and pregnancy loss• The heartbreaking story of a baby attached to her C-section scar• Difficult conversations about having more children• The pressure children can put on a relationship• Protecting your relationship while raising a family• Body positivity and body confidence• Being authentic online and in real life• Why you don’t need a niche• Her love of fashion• Expressing yourself without fitting into a box• And everything in between 🤍 Sophia’s story is a reminder that life doesn’t always follow the timeline we’re taught to expect. You can build the life you imagined and still face challenges that change your perspective. Relationships involve difficult conversations, unexpected challenges and decisions that aren’t always easy. And behind what we see online, there is always so much more to someone’s story. You don’t have to fit into a box, follow someone else’s timeline or have everything figured out. You’re allowed to evolve, change direction and be unapologetically yourself. 🤍 If you enjoyed this episode, please like, comment, subscribe & share — your support genuinely helps Storme Diaries reach more people who might need to hear these stories. #StormeDiaries #PodcastUK #UKPodcast #RealStories #RealConversations #Motherhood #Relationships #PCOS #Fertility #Miscarriage #PregnancyLoss #CSection #ElectiveCSection #Epilepsy #BodyPositivity #Fashion #SocialMedia #Authenticity #MotherhoodUnfiltered #WomenSupportingWomen #HonestConversations #PodcastReels

    Storme Diaries - Emma-Jane Gallagher - Ep.21

    Welcome back to Storme Diaries 🤍 This week I’m joined by my 21st guest, Emma-Jane Gallagher, for a conversation about motherhood, fertility, birth trauma, NICU, social media, relationships and the reality of raising two babies just 364 days apart. Emma always knew she wanted to be a mum, but her journey to motherhood wasn’t the straightforward one she had imagined. After years of trying, she experienced an ectopic pregnancy, was diagnosed with polycystic ovaries and endometriosis, and eventually went through IVF before finally becoming a mum. Emma went on to have her two children just 364 days apart — navigating life as a mum of two under one and everything that comes with it. She opens up about the birth of her son, who arrived four weeks early via emergency C-section and was taken straight to NICU, leaving Emma without the experience she had imagined. One of the most emotional parts of the episode is hearing Emma talk about being taken to a ward where every other woman had their baby beside them, while hers had been taken away to NICU. The impact that had on her mentally and the trauma she carried from that experience is something that will stay with me. We also talk honestly about motherhood — the pressure to make it all look perfect, comparing yourself to other mums online, and the importance of showing the real and raw side of life. Emma has created an outlet for herself through social media, using it as a space where she can be completely herself and share the realities of motherhood without pretending everything is picture perfect. We talk about how admirable it is to build something for yourself while raising children, finding your own identity outside of being a mum and having a supportive husband beside you through it all. We also have a conversation about parenting without judgement — because none of us know what is happening behind someone else's front door. Every parent is doing things differently, and perhaps we could all be a little kinder to one another. This is a conversation about fertility, motherhood, birth trauma, NICU, mental health, social media, relationships, finding yourself again and the reality of raising two babies just 364 days apart. 🤍 ✨ In this episode we discuss: • Always knowing she wanted to be a mum • Years of trying to conceive • Ectopic pregnancy • Polycystic ovaries • Endometriosis • IVF • Becoming a mum • Two babies just 364 days apart • Life with two under one • Her birth experiences • Emergency C-section • Her second son being born four weeks early • NICU • The trauma of being separated from your baby • Being on a ward surrounded by women with their babies • The reality of motherhood • The pressure of “perfect” motherhood • Social media and comparison • Showing the real and raw side of life • Finding an outlet through social media • Building something while being a mum • Finding your identity outside of motherhood • Having a supportive husband • Parenting without judgement • Being kinder to other parents • The reality behind what we see online • And everything in between 🤍 Emma’s story is a reminder that motherhood doesn’t always look the way we imagined it would — and that there is so much more going on behind the photos, the posts and the highlight reels. It’s also a reminder that we never really know what someone else is going through. So perhaps we could all be a little less judgemental, a little more supportive and a lot kinder to each other. 🤍 If you enjoyed this episode, please like, comment, subscribe & share — your support genuinely helps Storme Diaries reach more people who might need to hear these stories.#StormeDiaries #PodcastUK #UKPodcast #RealStories #RealConversations #EmmaJaneGallagher #Motherhood #MumLife #TwoUnderTwo #TwoUnderOne #NICU #NICUMum #BirthTrauma #EmergencyCSection #CSection #IVF #Infertility #EctopicPregnancy #Endometriosis #PCOS #PolycysticOvaries #FertilityJourney #MotherhoodUnfiltered #RealMotherhood #HonestMotherhood #Postpartum

    Storme Diaries - Frankie & Lily - Ep. 20

    Welcome back to Storme Diaries 🤍 This week I’m joined by my 20th guests, Frankie & Lily — my first ever friend duo — for a conversation about friendship, growing up, motherhood, mental health, relationships and everything in between. Frankie & Lily have known each other since they were young, growing up as neighbours but coming from very different home lives. One grew up in a quiet household, while the other grew up in complete chaos — and as children, they would often find themselves wanting to experience each other’s lives. As they got older, life took them both down very different paths. They experienced their parents separating, became young mums, navigated complex family relationships and faced challenges that neither could have imagined when they were children. Lily opens up about having a dad who struggled with heroin addiction, being diagnosed with ADHD, borderline personality disorder. While Frankie shares her experiences with, autism, PND, depression and health anxiety. We also talk about relationships, co-parenting, being in a same-sex relationship, therapy and the different ways we learn to cope with everything life throws at us. During lockdown, the two of them decided to turn their friendship into something bigger and created a Facebook group called Girls Who Support Girls — a community built around women supporting, encouraging and lifting each other up. Their friendship has been through so much, and throughout the episode you can see exactly why they’ve remained such an important part of each other’s lives. This is a conversation about friendship, childhood, motherhood, mental health, healing, relationships, resilience and the people who stay beside you through every version of yourself. 🤍 ✨ In this episode we discuss: • Growing up as neighbours • Growing up in very different households • Wanting to experience each other’s lives • Parents separating • Becoming young mums • Growing up with a parent struggling with heroin addiction • ADHD & autism • Borderline personality disorder • PND & depression • Health anxiety • Therapy & mental health • Motherhood & co-parenting • Same-sex relationships • Friendship through different stages of life • Creating Girls Who Support Girls during lockdown • Supporting other women • Learning to cope with difficult experiences • The importance of having people around you • And everything in between 🤍 Frankie & Lily’s story is a reminder that friendships can grow alongside you through every chapter of life — the good, the bad and everything in between. Sometimes the people who knew you when you were young are the same people who understand you best as you grow into who you are. 🤍If you enjoyed this episode, please like, comment, subscribe & share — your support genuinely helps Storme Diaries reach more people who might need to hear these stories. #StormeDiaries #PodcastUK #UKPodcast #RealStories #RealConversations #Friendship #FemaleFriendship #Motherhood #MumLife #YoungMum #MentalHealth #ADHD #Autism #BPD #BorderlinePersonalityDisorder #PND #PostnatalDepression #Depression #HealthAnxiety #Therapy #CoParenting #SameSexRelationship #GirlsWhoSupportGirls #WomenSupportingWomen #MentalHealthAwareness #FriendshipGoals #MotherhoodUnfiltered #LifeStories #UnfilteredConversations #RealTalk #StrongWomen #PodcastReels

Faye opens up about becoming a young mum and how having her baby at 17 completely changed her life. She shares her experience of an orgasmic birth, navigating motherhood, and eventually separating from her child’s dad.We talk about Faye’s spiritual awakening and how it led her down a completely different path — from healing and manifestation to pattern healing and conspiracy theories, and questioning so much of what she had previously believed. Faye also opens up about being in a controlling relationship, recognising patterns in her life and learning how to break them. She talks honestly about living with PMDD, struggling with a scarcity mindset and the impact this can have on how you see yourself, your life and what you believe is possible.But perhaps one of the most interesting parts of Faye’s story is where she is now.

    Storme Diaries - Amber Bowyer Ep.18

    Welcome back to Storme Diaries 🤍 This week I’m joined by my 18th guest, Amber, for a conversation about growing up too soon, breaking cycles and completely changing the script for you and your children. Amber grew up in a broken home on a council estate, having to become independent and grow up before her time. She completed a hairdressing course at school before becoming pregnant at just 17, and in many ways, Amber feels like she did life the other way around. Now her children are older, and their relationship has evolved into something incredibly special — they’re not just her children, they’re her best friends. 🤍 Amber opens up about being in a toxic relationship while her children were unhappy, and the moment she realised something had to change. She shares her journey into spirituality, including her experience with plant medicine, and how it became part of a much bigger journey of healing, growth and finding herself again. She talks openly about her comeback, her determination to create a better life for herself and her children, and her desire to break the patterns she grew up with and create a completely different future. This is a story about resilience, motherhood, spirituality, healing, breaking cycles and becoming the person you were always meant to be. ✨ In this episode we discuss:• Growing up on a council estate• Coming from a broken home• Having to grow up before her time• Becoming pregnant at 17• Doing life the other way around• Motherhood & raising older children• Toxic relationships• Knowing when it’s time to change• Spirituality & personal growth• Plant medicine• Healing and finding yourself• Breaking generational cycles• Creating a better future for your children• The power of a comeback• Attracting the right people & energy• Changing the future and rewriting the script• And so much more 🤍 Amber’s story is a reminder that where you come from doesn't have to determine where you're going.
