“I HATED PREGNANCY”: Mum Guilt, Messy Buns & Motherhood Realness

In this episode Francesca & Wallis are joined by the fabulous Charley Webb, armed with sparkling laughter, motherly misadventures, and zero filter. Between messy buns, school runs, and mothering mayhem, Charley gets real about everything from hating pregnancy, navigating the emotional challenges of postnatal life, and mum guilt, to balancing fame, privacy, and parenting boys who don’t always play nice.

Topics include: the low moments of postpartum struggle, dealing with accusations nobody should face, neurodiversity quirks, and finding balance in the absolute chaos of life as a working mum. Charley shares her experiences with honesty and care, reminding listeners that it’s okay to feel low and that seeking support is a sign of true strength.

Between laughter, “oh-no” parenting moments, and real talk about mental health, the ladies also dish on staying grounded, embracing your unique self, and celebrating the friendships that keep us afloat.
