1) THE BEST THING THAT HAPPENED TO YOU IN THE PAST 12 MONTHS?

My daughter. She was born at home in August 2018 and is my biggest and best achievement yet!

2) THE WORST THING THAT HAPPENED TO YOU IN THE PAST 12 MONTHS?

Having a retained placenta during the third stage of my daughter's birth and the procedure to have it manually removed. Not at all pleasant, but in the grand scheme of things, it was and is nothing and I am SO thankful for the NHS in the UK.

3) YOUR BIGGEST WISH FOR THE NEAR FUTURE?

For all those who are dear to me to be happy and healthy, and for the work I do with the Becoming Women podcast to have a positive impact in one teenage girls life.

4) YOUR BIGGEST WORRY FOR THE NEAR FUTURE?

Losing someone I love, the political mess our country is in and thinking further ahead, what the world will be like when my daughter is the same age as me now.

5) A CONTEMPORARY WOMAN YOU CURRENTLY ADMIRE?

Gina Martin @ginamartin. She recently made upskirting in the UK illegal and is a brilliant role model for both women and men.

6) A ONE-SENTENCE MESSAGE TO OTHER WOMEN?

Learn to push yourself past the point you think you're ok, it teaches you you can do anything. I think we don’t realise how much strength and power we have within us.
