The Comeback Era with Keira Rumble

Keira Rumble is known for building a wellness empire but in this episode, she shares a side of motherhood she’s never really spoken about publicly before. We go beyond the “fourth trimester” chat and into the real part: when the newborn fog lifts, life gets busy again, and you suddenly realise… you don’t fully recognise yourself. Keira opens up about the identity shift after babies, body changes and confidence, intimacy and feeling like yourself in your skin again and what actually helped her start coming back.
