Grace Victory on Surviving a Coma and Speaking Her Truth

Grace Victory on Surviving a Coma and Speaking Her Truth

This week, Zoe and Georgia sit down with writer, activist and content creator Grace Victory for an incredibly powerful conversation. Grace shares the story of catching Covid while pregnant, being placed in a coma for three months and waking up to a six-month-old son she'd never properly met. She talks about coma dreams, recovery, learning to walk and talk again and what it really took to come back from it. They also discuss parenting through trauma, regulating your own emotions before you can regulate your kids' and Grace's decision to write openly about her abortion after the birth of her second child. Trigger warning: this episode contains discussion of critical illness, near-death experience and abortion.  Grace’s Product Picks La Roche-Posay Anthelios UVMune 400 Invisible Fluid Non-Perfumed Suncream SPF50+ [https://www.boots.com/la-roche-posay-anthelios-uvmune-400-invisible-fluid-spf50-50ml-10306562?srsltid=AfmBOoo8Mey8RaMrRA1n1qe8aJwvsFBNDDvc4KA20NIY5Bgpzzbx5I96] Rhode - peptide lip treatment [https://www.rhodeskin.com/en-gb/products/peptide-lip-treatment?srsltid=AfmBOopESVFTLqptBxYQ-LJdIP82UnSiniYkzt1JazVgCzgxttgj2kdN] Medicube Collagen Night Wrapping Mask [https://www.boots.com/medicube-collagen-night-wrapping-mask-75ml-10361900?srsltid=AfmBOorbXEvyXGxn6VMEwiiHZv57MNV3sz74wPFZZbAr3_jAYqnYCohd] Emma Spring Bank Holiday Sale is live!

Dr. Tara on Sex, Connection & Long-Term Relationships

Dr. Tara is back! She's sitting down with Zoe to talk about why women can sometimes stop wanting sex and why it's rarely about stress, hormones or the kids. What "awakened men" are doing differently. And why staying together for 40 miserable years is not always the flex society makes it out to be. Dr. Tara also walks us through the concept of pussy worshipping sessions (yes, really) how to have the conversation with your partner when desire has gone quiet and why self-pleasure isn't indulgent - it's essential!

Friday Q&A: Zoe and Her Mum Carol on Raising Zoe

This week, Zoe is joined by her mum Carol - a Made by Mammas legend who has been referenced, quoted and talked about on this podcast more times than we can count, but has never actually sat down in front of a mic... until now! Carol reflects on raising Zoe through the rebellious years, whether she set enough boundaries and what she'd do differently knowing what she knows now whilst Zoe opens up about what it was like on the other side of that and how becoming a mum herself changed the way she sees her own childhood.

Emily Blackwell on Having a Baby 11 Weeks Early

This week, Zoe is joined by Made in Chelsea star Emily Blackwell for one of our most honest and moving conversations yet. Emily opens up about the birth of her daughter Eva who arrived 11½ weeks early with no warning, no hospital bag and no pain relief. She shares what the 53 days that followed in the NICU really looked like and talks about guilt, gratitude, the community she's built with other NICU parents and why the journey doesn't end at discharge. Plus: leaving reality TV on her own terms, being a self-confessed Type B bride ahead of her Mallorca wedding and the one thing about motherhood that genuinely surprised her.
