Dear Mum, it's Georgia Jones: On Not Wanting a Second Baby

(A gentle heads up: this one includes an honest chat about postnatal mental health, in case that's a hard topic for you to hear right now) Dear Mum is BACK!! and Series 2 starts here, with the most incredible mum that I know so many of you already love… It’s Georgia Jones! Georgia and I go way back - she was one of my pregnant clients before either of us knew what motherhood would actually throw at us. Now she's mum to eight-year-old Cooper, a former model married to McFly’s Danny Jones, and one of the most honest voices I know on what early motherhood really feels like once the filter comes off. We cover the school WhatsApp chaos (you'll relate, I promise), her lightning-fast 37-minute birth, and then the bit that matters most: the 18 months afterwards where she says she "wasn't in a good place mentally" and barely remembers. We talk therapy, running as a form of processing, and how she found her way back to herself. We also get into the question she's asked constantly — why she's stopped at one — and why she's done justifying it.

Dear Mum is BACK!! and Series 2 starts here, with the most incredible mum that I know so many of you already love… It’s Georgia Jones!

Georgia and I go way back - she was one of my pregnant clients before either of us knew what motherhood would actually throw at us.

Now she's mum to eight-year-old Cooper, a former model married to McFly’s Danny Jones, and one of the most honest voices I know on what early motherhood really feels like once the filter comes off.

We cover the school WhatsApp chaos (you'll relate, I promise), her lightning-fast 37-minute birth, and then the bit that matters most: the 18 months afterwards where she says she "wasn't in a good place mentally" and barely remembers.

We talk therapy, running as a form of processing, and how she found her way back to herself.

We also get into the question she's asked constantly — why she's stopped at one — and why she's done justifying it.
