    Storme Diaries - Lauren E Cloud Ep. 7

    Welcome back to Storme Diaries 🤍 This week's episode is a beautifully honest conversation with the lovely Lauren E Cloud – ex fashion buyer, content creator, single mum to two incredible boys, and a woman whose resilience shines through every chapter of her story. On the outside, Lauren's life may look perfectly put together, but behind the scenes she's navigated heartbreak, loss, motherhood, career pressures and the everyday challenges that so many women quietly carry. We dive into Lauren's previous career as a fashion buyer, what it was really like working in the fast-paced fashion industry, and why she decided to take a different path. She also shares how she's built her own catering business, balanced raising two boys as a single parent, and how having a strong support system—especially her amazing mum—has helped her navigate motherhood. It's a powerful reminder that asking for help is never a weakness. Lauren also opens up about one of the most difficult periods of her life – losing both her brother and later her dad. She speaks so openly about grief, healing and learning to keep moving forward whilst carrying such unimaginable loss. Of course, no Storme Diaries conversation would be complete without chatting about everything in between. From raising a teenager, navigating modern parenting and social media, to body confidence, her breast augmentation journey, and embracing confidence as a woman, nothing is off limits. This episode is raw, relatable, emotional and full of laughter. It's a reminder that every woman has a story, and behind every smile is a journey we often know nothing about. ✨ In this episode we discuss: * Life as a fashion buyer * Working in the fashion industry * Being a single mum to two boys * Raising a teenager in today's world * The importance of family support and Lauren's incredible mum * Coping with the loss of her brother and father * Grief, healing and finding strength after loss * Body confidence and breast augmentation surgery * Social media, confidence and authenticity * Balancing career, motherhood and everyday life * Women's empowerment and resilience * Life lessons, laughter and everything in between This conversation is full of honesty, warmth and those moments that remind us we're never as alone as we think we are.

    Storme Diaries - Dean & Michelle Ep. 6

    Welcome back to Storme Diaries 🤍 This week's episode is one that will stay with you long after you've finished listening. I sit down with the incredible Dean and Michelle, a couple whose story is filled with love, heartbreak, resilience and hope. Their journey together hasn't always been easy, but through some of life's darkest moments, they found a way to come through stronger than ever. We talk openly about addiction, the devastating impact it can have on relationships and family life, and the reality of loving someone who is battling their own demons. Dean bravely shares his experience with drug addiction, the choices he made, the consequences that followed, and the life-changing moment that forced him to look at everything differently. At the heart of this conversation is Michelle's story too. The woman who stood by the man she loved through the highs and the lows. The woman who supported, protected and fought for her family when it mattered most. Michelle opens up about the difficult reality of loving someone with an addiction, the fine line between helping and enabling, and finding the strength to put herself and her children first. Together, they share the heartbreaking loss of their unborn baby, a moment that changed their lives forever. Whilst no loss can ever be justified, Dean reflects on how this tragedy became the turning point that made him realise the true value of life and gave him the strength to walk away from addiction for good. This is a story about second chances. A story about grief, forgiveness and growth. A story about what happens when two people refuse to give up on themselves, their family and each other. Most importantly, it's a reminder that no matter how dark life may feel, there is always hope. And for the first time ever on Storme Diaries, my husband John makes a special appearance as we take on our very first "all couples" episode. Whilst Dean and Michelle share their incredible journey, John joins the conversation from the husband's perspective... although it wouldn't be a proper family podcast without a little chaos. Keep an ear out for the unexpected technical interruption when John's nan decides to call him around ten minutes into the recording – proving that no matter how deep the conversation gets, family always finds a way to make an appearance too! 🤍 ✨ In this episode we discuss: * Falling in love and building a life together * Drug addiction and its impact on family life * The challenges of loving someone through addiction * The difference between supporting and enabling * The heartbreaking loss of an unborn baby * Turning pain into purpose * Recovery, healing and personal growth * Finding strength through adversity * Protecting your children during difficult times * Rebuilding trust and relationships * The power of forgiveness * Navigating life as a couple through challenging seasons * Why true love is sometimes choosing not to give up This conversation made me laugh, cry and reflect on just how powerful the human spirit can be. Dean and Michelle's story is proof that even when life throws its hardest challenges your way, healing is possible, change is possible, and love really can overcome more than we ever imagine.
