Month 3: Getting back into the world

It’s Month 3 of maternity leave, and I’ve left the house. On purpose. With the baby. And I drove. That’s right — I’m back behind the wheel as a brand-new mum and a brand-new driver. In this episode, I cry in a pet store car park, get deep as I talk about losing someone I love, and discuss how I now use a Tamagotchi-style self-care app to survive the day.

It’s all about rebuilding independence, exploring as a family, and trying to grow in confidence. But even more important than all that, I've finally finished the nursery and hot air balloon!
