Here's Holly! Red Carpets, Mum Guilt, & Breaking Stigmas with Holly Hamilton. Part One
Pack your bags, because Fill Ur Cuppa is taking the show on the road! This week, Mrs. O and Una Leonard have left their usual studio setup behind for a special trip to Belfast. They are sitting down with the brilliant broadcaster, journalist, and former Support 2gether awards judge, Holly Hamilton, for an incredibly honest and laughter-filled conversation.
Fresh off the back of celebrating Support 2gether’s massive win at the BBC Make a Difference Awards, Holly opens up about her personal journey into motherhood. She shares the raw reality of navigating deep maternal anxiety, the pressures of returning to a high-profile TV job with a newborn, and her personal mission to completely normalise public breastfeeding. From hilarious airport security mishaps to unpacking the toxic "perfection traps" of modern parenting, this episode is a beautiful reminder that no one has it all figured out.
Grab your favourite brew, take a well-deserved break, and fill your cuppa with us!
About the Podcast
Fill Ur Cuppa! is the official podcast of Support 2gether, a dedicated charity on an ongoing mission to provide vital education and support for families living with antenatal and postnatal depression and anxiety. Hosted by Ciara O’Gowan and Una Leonard, this podcast is a warm, non-judgmental space where we discuss the real, raw, and sometimes messy aspects of the perinatal journey.
Through honest conversations, expert insights, and deeply personal stories, we aim to break the stigma surrounding mental illness and ensure that no family has to navigate this season alone.
Our Symbol: The Sunflower 🌻
You will see our beloved sunflower everywhere we go! For the Support 2gether team, the sunflower is a powerful symbol of:
Positivity
Strength
Happiness
It serves as a beacon of hope and optimism for anyone currently struggling through the fog of depression and anxiety. Just as sunflowers naturally track the sun, we want to help guide you toward the light, warmth, and healing you deserve.
Why We are Different: Lived Experience 🤝
We don't just talk the talk; we have walked the walk. The entire Support 2gether team has first-hand, lived experience with perinatal mental illness. Because we know exactly what it feels like to be in the trenches of postpartum anxiety or prenatal depression, we automatically connect with our listeners and community members through:
True Empathy
Real, Tangible Hope
A Supportive Personal Touch
When you listen to an episode, you are talking to peers, not textbooks.
Our Mission & Community Commitment
We are entirely committed to providing unwavering support, education, and encouragement to families and individuals right across our community. Perinatal mental illness can make you feel completely isolated, but through Fill Ur Cuppa!, we want to remind you that your feelings are valid, your struggles are seen, and a community is waiting to hold your hand through it all.
