   Storme Diaries - Ruby Cooke - Ep.25

   Welcome back to Storme Diaries 🤍 For episode 25, I’m joined by Ruby Cooke for a conversation about motherhood, ADHD, birth trauma, business, spirituality and the power of maintaining a positive mindset, even when life doesn’t go to plan. Ruby tries to see the positive in every situation and wants to create a happy, positive environment for her children. We chat about how her mindset shapes the way she approaches life, motherhood and the challenges that come with it. Ruby opens up about her experience with ADHD, from recognising the signs when she was younger to receiving a formal diagnosis as an adult. We discuss how it affects her day-to-day life and why she has chosen not to take medication, instead finding her own ways to understand herself. We also talk about her journey into motherhood, including her experience with polycystic ovaries, becoming a first-time mum and the birth trauma she experienced. Ruby shares her story of an emergency C-section, an epidural that didn’t work as expected and the complications she faced afterwards, including fluid leaking around her spine. It’s an honest reminder that birth doesn’t always go to plan and that the experience can stay with you long after your baby arrives. Motherhood also inspired Ruby’s business journey. After winning Faces of Essex, she went on to build her own aesthetics business. We discuss turning opportunities into something of your own, balancing business with family life and finding the confidence to follow your ambitions while raising children. And we couldn’t have this conversation without exploring Ruby’s spiritual side! From affirmations and manifestation to crystals, moon water and her connection with the moon and stars, we talk about the things that help her feel grounded and positive. We also touch on children modelling, how much the world has changed and the challenges of raising children in today's generation. ✨ In this episode, we discuss: • ADHD and receiving a diagnosis as an adult • Motherhood and creating a positive environment for your children • PCOS and her journey into motherhood • Birth trauma, emergency C-section and recovery • Building a business after winning Faces of Essex • Balancing motherhood, business and personal ambitions • Manifestation, affirmations and positive thinking • Crystals, spirituality and moon water • Children modelling and raising children in today's world • Finding your own path and trusting yourself This is an honest conversation about the highs, the lows and all the things that shape us into the people we are today.

   Storme Diaries - Sophie Crago - Ep.24

   Welcome back to Storme Diaries 🤍 This week I’m joined by my 24th guest, Sophie, for an honest conversation about childhood, rebellion, birth trauma, motherhood, relationships, co-parenting, faith and building a business. Sophie opens up about growing up with strict parents, feeling misunderstood and being the black sheep of her family. We discuss how rebelling as a teenager shaped her, how she became a good liar to avoid getting into trouble and how different the world is now compared to when we were growing up. From a young age, Sophie always knew the name she wanted to give her future babies. But becoming a mum wasn't quite the experience she imagined. She shares how her waters broke five weeks early, being given an epidural just as her baby's head was coming and giving birth during COVID. Sophie still experiences PTSD from her birth, and we discuss the lasting impact of birth trauma. Things became even more frightening when her baby was initially misdiagnosed with reflux and a milk allergy before doctors discovered a diaphragmatic hernia. Her baby needed emergency surgery and spent around a month in NICU. Sophie describes the fear of watching her baby so unwell and the moment a surgeon described her recovery as a miracle. We talk about the power of a mother's instinct, trusting your gut when something doesn't feel right and finding the strength to keep pushing for answers when you know something is wrong. We then discuss relationships, co-parenting when the other parent lives abroad and the reality of craving a family unit for your child. Sophie opens up about ignoring the signs in an unhealthy relationship, why it can be difficult to walk away and how the dream of having a family together can sometimes keep you holding on for longer than you should. Sophie also shares how going to church has helped her find peace, running a business alongside motherhood and her thoughts about having another baby, including the possibility of using a sperm donor. ✨ In this episode we discuss: • Strict parents, rebellion and feeling misunderstood • Being the black sheep of the family • How the world has changed since our teenage years • Always knowing her future baby's name • Going into labour five weeks early • An epidural just as her baby's head was coming • Giving birth during COVID • Birth trauma and living with PTSD • Her baby being misdiagnosed with reflux and a milk allergy • Discovering a diaphragmatic hernia • Emergency surgery and around a month in NICU • A surgeon describing her baby's recovery as a miracle • The power of a mother's instinct • Co-parenting when the other parent lives abroad • Craving a family unit and stability for her child • Ignoring the signs in an unhealthy relationship • Finding peace through faith and church • Running a business alongside motherhood • Considering a sperm donor and having another baby • Healing, personal growth and finding your own path • And everything in between 🤍 Sophie's story is a reminder that life doesn't always look the way we imagined. From feeling misunderstood growing up to facing the terrifying reality of her baby needing emergency surgery, she has experienced challenges that have changed her perspective on life. We talk about trusting your instincts, recognising when a relationship isn't right for you and understanding that there isn't just one way to build the family you dream of. Because sometimes the journey looks completely different from what you expected — and that doesn't make your story any less beautiful. 🤍 If you enjoyed this episode, please like, comment, subscribe and share.

   Storme Diaries - Charlotte Archer - Ep.23

   Welcome back to Storme Diaries 🤍 This week I’m joined by my 23rd guest, Charlotte Archer, for a conversation about childhood, anxiety, finding yourself, sobriety, motherhood, home births, breastfeeding and turning your passion into a business. Charlotte opens up about growing up wanting a sibling and the special bond she shares with her sibling, who has additional needs. We talk about her school years, not enjoying education and finding herself immersed in the rave scene from the age of just 14. We discuss the reality of struggling with anxiety and panic attacks, including a period when Charlotte became housebound for several months. We explore how those experiences affected her life, the things that helped her move forward and the journey of learning to understand herself. Charlotte shares what led her to live in Ibiza for eight years, her experiences during that chapter of her life and her relationship with psychedelics. We talk about going sober, how much her perspective on nights out changed and the realisation that sometimes you have to step away from something to understand what you actually enjoy about it. From Ibiza, we move on to Barcelona, where Charlotte found herself living during lockdown. It was there that she discovered her love for art and began to realise that something she genuinely enjoyed could become more than just a hobby. We discuss how that passion developed into Arty Party, turning creativity into a business and having the courage to build something of your own. We also talk about motherhood and Charlotte’s experiences of having two home births, the realities of breastfeeding and how becoming a mum has shaped her life. From the decisions surrounding birth to the experiences that come with feeding and raising children, we have an honest conversation about doing things your own way and finding what works for you. This is a conversation about growing up, finding your place in the world, navigating mental health, changing your relationship with alcohol and partying, discovering your passion and embracing motherhood on your own terms. 🤍 ✨ In this episode we discuss: • Growing up wanting a sibling • The special bond with her sibling who has additional needs • Not enjoying school and finding her own path • Getting into the rave scene at just 14 • Experiencing anxiety and panic attacks • Becoming housebound for several months • Moving to Ibiza and living there for eight years • Her experiences with psychedelics • Going sober and changing her relationship with nights out • Discovering what she genuinely enjoyed without alcohol • Moving to Barcelona • Experiencing lockdown abroad • Finding her love for art • Turning her passion into a business • Creating Arty Party • Taking a chance on herself and her creativity • Becoming a mum • Having two home births • Her experiences with breastfeeding • The realities of motherhood • Personal growth, identity and doing things differently • And everything in between 🤍 Charlotte’s story is a reminder that sometimes finding yourself means taking a completely different path from the one you expected. From navigating anxiety and changing her relationship with partying to discovering her creativity and building a business, her journey shows how much life can change when you begin to understand what genuinely makes you happy. We talk about the importance of giving yourself permission to change, letting go of things that no longer serve you and finding your own way through life. Whether it’s your career, your lifestyle or your experience of motherhood, there is no single right way to do things. Because sometimes the things you discover along the way become the very things that shape your future. 🤍 If you enjoyed this episode, please like, comment, subscribe and share — your support genuinely helps Storme Diaries reach more people who might need to hear these stories. #StormeDiaries #RealConversations #MentalHealth #Anxiety #PanicAttacks #Sobriety #SoberLife #Ibiza #Barcelona
