Dear Mum, it's Alice Rickard: Twins Left Me With A Body I Didn't Recognise

Trigger Warning: This episode includes an honest conversation about postnatal anxiety and depression, as well as weight loss, in case that's a hard topic for you to hear right now.This one's for anyone who's ever felt like motherhood cracked them open and left them wondering who they even are anymore. Alice Rickard's been there (further down than most of us talk about) and she's come back out the other side.Alice and I go way back through the fitness world, she's a personal trainer, life coach, and mum to six-year-old twins Willow and Jagger. If you've seen her online, you'll know her as pure motivation — but this episode is about what it took to get there, and the reality of juggling two at the same time!!We talk about the husband ultimatum that pushed her towards motherhood despite never wanting kids, a brutal twin pregnancy with hyperemesis, and postnatal anxiety so severe she describes it as "probably the darkest place I've ever been." We get into the retreat that changed how she saw herself, and the years it took before she finally shifted her mindset — not just her actions.I hope you loved this chat as much as me.
