Dear Mum, it's Courtney-Mae Briggs: Losing yourself after baby - and rediscovering her spark (and style!)

To the mum who's standing in front of a wardrobe full of clothes that don't quite fit the same way anymore, wondering where she went - this one's for you.This week I'm joined by Courtney-Mae Briggs; actress, voiceover artist, fashion content creator, and mum to the most stylish almost-two-year-old, Minnie. You might know her from the West End, from Wicked the film (yes, that Wicked), or from her absolutely brilliant outfits on Instagram. We last saw each other on the floor at baby music class - now we're in chairs, no children.?! What a strange luxury.In this episode, we talk about what it's really like to build a career around your body and your identity… and then to have a baby and not recognise either. Courtney is so honest about the postpartum body image stuff, not the weight, but the shape. The hips, the ribs, the shoulders, the fact that nothing hangs quite the same way. And how she found her way back to herself, one outfit at a time.We also get into breastfeeding, leaving Minnie for the first time at ten weeks for a hen do in the South of France, hosting dinner parties with a baby asleep upstairs, and why she refuses to feel guilty about doing things for herself - and thinks you shouldn't either!Plus the wardrobe clear-out that changed everything, dressing Minnie exclusively in the boys section, and a very exciting NDA-ed TV project coming later this year.Pop this on for the school run, while you're scrolling and feeling like you've lost your style a bit, or while you're running that bath you keep putting off.Do something small for yourself today. And don't feel guilty about it ❤️New episodes every Thursday - hit SUBSCRIBE or FOLLOW so you don't miss one ✨Follow Courtney-MaeInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/courtneymae_briggs/Follow me (Charlie!)Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/charlielaunderAnd get to know my business, Bumps & Burpees - https://www.instagram.com/bumpsandburpees and http://www.bumpsandburpees.comProduced by Bear Lane Productions 🎙️Music licensed via PremiumBeat - 4WJJ2ROAVKXSJCGW
