Holly Nicholson: 我在怀孕和为人父母的旅程中经历了巨大的转变。从尝试怀孕的焦虑和挑战，到怀孕期间身体和情绪的变化，再到产后激素波动和身份认同的迷失，以及应对来自社会各方的建议和评价，我经历了各种各样的情绪和挑战。虽然我非常感激能够拥有Lenny，但怀孕和产后经历并非一帆风顺，我经历了身心上的痛苦，也曾感到迷茫和无助。然而，随着时间的推移，我逐渐适应了新的身份，并开始享受为人母的乐趣。我与Jimmy的关系也因为共同抚养孩子而更加紧密。 Laura: 我理解Holly的经历，因为许多女性在成为母亲后都会面临类似的挑战。社会上普遍存在的对母性的刻板印象和压力，以及对产后恢复和母婴关系的误解，都会给新妈妈带来巨大的心理负担。我们需要更多地关注和支持新妈妈，帮助她们克服这些挑战，享受为人母的快乐。 Brittany: 我也对Holly的经历感同身受。在成为母亲的道路上，每个人都会面临不同的挑战，重要的是要互相支持和理解。Holly的经历也提醒我们，在社交媒体上分享育儿经验时，需要更加谨慎和负责，避免对他人造成不必要的压力和困扰。

Quite a while ago now we put a call out for who you’d like to hear on the podcast and the name that came through the MOST was the woman sitting in front of us Holly Kingston/Nicholson!We initially got to know Holly when she found love with Jimmy on the bachelor and they’ve gone on to get married and break the bachelor girl baby spell with their son Lenny!

“Once you have a baby, your relationship will never be the same” seems to be a tale told to a lot of expecting mums. And it’s true, but there are a few parts left out of that narrative. Holly and Laura ran into each other not long before Holly had Lenny and she told her ‘no one tells you how much fun it’s going to be’.
