The Shift In Identity After Having A Baby. Uncut with Holly Nicholson

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’.

We speak about:

• Life before bach
• How her and Jimmy decided to pivot careers
• What the first year of their relationship was like
• Maintaining friendships after the bachelor
• Their challenging pregnancy journey
• Being both very grateful that you’re pregnant but really not liking pregnancy
• What the baby blues can feel like
• The counter narrative of motherhood being all doom and gloom
• The shift in identity that becoming a mum gives you
• How their relationship has changed since becoming parents
