Ruthie Henshall: "My Mother Told Me She Didn't Want Me”

Trigger warning: this episode contains discussions of suicide, mental illness and childhood trauma that some listeners may find upsetting.


Ruthie Henshall has spent decades captivating audiences on stage, but in this episode she joins Giovanna to talk about the role that has shaped her most: being a mum!


Ruthie reflects on choosing motherhood at the height of her career, raising two daughters as a single parent, and how becoming a mum changed her ambitions forever.


She also opens up about her own childhood, the lasting impact it had on her parenting, and the unexpected healing she found with her mother later in life.


Ruthie's new memoir, The Showgirl and the Prince, is out now!
