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
