Hello. I am Georgia Jones and this is Mum's the Word. I have, hey, woo! Thank you. So today we have got a fabulous guest. She is a model. She is a businesswoman, an entrepreneur. She is beautiful and she is dressed. Exactly the same as me. We didn't plan this. So welcome to Mom's the Word.
Hannah Cooper, Domit!
Take a seat, take a seat.
Thank you so much.
Welcome to the lounge.
Oh my gosh, thanks for being here.
Welcome.
Welcome to the podcast, starting it strong.
I'm a bit hot so this jacket might come off at some point.
So Hannah, welcome.
Thank you for being on the pod.
Thank you for having me.
I'm not going to lie.
It's not started out too smoothly for me.
So Hannah, basically, I got a message from Hannah.
yesterday and she said Georgia there's been a bit of a disaster I was like oh god she's going to
cancel on me this is it ruined so tell us tell us what happened Hannah basically you know you have
all your childcare options you have your back you have your two that you trust then you have your
one that you're like if I have to and then you're your two that like they barely know the child
but we'll go with it I was I've exhausted five child care options and everyone was on holiday or
busy or had another child and I was like so selfish of them I've got Georgia's podcast to do
That's the word.
So we've just taken him with us.
Wild's behind, backstage.
White noise is on Max, Max, Max.
Yeah.
Fans on.
He is fingers crossed snoozing away,
and I've got my agent looking after.
Paul Lucy.
He's agent is back there,
not watching the show,
just childcare.
I'm not sure if she's going to charge me 20%,
but let's see.
But he went to sleep like clockwork.
That never happens, does it?
They never go to sleep when you want them to.
But today, he obviously knows you've got a really important day.
I'd like to think that he's considerate like that.
I mean, we did do sleep training in the beginning,
and I will say I sold my life that first year that he was here.
We were so routine.
And I feel like kind of now the sacrifice is sort of paying off
where like, okay, I can kind of know.
I mean, this is obviously a very unique situation
where there's like madness everywhere you look.
But fingers crossed, he should be down for the whole set.
And now you know I've jinxed it,
and he's going to be here in 10 minutes sitting next to me, isn't he?
Last time we did a podcast together.
Now, we've done one before.
We've done two before.
And it was your podcast.
Never have I ever.
Yeah.
Ended in disaster, guys.
Not going to lie.
Because what happens is if you're not media trained
and you go on a podcast that's a comedy podcast,
you should never say a joke.
Just don't do it.
Because what will happen is it'll get printed in the headlock,
lines and it doesn't write down very well on paper when you make a joke about somebody.
I do think it is funny with the world of podcasting, especially with ours. Never have I ever
do with my husband, Joel. And we sort of are so relaxed at home. There's one thing doing it
in a studio environment where you're so sort of like on. But at home, you know, sometimes we have
a glass of wine or we're just sort of like honestly annoyed at each other. Like he hasn't done the chores
that morning and then we're going straight to record. And I'm like, oh, you're amazing. No. But then
it all comes out on podcast and I sort of forget that anyone listens because it's just you two
and I do say to Joel God the amount of stuff that you do see it feels so comfortable to say
the Daily Mail could have a field day and the mad thing is is they don't really pick up on it
and then later it could be a very random niche thing that they do pick up on and like you say it's
out of context but what I will say is the the perks of social media these days is that
you can own your narrative yeah so I mean as much as we love or
hate the Daily Mail, sometimes it is hilarious, and you can screenshot it and go, you made a
typo there, you know? That isn't actually what I said. I hate it. They keep calling me something.
I think it's like 42, and I'm 34. And I'm like, everything else, print about, you know, the affair
that we had or whatever, but don't call me 42. I'm like, you're aging me before I've even got
there. How dare there. Get your facts right. So Hannah, right, this is a parenting podcast,
we digress. So you have a lovely little boy, Wild.
Who is? How old? He's two next month. Two next month. And he came into the world. And when he came to the world, it was a little bit different for you. Because I assume you always thought that you were going to have, you know, your mum there, ready to go. Free childcare. We all love a bit of free childcare from our grandparents, don't we? And she wasn't for certain reason. So tell us a little bit about what happened and how that affected your parenting journey.
Yeah, so my mom was a primary school teacher's assistant for year one for like 25 plus years.
So we always had this joke, you know, I'll quit my job, pay me £100 a month when you have kids and I'll be childcare.
And I was like, I should have done it yesterday. I'm taking you up on that offer.
And then like you say, you sort of have these sometimes romanticised ideas of what your childcare set up could look like.
And that for me was my mum being there most of the time and sort of just having that extra pair of hands.
And then, yeah, kind of things took a big turn during the pandemic
where we found out that my mum had a brain tumour
and she needed to get it removed in surgery
and then during that surgery she ended up having a big hemorrhage bleed on her brain
which led to her being unable to walk, paralysed on her right side
and one of the big things as well was not being able to talk
and it's something that's called aphasia.
when that happened four years ago
of course your world
sort of falls apart and you're trying to
you know I was looking after mum
and I was very much her caregiver
and it did push back
us having children because I had to spend
time looking after mum
and I'm very grateful that mum is still here
she's learnt to walk again
she's like stronger on her right side
not strong enough unfortunately
maybe to fully deal with the two year old
and sort of the quickness
that you need to follow them is quite tough
but she can be present and do a babysit here and there
but the big one for me is the ephasia
which a lot of people are starting to get to know about
with stars like Bruce Willis etc having a similar thing
but it does make it very tricky
and I'm finding it especially now that Wild is too
the sort of level of language that my child has
and my mum has is very similar
oh is it yeah and don't get me like I mean this would be
a lot for her to do but like a group of four or whatever would be she would manage and sort of
no background noise like we don't realize it here but we can hear stages we can hear people talking which
she can't filter that out so then she gets very tired and a two-year-old can make you tired at the best
of times alone if you have a brain injury you know definitely tired yeah and and so that's been
something that I'm still kind of going through now where I say I find it a little bit sort of I don't
of triggering is a strong word, but definitely difficult to hear my mum
struggling with Wilde's books and also that turning point where he will eventually speak
better than my mum and sort of explaining to Wilde that why Nanny doesn't speak
properly or normally, but equally like Joel is very much like, I think it's so important
for our children to sort of be exposed to all kinds of people and learn that everyone's
got their own thing going on and that's okay.
but yeah it was a sort of big you know there's one thing becoming a mom and sort of taking on all those
changes but i also sort of very much hid my you know struggles and difficulties in the beginning
because i never wanted to worry her so it just meant in a way we sort of had to switch things up
and we sort of got help through a nanny that helped us do the sleep training and and i never
saw that for my life and i also feel like the word nanny can sound so
like privileged in a way and I definitely sort of I have trust issues at the best of time and I think
bringing someone new in I didn't want that to represent like I wasn't coping or couldn't cope but in a
strange way it was a blessing in disguise because she taught me so much and she was so experienced to
help me in those you know first sort of months and I could lean on her and I mean she's definitely a
friend for life and I feel so grateful and
also now I am glad that my mum can have that pure nanny time you know she's she's grandma and she can
do whatever she needs to do and there's no pressure in that way and who knows like recovery is
slow and it keeps going and maybe one day she will be able to do things but that was definitely
sort of a shock for me on top of postpartum and becoming on top of having a baby I think that's it
I think that's what people don't always realize is like what goes on behind closed dogs
and, you know, you might say,
oh, I've got a nanny,
and then people are very quick to judge
and go, oh, it's all right for some.
And they don't realize, actually,
the reason you have to have a nanny
is because your mum was very unwell.
My mum and dad live five hours away.
Unfortunately, if I want to go and do a supermarket shop,
I can't just knock on their door and go,
can you just watch Cooper for an hour?
I would say when she left as well,
I sobbed on that driveway.
I was like, please, like,
because almost it delayed.
the reality of being on your own because I sort of put this safety net in and it sort of made me
I don't know maybe not sort of well I'd never felt alone which was like so such a blessing but then
when she left that's when I think every sort of delayed emotion came for me yeah which was very
interesting I think that does happen though I think you push as mothers especially we push things down
and push things down and then we just reach a breaking point don't we and then we are you
either get really ill, or we explode, or have a mental breakdown.
Well, you just feel like you can't complain because it looks like you're not coping.
And then people will always be like, well, do you need more help?
And you're like, well, no, I don't want that to be a reflection of my mothering, you know, my parenting.
But I do think you do just have to like be a team in all of this and anyone, even if it's a neighbor that would come around or just like hold the baby while you have a cup of tea for five minutes.
I read a great book
and I think I read it a little bit too
not late but it's by Zoe
Blackski and it's called Mother Kind
She's been on the pod?
Has she been on the? Oh my God
I think I'm her number one fan
and I honestly think I should work on commission
because the amount of times I talk about this book
but it was like it was the book that I needed
when I didn't realize.
I just felt validated
and that's the great thing with this podcast
is that mothers can listen to it
whilst they're up in the middle of the night
maybe struggling with, you know, breastfeeding and all these things.
You just feel less alone.
And that's the biggest thing I've learned is to talk.
Oh, 100%.
It's that thing where you feel alone as a new mum, though, isn't it?
And you can't explain it because you could have everybody.
You could have the best support network.
But there's that bit at 3 o'clock in the morning where your child is crying and you can't keep them settled.
And you're just on your own and you don't know how to deal with it.
Yeah.
And I think it's the standards.
that you hold yourself to before,
like, before you're like, I could do this, this, this, this.
And you still think that you could do this, this and this.
And something's got to give.
And I know for me in particular, like, I struggled with that.
Like, I definitely put that sort of, everything's got to be perfect.
Everything's got to be right.
And if I drop something or I, you know, forgot to bring nappies for wild or whatever,
like, I'd be like, oh my God, I am the worst mother in the world.
But what I love about it is that you can be in a park and just ask anyone for a nappy
Or you can just like almost blink twice
and someone another knows that you need just a moment.
Just do a sigh.
You're like, are you okay?
I do love the community of new mums
and I think it's a club that I never knew
that I wanted to need, you know, almost.
Yeah, it is but, and I remember
I was the first out of all my best friends
to have a baby.
Oh, really?
See, I was the last.
Oh, were you?
Yeah.
Look at you.
Because I was literally like,
it's really hard girls.
Slowly but surely
They started to have babies
Which was great
And then they were like
George, we totally get it
We see why this is really hard
I was like yeah
I can imagine that as well
Because especially being the first
In your friendship group
Maybe your girls and stuff are like
Let's go out here
Like it's no problem
Just bring the baby
Like they might not quite understand
Oh Hannah
I used to do it to my sister
And I remember
I used to message to my friends
And I was like
I'm so annoyed
She's literally like
Two hours late
Because she said that the baby's had a poo
And I just don't know, how long does a poo take to clean up?
They had a baby.
I was like, ah, a Poonami.
I didn't know they existed.
Yeah, that's the thing.
I mean, I actually feel embarrassed about the things that I probably did say to some of the girls
when I wasn't aware or, like, couldn't relate.
I remember as every friend got pregnant, I sort of made sure that I went on this big brunch with them.
And like, it was a big, like, tell me everything before you leave me forever.
Because you change.
You do change.
Yes.
you sort of come around, I think, I mean, I definitely in hindsight now, that 18 month thing
is a thing where I'm like, oh, I think I'm back. Let's put the Diamante shorts on.
She's back. We put them on. Before that, like, especially even on his first birthday, I was like,
I'm fine. I've got this. I'm fine. I've nailed the first birthday party. She's back. I wasn't.
Only now, and I'm only talking a two-year-old that I go, oh, that took a long time to get back to me.
you think you're there, don't you? Or you, like, put this mask on and pretend, and you're like,
I'm fine, I'm fine, I'm absolutely fine. My friends know when I'm not fine because I disappear.
I like to do a disappearing act. I'm just not chill anymore. That's the girl that I miss. I remember
when I met Joel, and we were both chill, you know, when you're in that first year of dating
and you're like, whatever you want to eat, no, it's fine, and we'll just eat, like, you know,
Geras at the festival, like, I don't care, like, da-da, like all these sort of, and then you sort of
get longer into the relationship and then like more serious things happen in the relationship and you
realize that one of you's got to step up and make a decision and then you're like that was me
and then I was like the less chill one and then you have a child and then you become less chill
and then you sort of mourn the girl that used to be like woo yeah you're like I want to be
for losing francy free but I can't be I've got responsibility I have things to do and this is the problem
now when I do have childcare they always say like partying with parents with childcare is the
best night out that you'll ever have because I don't know my limits because I'm like I've got six
hours I'm going for it oh I'm going for this and it's actually a little bit disgusting especially when
you know you're coming home at like 10 o'clock say if it's out early back by 10 you're like I can drink
shit loads you know it's like I'll be absolutely fine then the next day you're like ah it used to be
the walk of shame you know that you might have when you were younger and now it is the walk of shame
through my front door when it's like Joel's
mum or like, you know, someone
looking after Wild and I'm like, and I'm just
like, hi,
I'm fine, you go, I've got this and I'm like, I don't think I've got this
but hopefully you'll sleep and it will be alright.
But you've got to take those moments and I think
that's also took a while like I'm sure
it did for any new mum is to sort of
stop worrying about them and that time we used to be like
I'd go out for a coffee, the whole coffee I'd end up worrying about them
and I've slowly narrowed that down to like
for the first half an hour I'll worry
and then,
Tuddles.
Yeah, see ya.
Bye.
The phone goes on silent.
That's when I've got vibrations, but it's all right.
Especially if Dad's on duty.
For a while, I remember, actually, it was a couch.
She sat in the audience there, said to me,
Georgie, you've just got to let him do it.
Just let him a parent.
I'm like, okay, I'll try.
And now I'm like, do know what?
I'm gone.
Bye.
I'm at a festival all weekend.
And I will be drunk for majority of it.
So see you.
If it's an emergency, three rings.
And then I'll know.
I do find it annoying.
Like I had,
the other day I was out and he double called me and I was like oh my god double call
oh we thought about that today a double call I really you know something bad's happened yeah I'm like
that's not an accident and he honestly just called me about something so it was like an opinion on
on something as vague as like to do with the supermarket shop or whatever and I was like I genuinely thought
something was wrong with wild like why are you sabotaging my child care day like go yeah this is the one
A bit of peace that I get.
Yeah.
Dave, I had it about bin bags once.
I was like, I've never been more livid in my life.
To get a double text about bin bags.
I was like, no, thank you.
I am off.
Off duty.
Work it out.

And thank God for Hannah's reply,
because it made me feel like a little bit more of a normal mum.
So I said, Hannah, if you could put a nursery rhyme in the bin, what would it be?
And she went, to be honest, George, I don't really know.
I made him in the many nursery rhymes.
I was like, oh my God, thank God me neither, because I can't remember the rainbow.
I cannot remember.
You know the song?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
The colours.
Yeah.
The lyrics are the colours.
Thank you.
Yeah, that's what I meant, yeah.
Not like the cartoon.
Honestly, I think it's one of the things
that I'm most sort of embarrassed about as a parent
where I'm like, I mean, I definitely sang these songs as a kid.
But I don't know why I only just remember kumbaya.
Like, I'm like, and that's not a nursery rhyme.
But like, twinkle, twinkle, twinkle little star.
I mean, twinkle, twinkle, twinkle little star,
twinkle, little star.
No, it's not twice, is it?

Tinkle, twinkle, little star.

Imagine, Hannah's on the main stage later.
We'll see you there.
And I'll be like Robbie Williams where I go,

Yeah, but you can.
I've got no idea.
Rookier, you took your microphone away from your mouth
and said, sing it with me.
She hasn't got it, she's not got it.
Stick to the podcast, Hannah.
So, no, she rhymes, no go.
We don't know what we put in the bin.
No.
No.
That's it.
I mean, all of it.
I'm more like, if Wilde wants to sing,
you know, do a leaper, let's do it.
Let's go for it.
I agree, actually.
Danny's tried to get Cooper into Oasis.
Anyone on the Demon Hunters' K-pop thing?
Yeah, yeah.
Oh my gosh.
Are you there yet?
No, but I'm not even in, I'm not even in the blue area yet.
There's a lot of eras that I've kind of...
Blue is great, right?
Yeah.
Because it's funny.
Is Pepper the naughty?
Pepper's a bit of a bitch, isn't she?
Oh, really?
We don't like pepper.
People are like, I think they're saying Kill Pepper.
Oh, I'm sorry.
I forgot.
children in the tent right
don't listen to anything I just said
this lovely little girl in yellow
I am so sorry
never swear
okay it's not it's naughty
very naughty
I do actually swear on the mum's the word
podcast so if you did want an un-PC
version then go there
right so let's stop swearing
moving on less about pepper
the better so Hannah
what is in your handbag that would say
I am a mum
or a Milton White
Milton wipe. I am obsessed with Milton wipes. And any sort of wipe, to be fair, Milton wipes a random car. Like, can I just say, I hope people know this, but wet wipes come in the small pack now. Yeah. The water wipes. The water wipes, yeah. They come in the small pack and it honestly, it changed my life. My back aches got so much better.
What? Oh, from carrying water white. I was carrying a big pack.
Honestly, the little things that make me happy. I was shopping. I was like, oh my God.
God, they come in mini.
Yeah.
And I'm like, this is how exciting my life gets now.
Well, Hannah, I'm in massive agreement with you because I'm here with two of my best friends.
All three of us are mums.
And the main thing that has been unpacked since we've got into our tent is three bags of wet wipes.
Yeah, yeah.
We are going to be so squeaky clean.
What do you call a wash when you do it with a wet wipe?
A hobath.
A hobath.
Children, Georgia.
Children, children.
They don't know what that means.
We'll be doing a few of them this weekend.
Anybody else?
Oh, he is?
Oh, wow.
He's only seven, so let's maybe don't be doing one of them.
Right.
What, Hannah, do you do as a parent that you said that you vowed you would never do?
It would be like, oh, like, why do you have to change your life for a child?
Like, they just come along with you.
And I'm like, nah.
Apart from today.
Apart from today.
But, like, I definitely wanted to be that cool.
So did I'm just, I don't think I've hit, I've hit it.
I mean, yeah, okay, she puts on a short and she thinks she's still got it.
But he got it.
It's just like my attitude towards parenting where I'm so like, oh my God, my precious prince, you lie down, I will be fine.
You eat organic, I'll eat takeaways, you know, like everything is about him.
I think that might change, it might balance out, but I definitely feel like I'm just sort of his servant.
You are, so we are up until at what age.
I do not at 18.
I want to be a bit more carefree.
Like I just, like, I'm so sort of inspired when I come to festivals
and I see, like, mums just get on with it.
And I really want to be that person.
But I know inside I'm just got so much anxiety and panicking
that he hasn't gone down by one o'clock.
I mean, I know he's not done a poo today.
And I'm like, that's happening at a festival.
Great.
And I've put him in dungarees.
And this is the sort of thing that goes through my mind.
Isn't it mad that you get well into their poo schedule as well, don't you?
You're like, oh, God, he's not had a poo today.
He's going to be so out of softs there.
It's like shoving a banana down him.
Like he's like baby born.
It will come out the other end.
Like his dink.
That'll make you a poo.
Prunes.
See, it's not cool.
That's the problem.
I'm thinking about poo schedules, sleep schedules whilst I'm at a festival.
I mean, I think we probably all are, to be fair.
Yeah, I'm sure a lot of people watch.
I haven't pooed in three days.
You haven't.
Poor Hannah.
She's not.
You might be.
zone that in three days. No, I may well do. I don't know how much I like pooing in a
port-a-lood, to be honest with you. We'll see. We'll see. We'll see that. We know. Text me.
I don't know why my podcast always seems to go downhill and goes towards pooing or farting at some
point or else where and offend a lot of children. So sorry about that. I shouldn't be allowed to do
it, but I do. I am the same with you though with routine, Hannah, because I was like,
I am not going to have a single bit of routine for my child. I'm just going to take him.
wherever I go he's going to be chilled it's going to be great and then you realize really quickly
don't you that like that just doesn't work a lot of the time yeah from like you know at a festival
where we'll be like it's fine they can have a late night we don't mind if they're a bit aggy
we'll let them off and or on holiday exactly exactly now I only still need to enter that cool
mum era for sure you will you'll get there I promise how old cooper now seven are you
I've got a good few years on you now and I'm still got to wait five years
She's got five years.
You can do it, Hannah.
A prize you'll get there.
I'm also not a cool moment.
I am very, very, very high maintenance
when it comes to looking after Cooper.
And I don't know why we then think that we're knacks
and we're not.
We're just organised.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
We are the ones that have to organise every single thing
and think about every single thing.
But I purposely, I have started doing,
it's maybe a little bit of a vicious game with Joel
where I do go like, well, you pack the bag if you're taking in, whatever.
Yeah, just sort of lunch.
You got nappies, right?
And the other day you went, yeah.
And I was like, okay.
And that day, I'm not even joking, wild pooed three times.
We had so many wheeves.
We had so many accents.
And we ran out of nappies.
And I was like, in the inside of me, I was like, oh, my God, oh, my God, oh, my God.
And I was like, you deal with it.
Great.
But that's the thing.
I think that's the, I definitely, I mean, I'm not here to slag off, Joel.
But here we go.
let's go
let's go it is like
you know he's a comedian
he's in his own world
it's like
he's very used to like
he's gonna hate me saying this
runners don't give me wrong
he's low maintenance
he's chill but
he's a little bit away
with the fairies
so I feel like almost
I'm checking that he's got his coat
I'm checking that Wiles got his coat
I'm checking that Joel's got his nappies
I'm checking that Wiles got his nappies
and I think that's the thing
you do sometimes just have to pull back
because he's fully capable
but it's me in my head
being a control freak
Do you think we make them less capable?
Well, I think, yeah, I think in a way you sort of allow for it,
especially like you say, in the first sort of six months,
I just felt like I needed to know everything.
And actually, like, the best thing you can do at that time is like,
you know, like Joel made sure that he did the sort of the hello freshies
or like did the steriliser and give them jobs.
And you can like, they can teach you that later on the line.
Otherwise it's like, it's exhausting, you know?
Oh, it is.
you can't remember anything and then you put so much pressure on yourself that you've forgotten that
one tiny thing it's not fair it's like a team you know it takes a village and that that village is
already gone and if you're lucky there's two of you doing it and you kind of have to hope for the best
it is it's full on and you've got to make your village sometimes as well like you know you with your
mum and me with parents not being nearby you do you have to kind of form your little village
and then use them and actually genuinely use them as support like you know
like you need to, rather than just being, I'm fine, everything's absolutely fine. I'm getting on
really well. And I think allow a ball to drop here and there and make that sacrifice. Like, I think
that that's still a process that I'm going through where I think I can still do it all. And I think
I just need to like, you know, by saying no to a friend doesn't mean they're not going to be your
friends anymore. If you can't make, you know, a dinner or a coffee or whatever, it's just like you
have to look after yourself first. Yeah, I think that's it. And I think as well, if your friends are
amazing they understand that
100% and they'll go it's fine she's tapped out
she needs to just have that little like moment
where she's just... Except when she's on a night out
and they're like Hannah you need to go home
Hannah gut it's time
me and Hannah realise very quickly
we're very very similar people in that sense
last time I was here at Feastable
quick story for you with the girls
I had to have a very very long
discone app and when I say long
I mean the entire day outside
side of the tent it was hot it was sweaty i was ever soaking over but i was child free yeah too
excited how are you going to pace like your three days now i don't know okay learn nothing learn
nothing it's probably going to be very messy and wonderful and i'm very very excited so just before we go
hannah is also a boss b i tc hitch actually aren't you i've only been a boss b i tc h h h for this
year though i'm so did i spell it right then i did okay five kids can spell these days kids can spell oh no
oh i forgot that bit yeah again like you sort of put these pressures on yourself after having a kid like
what's you know i i've i've modeled for like 15 16 years and and that's i'm not doing that anymore
mainly out of just i just couldn't fake it in my eyes anymore and then things start to move and it's
just like mentally you just for it's harder so you sort of you know go into the social media well
and do content creation and Instagram
and then this sort of year
I've been really lucky to work with Warehouse
and have my own collection
and as modelled by us.
I have a jewellery collection with Posh Totti
and kind of sort of, I'm really trying to tell myself
to not have like this imposter syndrome
because I almost can't believe that this has happened this year
and I sort of did put pressure on myself
after having Wilde to get back to work
and I went back to podcasting three weeks after he was born
because I was doing it in the house.
So I was like, I'm fine.
I can sit on a couch and talk.
But the problem is, emotionally,
I probably wasn't in the right place
to start talking three weeks after giving birth.
Hence why I'm so surprised,
the Daily Mail don't pick up on it.
They're going to troll back.
Yeah, this is someone from the Daily Mail here right now.
We've got to troll back through Hannah's old podcast.
It's just like, it's so interesting.
And I feel like, I feel like proud of myself this year
that I've ticked those boxes that I've wanted to.
But I've also learned to take the heat off myself.
a little bit and just especially with social media it's such a weird world if you're not if you're
in it and not in it because it's sort of you know you you're working for yourself you're freelance you don't
know when the next thing is going to come in so then you sort of end up taking everything or having
nothing and but I will say like having a child has made me sort of prioritize what I do actually want
to be seen doing and want to do and what works around wild so I do sort of feel appreciative of
of that and you know when he was born i remember the birth certificate and it says you know mum
occupation and i was like i think i'm a model and i was like she's definitely not modeling anymore
and it's kind of triggered this thing in me where i was like who am i what am i like what am i like
what am i doing and i think we do live in a world where it's like almost one thing's not enough
and then i sort of go i'm this i'm this i'm this and this and a mother where i'm like actually it's
like, I'm a mother and that is my, that is a full-time job.
Amen. Well, Saturday. Yeah. And, you know, that's the first. And then everything else is
there's a bonus, you know. Yeah. Well, you should be proud of yourself. We all should.
Anyone here that is a parent or not, be proud of yourself. But Hannah, it has been absolutely
delightful. Thanks for having me. I do love a waffle. Oh, we love a waffle. We could waffle for
hours, but we are going to have to stop and you are going to have to go. And what's music? And I'm sorry,
It might not be as good as me and Hannah, actually.
Well, I might be on later, so remember, twinkle, twinkle.
Well, actually, our wristbands do say performer on them.
So I'm channeling my inner...
What type?
Oh, I don't know in these outfits.
What type are we?
But Hannah, it's been wonderful having you.
Thank you for having me.
I hope you guys have all enjoyed.
Thank you so much for watching.
Thank you.
