About this listen

In the Happy Mum, Happy Baby Podcast, Giovanna Fletcher continues the conversation about motherhood she began in her bestselling book of the same title. In a series of frank and warm conversations with other high-profile mums and dads, Gi discusses all aspects of parenthood - the highs, the lows, the challenges and rewards. There is no such thing as the perfect parent, and we’re all simply doing our best, something Giovanna fully encourages. It’s time to stop comparing ourselves and champion each other instead. Each episode is truly unique yet unifying. No topic is out of bounds, therefore this podcast is essential listening for any parent seeking solidarity and support.

    Being able to share incredible stories is a huge reason why we do this podcast.


    Last year, Giovanna read Lifeblood: A Mother in Search of Hope by author and journalist Mina Holland. The book reveals Mina’s harrowing journey after learning her baby, Vida, was critically ill just two days before turning 12 weeks old.


    What unfolded next was nothing short of extraordinary. Now, Mina joins Gi to share her powerful story firsthand.

This podcast has been such good ‘company’ for me when I was lonely, nap trapped and suffering from PPA and PPD in my baby’s first year. Definitely recommend for any new mums to help you feel less alone.

Makes me feel understood!
