A Premature Baby, Living Away From Famil...

BRITTANY HOCKLEY AND LAURA BYRNE
About this episode

Today's episode is a special bonus episode with Britt's sister Sheri!
We put a call out a little while ago and Sheri was one of the most requested guests so we thought it was time to get a bit of a life update! Since we last had Sheri on the podcast, her and her husband have moved over to Scotland and had their first baby Maya. Maya was born 5-7 weeks premature.

We asked Sheri:

  • How are you going wearing hearing aids now? Do you feel stigma about being so young?

  • How does Sheri feel about Britt's long distance relationship and pending marriage?
  • What made you want to move overseas and did you feel guilty being so far away from family?
  • Their pregnancy journey
  • Maya's birth story
  • What was the best gift you were given after birth?
  • Have you lost much of your identity since becoming a mum?
  • How did you navigate getting 'back' nutrition and exercise? 

     

You can find Sheri's Instagram and Strive here.
