Hey there, everyone! I always talk to you about being a mum and about my kids—the best things that EVER happened to me! But I rarely share stories about my childhood. I strongly believe that our early experiences shape the adults we become. And my childhood wasn’t exactly perfect…  

When I was born, my dad was barely out of his teens, and he wasn’t ready to be a dad. He was a footballer and his career was his priority. For most of my childhood,  Dad was also constantly caught up in crime and spent some time in prison. So, up until I was four and my sister was born, it was just me and Mum. (And step brother) .
