Dear Mum, it's Emily Jackman: I Lost My Pink Completely

A gentle heads up: this episode includes an honest conversation about a traumatic birth and time in intensive care with a newborn, in case that's a hard topic for you to hear right now.

Dr Emily Jackman spends her days reassuring worried patients that their child's rash is probably fine…at 3am with her own kids?

She's just as lost as the rest of us.

Emily's mum to Madden and Romy, and this one's a proper mum chat. A traumatic first birth that ended in two weeks in intensive care with her newborn, and the single session of rewind therapy that finally helped her process it months later. The shock of going from one child to two, and the overstimulation nobody properly warns you about. Losing her sense of style so completely she calls it her "beige era", and finding her way back to it through colour analysis and a lot of supermarket shopping.

She happens to be a GP too, which gives her a brilliant, honest angle on the gap between knowing the medicine and surviving your own 3am panic,

…but this episode is about the mum bit, not the doctor bit.
