She told me about her extraordinary school days, and very tough adolescence, after she won a scholarship to an all boys boarding school.</p><br><p>Ashley is mum to 1 year old Ada and 3 year old Alfie and although she wasn't focused on becoming a mum, she shared with me that it's surprised her that it's something she feels really good at. We also talked about Ashley's difficult first birth and her subsequent prolapse and vaginismus. She continues to use her media presence to talk about such difficult issues as she knows it helps many other women going through similar problems.</p><br><p>Spinning Plates is presented by Sophie Ellis-Bextor, produced by Claire Jones and post-production by Richard Jones.</p><br /><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
