The Loud Mums Club

This week, Ellie joins The Loud Mums Club with a birth story that escalated fucking quickly. 😂 One thing’s certain: her baby wasn’t hanging around for anyone’s carefully curated birth playlist. We’re talking about her speedy arrival into motherhood and a birth that deserves its own “wait… WHAT?!” moment.

We talk about a traumatic birth, skin cancer and multiple surgeries, the mental side of recovery, raising kids in the Netherlands, and trying to work out who you are beyond being Mum. Abby also shares how she came to build her app, Trove, while starting something new in her 40s. And because this is The Loud Mums Club, we somehow get into mediums, a...
