Grandfather and now CEO, Bob McGurrell has kindly agreed to join me on the pod to tell me his families story, one I can't even imagine experiencing.

This episode is truly inspiring and shows how you can take a really awful situation and turn it into something positive like helping other families cope with miscarriage, still birth and child loss.

In memory of grandson Louis, the 4Louis charity now supplies memory boxes, cuddle cots, help create bereavement spaces and train NHS professionals all over the UK.

*This episode contains themes of baby loss, which some listeners may find difficult to listen to*.

I am so pleased to welcome my next guest, Dr Jenny Bailey-Cooper who has come on today to talk all things business and being a mum.
Jenny is an incredible entrepreneur and scientist from Bristol who has developed a revolutionary pharmaceutical start up aiming to make IBS a thing of the past.
Like most of us, she has had to learn to juggle work with her personal life. So we will also be diving into how she juggles being a mum, going through divorce and the family court.

I hope you enjoy, and take inspiration from this episode!
