I never listen to podcasts but your voice is just so soothing, i love listening 😍 currently listening in the garden whilst taking an hour to myself without the tv, enjoying the sunshine. Trying to get into a routine, already done a 10 hour shift today, been to the gym, cooked my lunch for the next few days for work and now chilling in the garden listening to my favourite KZbinr 😍 congratulations again on bringing little Romeo into the world and your family 🥰

I have really bad separation anxiety from my little boy, he's 9 months old now and I hate that I have to go back to work soon 😢 me and my partner have been together for 12 years, he works away two weeks on and two weeks off so me and my little boy are so close because of this reason EBF for 6 months. I feel you Elle, I could have said these words myself.. I love and appreciate you and how open you are with your feelings. This one has made me feel very emotional so thank you. 🩵🩵 You are amazing! all mum's are bloody amazing! 🥰 Well done girl ❤️ you're babies love you so much. xxx

Sorry I'm a little late to the party, it has been a crazy few weeks but this is exactly what I need right now. Currently taking a good break and going to run a hot bubbly bath and relax because my goodness it feels like the world moves too quickly and there are not enough hours in a day. My favourite way to relax is to watch a good glowing and growing episode and have a big cup of tea. You're such a wonderful mother, Saint and Romeo are such lucky boys, I'm so excited for you for this next period of your life. Praying for your happiness x Okay but genuinely why do people only pray for people when they're in a bad place? Can we normalise praying for people who are happy? Anyway, we digress x Have a wonderful weekend babes, love you so much

Welcome back Elle we missed you 🤍🤍

[@Alymylove]

It's crazy to think that I've been watching you years before you became a mum. Festivals and when you got baby herbie, a cozy chatty clean with me. You truly have grown so much and you're glowing. You're such an inspiration. I love you ❤️

It’s all normal Elle I remember it well at 23 when I had my first I felt so out of it, he’s now 22 and now im living my best life but you still have the feelings of why doesn’t my kids need me now haha enjoy every min xxx

[@Theresebonath6077]

I just want to send well wishes to the entire Swift Family im so happy for you ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ I only listened a couple of minutes because this podcast isnt for me as i cant relate due to a very different life. Elle you are truly born to be a Mommy you shine ❤

[@heatherjadetyler1929]

Yess she’s back! I connected with this episode on so many levels, I also have two boys and the second time was so similar to yours , missing my first son when he was stood right in front of me. It’s so hard but so worth it when you find you rhythm with it all. We would also love to be blessed with another baby , but had that feeling of completion when I had my second, but not the end ❤ Can’t wait for the next episode xxx

[@lucyroberts9754]

Loved this, so happy you’re back 🤍 love the long ones and also really enjoyed the one with Connor x

[@meganparker636]

I remember with my first not realising till after finishing bf at 2 that that’s when I started to come back. I was just mum completely even though I did do little bits for myself it takes a long time to fully discover the knew you like you say. With my second he’s 1 1/2 now I really embraced it all but I’m defiantly so much more confident in who I am and as well as being a mum I love the confidence I have to go out and do more things with my other half as well. It’s a massive shift but I wouldn’t change it for anything.

I love it I sooo needed this today love you 🤍!!

[@katie8325]

Blows my mind that this woman still has a platform. Vile.

[@laurenkate2111]

Listening to this as a fairly new mum and felt there was undertones of judgement towards your friends for not having the same things in life as you/taking longer to get to where you are, and also judgement towards your friends who choose to go out after having children which seems quite unfair, I choose not to go out anymore but would never judge my friends who do.

[@mrsshhzr]

Hi Elle just a quick question.. does Romeo have a middle name like saint? Also so happy ur back pls vlog more

[@sophiehardy9880]

Keep the long ones!! ❤😊

[@C_222.44]

[@Theresebonath6077]
