KEEP SMILING: 'Work-life balance is the hardest thing to get right'

As a successful business owner and reality television star, Real Housewives Of Cheshire favourite Dr Hanna Kinsella seems to have it all.

But the glamorous dentist, who joined the cast of RHOC back in 2018, is the first to admit that the work-life juggle is far from easy.

As well as caring for two children under three, Hanna, 35, runs her own busy dental practice, while also keeping her marriage healthy with scheduled weekly date nights and, of course, filming the ITVBe reality show.

“As a parent, especially as a mum, you’re constantly questioning yourself,” Hanna tells OK! “Am I doing this right? Am I spending enough time with them? Am I being harsh enough? Am I being soft enough? It’s constantly this battle in my head. Am I doing the best that I can? And am I a good mum?

“I always say to people that work-life balance is the hardest thing to get right in life and it’s just one of those things that I try and juggle. It is a lot. I have times where I break down. I just go into the utility room and cry, because I’m just like, ‘This is so much.’”

As parents to Maximus, three next month, and 20-month-old Kimia, Hanna and her cosmetic surgeon husband Martin, 41, are currently in the throes of early years childcare and have never been busier.

Thank goodneses, then, that the couple – who first met while studying at the University Of Liverpool– have an incredible support network, with Hanna and Martin’s parents helping to keep the plates spinning.
