She is someone who has turned the challenges of motherhood to her advantage and is a true example setter. A former TV and film director, she established a blog Honest mum in November 2020, which was aimed at voicing her experience and regaining her confidence after traumatic childbirth. Meet Vicki Broadbent, the lady behind the honest mum blog and a parenting and lifestyle blogger. She reaches out to nearly 4 million parents a month through her social media handles and shares her ideas about family, food, beauty, style, and more!
How does Vicki Broadbent (the real honest mum!) manage her schedule with three children (including a newly delivered girl)?
I'm currently on maternity leave, so my workload is heavily reduced. However, life is still busy as I'm still appearing on TV work or filming the odd shoot on the weekend, and my parents live over 4 hours away, so juggling work with motherhood can be intense.
My two sons, aged 9 and 12, are at school during the day of the week, so it's usually the baby and me, and we spend time with other friends and their babies or attend wonderful baby groups. I love that bonding time singing and dancing with my daughter.
I feel fortunate that an incredible lady, Najiba, who has become a close friend, helps me two to three days a week for a few hours. I wouldn't cope without her!
