Former Miss World Australia winner and channel 7 presenter Courtney Thorpe has launched a weekly podcast through Podshape in which she tells her own story and talks to other guests about how they’re More than just a Mum.
Thorpe (pictured) is a newly single Mum after recently splitting from Gold Coast Titans and Queensland rugby league player Jarrod Wallace and loving step-Mum to his 2 daughters. She is known for being raw, honest, and sharing her experiences. More than just a Mum is a very real and honest approach to pregnancy, babies, and the struggles of being a new Mum.
Thorpe will sit down each week with a high profile guest to discuss a variety of topics including body image post baby, IVF, gender disappointment and post partum in an open, honest, safe space. She wants to share her experiences with the highest of highs and lowest of lows and everything in between.
Some of the guests include Channel 7’s Liz Cantor & Kendall Gilding, influencer Kayla Boyd and breakfast radio presenter Emily Jade O’Keefe.
Thorpe said of the new podcast: “Modern day motherhood can be so unbelievably isolating and lonely, so I am really hoping this podcast helps other Mum’s to feel heard, supported and understood. There is so much we keep to ourselves as Mum’s and I think it’s time we break our silence, build our villages back up and show the world that we are more than just Mum’s!”
Katie Mattin, Podshape co founder and creator said “Courtney has faced many hurdles in the start to her parenting journey and wants to share them in the hope that other Mum’s won’t feel alone. Many of the topics a lot of people aren’t discussing as they feel shame and Courtney wants everyone to know they’re all in the same boat!”
“I’m super excited for people to hear this inspiring and very real approach to being ‘More than just a Mum’.”
More than just a Mum is available weekly on Tuesdays on Spotify, Apple and all other podcast platforms.
