I have managed to conquer my fear of fire one fish at a time. I've gone from eating sushi to prawns, to baking sea bass fillets.

There was a time when I'd resigned myself to never having my own family, so to fall pregnant with Belle was overwhelming.

I've tried to stop reading comments online because if you believe everything, it makes you feel like rubbish.

My biggest source of inspiration is my mum.

It can be embarrassing paying someone a compliment, but, in the modern world, these don’t even have to be done out loud. When you’re scrolling in the morning on Instagram, don’t just like someone’s photo, but make a point of going into the comments section and write down one nice thing that you see or feel about that picture."

I think the loveliest time in our house is probably a Sunday, because usually I don't work, my husband doesn't work, Belle's at home and we're all together enjoying each other's company.

Another good rule for social media, I find, is to never type and post. Instead, be sure to type, pause, think, and then post.

What is kindness? For me, it is about treating people how you would want to be treated – but, with so many of us living out our lives on social media, it can be harder and harder to show compassion to those around us."

I enjoy social media, but I don’t take it as gospel. Yes, it can make me feel insecure if I see my peers doing more than me. You have to remind yourself it’s a marketing tool, a facade, but that’s easier when you are older."

I did weightlifting and bodyweight-focused exercises such as chin-ups, pull-ups and press-ups with my personal trainer.
