Finding the light in challenges of motherhood, with Jess Redden

Today’s guest is someone many of you will know and love - the gorgeous Jess Redden. Jess is a pharmacist by profession, a wellness advocate, and mum to her beautiful son Bobby who she shares with her husband, former Irish rugby international Rob Kearney. I have to say, I found Jess's episode so refreshing from the get-go – she clearly thrives in and loves motherhood, but isn't afraid to say that it can be hard too, that there are tough moments and that it's not always as simple as you might see online. She is so generous in sharing her experiences with grief, pregnancy loss and mental health with such warmth, relatability and absolutely zero pretence. Now at 6 months pregnant with a sibling for her son Bobby, Jess is redefining what wellness looks like with a toddler in tow. From sleepless nights to shifting identities, navigating unsolicited advice, we talk about partnership, pressure, postpartum recovery, and all the messy, meaningful moments in between. Whether you’re a new parent, expecting, or just curious about how someone balances it all with grace and humour, this one’s for you. Back next week with more.
