My guest on The Influencers for November & December is TV presenter and news reader Andrea Byrne. She is of course well known as a face on television and on award stages but it is as someone who went through repeated IVF treatments, without any success, with her rugby player husband Lee Byrne, that she is influencing and supporting people who are going through the same challenges and emotions. Andrea has been very open and honest about her losses, the stress and worry and dashed hopes of IVF treatment, and her popular podcast Making Babies, is an important and influential one, where she talks to various people about their experiences.
There is a happy ending to Andrea and Lee's story, because she did finally fall pregnant, not through IVF, and their wonderful and wonderous little girl Jemima was born in 2019. Thank you so much to Andrea for speaking to me on the podcast not only about her experiences, her thoughts and her emotions, but about her career and work, schooldays and the 'Gavin & Stacey' comparisons!😉
