    • See, this is why I love @peanut and the women on it. How incredible is this video? All created by Peanut’s amazing community. Thinking of anyone struggling this US Mother’s Day ❤️ ... . #Repost @peanut ・・・ For US Mother's Day, we asked the women of Peanut to help us create a short film that celebrates every stage of motherhood - women who are trying to conceive, pregnant, or already mothers. We believe that Mother’s Day is about all of us, together. ♥️ The traditional narrative around Mother's Day is changing, and we want you to be a part of this. 🤝 Please take a moment to watch our film, share it, and express your thoughts. 💌 Download Peanut to connect with women who share your story: https://peanut.app.link/instagram
    • Great evening. Miss these girls (all my girls in fact, and family, and work colleagues, and strangers sweeping by in the street) but thank the lord for FaceTime. And zoom. And all other modes of virtual contact 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 I am not thanking the lord for the FRIENDS trivia quiz though, which was near impossible unless you watch FRIENDS all day and night. Like superfan Suzie. I’m not bitter. Night all 👋🏼 #lockdown2020 #zoom #friends
    • These cards are just brilliant! The wonderful @peanut has created them for US Mother’s Day, for women who are sad not to be able to celebrate it yet. But they can be used at any time, and especially now. For women who feel triggered, be that because of Mother’s Day, or because their fertility treatment has been put on hold due to #covid or just because they are feeling low. The corona virus has stopped so many women from achieving the family they so desperately want. Fertility treatments have stopped mid cycle. World travel has suspended so couples can’t travel to their chosen clinic. Adoption placements have been put on hold indefinitely. Thank you for always showing support for women like us Peanut, I salute you 🙌 ✨ You can shop for the cards on the Peanut App now ✨
    • For so many, this Mother’s Day will be harder than most. So many women are facing cancelled rounds of treatment, halted adoption placements, postponed tests, further waiting, disappointment, heartache, and tears. For some, waiting for the virus to be over will be too late for their chosen route to becoming a parent. The main thing is their health and safety, of course it is. However the mental health and struggle still continues. I urge you to find support and community at this time. Please please check out @peanut TTC to find other women in your boat. They are here for you... ❤️ Thank you for this video Peanut and @michellekennedylon for investing in it xxx #Repost @michellekennedylon ・・・ In partnership with the Fertility Network, ‘The Silent Struggle’ aims to shine a light on women who are trying to conceive; women who often feel excluded from the conversation on Mother’s Day. We’re on a mission to ensure that Mother’s Day is for every stage of motherhood and that no one feels alone this year. Please join our mission by taking a moment to watch our film and spread the word. I am so proud of the incredible team behind this video. It’s an honour when any woman takes time to share her story with us. It’s an even bigger honour when we can do anything to help. Special credit as always to @hastings_hannah my little 🍌 for such a wonderful vision beautifully executed @sophiesulehria our muse @femalenarratives And all of the incredible women who were part of this May no struggle ever be silent again
    • Just done my first comedy gig with a bunch of truly talented people. I started it to gain confidence in public speaking and for a hobby on a Monday night. Turns out I’ve made loads more (very funny) friends and really enjoyed myself. I may even start doing more gigs in the new year. Why not 🤷🏻‍♀️ 🌈
    • Three years ago my best mate @michellekennedylon told me about an idea she had for an app. She wanted to call it Peanut. It’s aim; to connect mums together, to give each other support, advice and friendship. At the time I was struggling with my own fertility, about to embark on another round of IVF. Shell was nervous to tell me about Peanut. “I feel awful that while you’re struggling to become a mum I’m going to make a mum app”. I told her not to feel badly, but to make a huge success of it. And when she had, that she add another platform - for women who are trying to conceive, but who are finding it difficult. An app for those women who aren’t yet mums, but who desperately want to be. Because they need support, and advice, and friendship too - in fact they need it more. They need to find those women nearby, or “nearby” in a virtual space, who truly understand them and what they are going through. To share their experiences, advice, knowledge and heartache. I wish desperately that a platform like this existed for me 7 years ago, when I so needed to find support, to feel less lonely. And it’s for that reason I am so happy to see Michelle launch “Peanut TTC” today, for women just like me. And I couldn’t be more proud. * To download, search “Peanut App” on the AppStore and google play store now 👉🏼 * #peanut #peanutttc #letstalkfertility #support #ttc #fertility #proud
    • Happy 10 years to this one. I’m not entirely sure how he’s put up with me for that long. But he has. So for that I’m very ❤️ love you Jonny B xxx
    • 25 years and going strong. I couldn’t have chosen better women to spend my life with - well done me #sistersbychoice 💕
