She's experiencing all of the normal things that you go through when you have a new baby, like the lack of sleep - but because of the pandemic, it's been a very different experience to normal (only a handful of people have met the new babies so far, and her parents may not even meet them until after their first birthday).All of the girls are Mum's, and they talk about what is expected of mothers and the pressures that Mum's can sometimes feel. You're bombarded with information... Everyone has their own opinion on how to be a parent... But the girls talk about how you can choose to be the mother you want to be, and how you shouldn't put too much pressure on yourself at what can be a really vulnerable time.They also talk about how you can feel a loss of identity when you become a new Mum, and how it can be difficult to achieve balance in your life as a whole.

In the fourth episode of their new podcast Starting Over, Edele, Sinead and Lindsay from B*Witched talk about financial loss - both in terms of the band coming to an end, but also the losses that they faced as a result of the global recession in 2008 which hit Ireland particularly badly. Sinead talks about the pressure she felt after she'd invested in properties and saw them all tumbling into negative equity as a result of the recession - she was pregnant at the time, and felt a huge responsibility on her shoulders. Edele talks about the financial pressures that come with being a new Mum, and how at one point she was paying her mortgage on her credit card and moved to England in a rusty Volkswagen Passat to start over again. Lindsay talks about her Dad and how the recession affected him in Greece - he had retired at the time, and shows that financial loss can hit anyone at any stage in life.The global pandemic has affected so many people financially, and financial worry can absolutely be emotional worry.
