She also opens up about how much she loves being a mum, and the postnatal depression and postnatal OCD she experienced after having her children.\nNow a single parent who has her children most of the time, Helen talks candidly about separating from her partner of 13 years, the career she put on the back burner to support his, and what it means to start again financially when you were never married. She shares why she believes every woman should have her own money and independence, how her mum and dad keep everything going, and how living with ADHD can make life admin all too easy to put off.\nLooking ahead, Helen talks about focusing on her career, staying open to love, the importance of being kind to yourself, and the advice she'd give Jess as a first-time mum.\n💗 This episode is brought to you by Polly.\nIf you need life insurance or critical illness cover, find us here: 👉 www.polly.co.uk\n\n💫 Find Helen and the show details here:\n✨ Helen Flanagan → @hjgflanagan\n✨ Host - Jess Silva → @jess.silva.wild\n✨ Follow the show → @pretty_covered_pod \n✨ Learn more about Polly → www.polly.co.uk\n⏱️ Chapters\n(01:45) – Growing up on Coronation Street: becoming Rosie Webster at nine\n(07:48) – Bullying, acne and growing a thick skin in the public eye\n(09:15) – The jungle, and being known as Helen, not Rosie\n(11:00) – Always wanting to be a mum\n(12:07) – Postnatal depression and postnatal OCD\n(16:42) – How motherhood gives you strength\n(17:34) – Single parenting and the support of her mum and dad\n(19:27) – Why every woman needs her own money...","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/PJsZlPaMApHSIc1FGMWYYOnJTxsKcxUJJU6R9hxhOOw/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS8zYzJi/OTljMTI4MDBmMjNj/YmExYjgyYTAxZGNl/NDk5ZS5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
