Leanne Brown: Losing Everything, Finding Myself & Starting Again

The Hot Mess Mums Club

Show Notes

Former Real Housewives of Cheshire star Leanne Brown returns to Hot Mess Mums for one of her most honest conversations yet.

Leanne opens up about the reality behind the headlines—from the collapse of a luxury lifestyle and financial hardship to the breakdown of her 25-year relationship with footballer Wes Brown. She shares how navigating perimenopause, motherhood, grief and starting over forced her to rediscover who she really is.

Together, Kelly and Leanne discuss:

Why so many women experience a "midlife awakening" The hidden realities behind wealth and public life Life after divorce and rebuilding your identity Financial independence and self-worth Perimenopause, HRT and the impact hormones have on mental health Healing childhood wounds, forgiveness and personal growth Why it's never too late to reinvent yourself

This is a powerful conversation about resilience, courage and learning to choose yourself—even when everything else falls apart. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
