This is a special one for me as I\\u2019ve always wanted to introduce my wonderful mum to the Gurls Talk community. She\\u2019s an inspiration to me and many others, not only as my mother, but as one of the mothers of the fashion industry. Her talent agency CLM represents some of the biggest names in the business, and watching her juggle a career and being a parent has taught me so much about what\\u2019s possible. \\xa0

We talk about how she got through the darkness of finding out that her daughter was battling with her mental health. For her, it was a complete shock that she couldn\\u2019t have got through without therapy and the overwhelming support of the incredible charity, Al-Anon. I think what I\\u2019ve learnt most from talking to her is that mothers everywhere are juggling, especially right now. My mum says that \\u201csurrounding your children with love so they don\\u2019t feel alone\\u201d is one of the most powerful things you can do as a parent, and I think that\\u2019s an approach we can all take right now. Surround everyone you know with love, and we\\u2019ll get through these mad times.
