• Wanting more children and the pressure on us as women in our mid-thirties.
• What her experience was like on Married at At First Sight as a single mum.
• How Married at At First Sight helped her through the process of becoming a single mum.
• How she dealt with the judgement she received for being on Married at At First Sight as a single mum and not being the primary caregiver of her child.   
• The struggles of 2018 post Married at At First Sight.

We also chat about how she told her daughter's father she was going on Married at At First Sight (#awkward), ex-boyfriends going to the media, her relationship with Sean, and of course her new relationship.

We also chat all things mental health, social media, self-care, benefits of being a single mum, and SO MUCH MORE!!! 

 This was such an enjoyable conversation, and Tracey's attitude, openness and strength are truly inspiring. A must listen!
