After the overnight fame that came with winning Miss Universe Australia in 2010, model, presenter, and now co-owner of  bioactive honey company Honey for Life Jesinta Franklin has always done things differently.

From the get-go, she was never going to let her public and private lives get too close, and she’s a unique example of what straddling both worlds can look like. For example, she may have protected her kids’ privacy well before the conversation entered the zeitgeist, but she’s always been open about the fertility struggles and pregnancy losses she had to wade through to get her firstborn. She’s always been interested in business, but she wanted to make sure the thing she was contributing to actually meant something to her.

And here, she spares no detail in reflecting on her motherhood and career journey. We talk about the challenging path she walked to become a mum, how that journey only made her becoming pregnant with her second child at just three months postpartum all the more surprising, what it was like to navigate early motherhood while her husband Lance (aka Buddy) Franklin was in quarantine hubs for the AFL season, the shame she felt around breastfeeding challenges, and what she’s excited about now that she waits to become a mum for the third time.
