Finding Your Pink is about all the moments in life where women lose themselves — and the bold, beautiful ways they find themselves again.
Like flamingos, women can lose their vibrant pink when they’ve spent too long nurturing others, pouring into work, family, relationships, or simply surviving the demands of life. That colour — their joy, voice, identity — fades quietly in the background.
This podcast is about getting it back.
Hosted by broadcaster and author Emma Ledden, Finding Your Pink is a warm, honest space where women share the real stories behind reinvention, resilience, and rediscovery. Yes, motherhood is part of many of these journeys — but so is grief, career change, burnout, passion, confidence, and the quiet moments no one sees.
Each episode invites you into a conversation with a woman who’s navigated something real — and come out the other side more herself than ever.
Tune in every 2 weeks for empowering conversations to help you to find your pink again.

Six weeks after giving birth to her second child, Emma’s world was turned upside down. At just 29, she experienced a pelvic organ prolapse meaning her insides literally falling out—leaving her with a devastating choice: live with daily pain and loss of function, or undergo risky surgery, including the possibility of a hysterectomy.
In this raw and unflinching conversation, Emma shares what it’s like to face a condition that is both devastating and taboo—how it has changed her body, her sex life, her sense of self, and her identity as a woman. Despite the support of her loving husband, she’s been dismissed and belittled by medical professionals who treat prolapse as “just what happens” to mothers.
Emma also talks about the process of remaking her identity in the wake of this life-altering diagnosis. Together with her partner, Andre, a scientist, she co-wrote The Stitch Up: How Medical Misogyny Harms Us All—a powerful book born out of her own experience.
This episode isn’t just about prolapse—it’s about the hidden cost of motherhood, the realities of medical misogyny, and why women deserve to be heard, believed, and cared for.
