About this listen

The Motherload is a space where modern motherhood is explored with honesty, humor, and heart.


Each week, join host Dominique McMullan as she invites inspiring mums you know and love, experts, and friends to share stories, laugh at the chaos, and dive into the real talk about working motherhood, and everything it entails. Because let's be real... we hold hands, hold meetings, and hold it together (sometimes brilliantly, sometimes barely) but we don't do it alone.

  • Rosanna Davison on love, loss and a miracle perspective
    Oct 14 2025

    Rosanna Davison’s journey to motherhood is a story of loss, love and the most extraordinary resilience. The former Miss World sits down with Dominique McMullan for one of the most emotional and honest conversations ever shared on IMAGE The Motherload.


    Rosanna opens up about the heartbreak of fourteen miscarriages, the moment she watched her longed-for baby girl being born from another woman, and the shock and joy of welcoming twins. She also reflects on the strain it placed on her relationship, and for the first time, talks about helping her surrogate escape war and set up a new life in Ireland.


    With time has come perspective and healing. Today, Rosanna is a proud mum of three, with a home and career she loves, and a happiness that feels so richly deserved.


    **A gentle note: this episode discusses baby loss. Please take care while listening, and skip this one if it’s not for you today.
