Choosing a car with a good safety history is now more important than ever as you have your most precious cargo in the back.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What was first job?<br \/>\n<\/strong>Modelling at 15 and also working in Monaghans clothes shop at the same time.<\/p>\n<p><strong>If you could switch careers what would you do?<br \/>\n<\/strong>Nothing I absolutely love my job. I write, model, present and have my own parenting show. Every day I wake up I have new challenges but meet amazing and truly inspiring people every day.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Do you have a personal philosophy?<br \/>\n<\/strong>Yes, Tomorrow is the first day of the rest of your life and life is what you make of it. I\u2019ve been through a few very tough years but hard work and determination has seen me through. A really important saying for people in my industry is that you can\u2019t control what other think or say about you. I\u2019m really sensitive but have learned through being a Mum to toughen up a bit.<\/p>\n<p><strong>One item you couldn&#8217;t live without?<\/strong><br \/>\nMy phone.
