Tasma Walton wears many hats. She’s a mother, a wife, an actress, and an all-round fabulous person. The 41-year-old recently sat down with another of our favourite women, Monty Dimond, from Show and Tell to talk about all those things.
In the conversation series, Tasma touched on topics like growing up without a male role model, what she really thinks of living in the public eye and the moment she proposed to Rove McManus.

Tasma and Monty also delve into the topic of not having an instant connection with their newborn babies, of which they both experienced.
On this, Tasma said:
It’s impossible to explain to somebody that hasn’t experienced it what those first few days few months will be like.
You are in the trenches. There is this compulsion that you have to take care of this creature. There’s a sense of awe about them, but love? That in love, kind of thing? I would not let anybody hurt them. [But] the love has started to kick in as she is engaging more and more with me and with the world.

The first time they handed me my daughter I looked at her and thought 'what have i done?!'. But the love came, it always does. I couldn't imagine my life now without the crazy, funny little ball of energy. She makes me laugh every day
When both my children were newborns, like Tasma, I used to feel nervous as the evening approached and I knew the night would be equally as tiring as the day. It is hard work.
