My mum was massively important to everything I've done, and now her memory is a motivational tool for me.
A lot of my life has been, 'Fran plays football.' But no, Fran is a normal human being, and I need to live my life.
I was playing at sixth form - training in the morning and going to the gym in the afternoon. I was doing my studying alongside it; then I'd go to training from eight to 10 at night.
For me, I want to put football in the best possible way: where the girls play professionally, get the sponsorships they deserve, and set themselves up after football so that they're not struggling and asking themselves what they're going to do.
It's always in our mind-set to encourage young girls to get playing. The only way we can do that is being positive off the pitch, trying to engage as much as possible.
Especially in front of my dad, I don't like being weak. I don't like crying in front of my dad because I don't want to make him cry.
Ultimately, we need to grow the women's game. That's the biggest issue; it always has been. Then you can talk about equal pay and everything else.
We're trying to win a World Cup for our country, and I think everyone who supports football can get behind that.
I've accepted now that it's okay not to be okay. It is okay to be upset, and it is okay to need to talk to someone.
I just want to keep improving myself as a player and a person and hopefully continue to enjoy being on the pitch.
I've come out of myself as a person at Chelsea and expressed myself on and off the pitch.
Before my mum passed away, I was a very extroverted person; I was very outgoing. I didn't care what people thought about me.
Obviously when I was younger, when I was three years old, I used to kick a football around in the park or in the garden. I've got loads of videos, pictures of me doing it.
Every time I score, I celebrate like the kid I was playing in the park.
I want to make sure I'm a role model for young girls and play the best I can for my team and my country.
It's what every kid dreams of: winning a World Cup for your country. There's nothing that will ever, ever beat that or even compare to it.
Women's sport is growing, becoming powerful, and we want to continue to raise that platform for the young girls at home.
It is great to see kits designed specifically with us in mind.
I really enjoy putting the ball in the back of the net. I enjoy being the person that's creating things for the team.
I've got massive respect for Marta, I've loved watching her play, and I love seeing what she does on the ball. If I can try and emulate that in any way, then I'm going to be happy with it.
