Show Notes
Which phase of raising a child is the hardest? Are any of us the kind of mum we thought we'd be? And are there any lessons women can learn from men when it comes to saying sorry? Helping us answer all these questions is the amazing Em Clarkson!
This episode was recorded at Big Feastival in August, in front of a live tent-based audience. We discuss Em's political activism and how she's finding motherhood. There's also some chat about exercise, and how you know if running is right for you.
We end as always with some Scummy Mummy Confessions, this time involving an embarrassing incident abroad and some festival mishaps.
Many thanks to Em for joining us on stage for this one. Follow her on Instagram @em_clarkson.
