302: Self-love, second chances and dick pics with Lou Featherstone

Ever dreamed of leaving your husband, buying a leopard print bus, and touring America's Bible belt while throwing vibrators out of the window? That's what Lou Featherstone did, and she tells us all about it in this episode.

We hear how a dick pic inspired her to leave her marriage after 20 years. We find out what it's like to give a Ted talk and to find new love with an old flame, and Lou shares her top tip for self-love. We also hear about her plans to take her beloved bus on the road here in the UK.

To finish up we enjoy some amazing Scummy Mummy Confessions involving a Portuguese taxi driver and a threesome via a Harvester.
