Show Notes
She's back! The star of our most downloaded podcast ep returns for a big old chat about all sorts of things.
We talk about how far she's come since starting her business, Don't Buy Her Flowers, and what it's like to sell a company you started from scratch.
There's some debate about what's harder - the toddler years or the teenage phase? Steph discusses coping with anxiety, Ellie talks about dealing with the guilt of needing help, and Helen reveals what helped her get over her fear of flying.
Of course we finish off with some Scummy Mummy Confessions, this time involving Seinfeld, grey pubes, and sex on a ferry.
You can follow Stephanie @steph_dontbuyherflowers.
And you can come and see us on tour in 2026! This month's shows in Rotherham, Winchester, Hexham, Alnwick, Darlington and Hornchurch are nearly SOLD OUT, so get in quick.
In February we're coming to Northampton, Cirencester in Hertford. Then in March it's Manchester, Kent and our SCOTTISH TOUR! See you soon Edinburgh, Dundee, Glasgow, and this year - ARBROATH!
