347: Thanyia Moore on comedy, confidence, and neurodiversity

The Scummy Mummies Podcast

Show Notes

What's the best thing about being in your forties? What are the benefits of getting an AuDHD diagnosis? And what's the worst thing Helen's ever done to Ellie on stage? Helping us to answer all these questions is the hilarious comedian Thanyia Moore!

We reminisce about the first night we all met, and worry about what's happened to local Catford legend Fritz. Thanyia tells us why she has a problem with the word "confidence". We discuss how finding out she has autism and ADHD has helped her understand her past, and what she wants from life in the future.

Plus: a modern etiquette dilemma. Ellie and Thanyia disagree - whose side are you on? We finish with some juicy Scummy Mummy Confessions that involve keeping a secret from your sister and getting grassed up by your own son.
