Not Another Mummy Podcast

It's my first LIVE episode! Yes, this episode was recorded in front of an audience at the Oasis store on Tottenham Court Road in London. They held a whole day of events, from Mother Pukka doing a talk and a book signing to foodie demos and poetry readings and gin tastings, and during the afternoon, I interviewed Zoë from Dress Like A Mum in front of an audience, in the Saucer & Spritz cafe. As...

"I'm not being judgey but..." is something my guest Susie Verrill was criticised for saying a lot on Instagram Stories, and it's probably fair to say we can all be a bit judgemental from time to time. As parents, we've probably all felt judged more than a few times too - even if it's actually all in our heads sometimes. So judgement seemed like a good topic to discuss with Susie, who as a blogger...

How many times each day do you reckon you feel guilty? Me: 427. At least. Mum guilt is a very specific type of guilt that can overwhelm you and eat you up inside. And it often starts when you're giving birth, and feel guilty about the circumstances (which is crazy, when you think about it.) So I wanted to chat to this week's guest, Michelle Kennedy about mum guilt. Michelle is one of those very cl...

Mental health is a topic that's so important to discuss, and I've wanted to do an episode on post-natal depression since I launched the podcast. Amy Ransom is the perfect person to talk about it because she's been very open about her experience with PND and how it actually led to her starting her blog - Surviving Motherhood - and having her first book published. The New Mum's Notebook (published b...

My guest this week is Emma Bunton - the Spice Girl, the presenter of Heart Breakfast and now the co-founder of Kit & Kin , a range of gorgeous eco-friendly nappies and baby skincare. In this minisode of the podcast, we chat about the highs and lows of motherhood, endometriosis (which both Emma and I suffer from) and teaching our kids about girl power. In fact one of the first things she said,...

Do you feel like a confident person? Even if your answer is yes, most of us have major wobbles from time to time (I know I do!) And as a mum, there are so many times when confidence is needed - those early newborn days where you've got all of this new stuff to get your head around, going to baby groups on your own, being a newbie at the school gate and going back to work after maternity leave all...

It's episode ten of Not Another Mummy Podcast! How time flies when you're having fun. My guest is TV and radio presenter Katy Hill - known from presenting Blue Peter, Live & Kicking and Heart Radio amongst others, Katy is also a mum of two so we chatted about how she fits it all in AND we delved into the whole 'Perfect Mum Myth'. Who is this perfect mum that we all aspire to be like and does s...

I'm one of those people who comes up with lots of business ideas but then does nothing about them, so it was great to chat to my two guests on this episode of Not Another Mummy Podcast who  have done something with their business ideas. Gemma runs Mutha.hood , an online 'mama merch' brand, and Vickie runs INPO  (In No Particular Order) where she designs and sells fab wall prints. Both of...

Anna Whitehouse aka Mother Pukka is my guest on this episode of Not Another Mummy Podcast. She's a blogger, a vlogger and along with her husband Matt (aka Papa Pukka) she does the Mother Pukka podcast ( Dirty Mother Pukka ) and the pair have just published their first book - Parenting The Sh*t Out Of Life . Anna also runs the Flex Appeal where she campaigns for better flexible working, so we chatt...

In this episode of Not Another Mummy Podcast, I chat to brilliant journalist Robyn Wilder . She writes features for magazines like ELLE and Grazia , has written for The Guardian and she is the parenting columnist for The Pool . Robyn is mum to two-year-old Herbie and at the time of our chat, she was VERY pregnant (and fed up!) with her second. Since then, she has had her baby - little Ned - so she...

Emma Conway is one of my favourite people - she blogs at Brummy Mummy of 2 , has a huge Facebook following (ummm but not as big as I thought, as you'll hear...) and has got over 12,000 subscribers on YouTube . She talks about the realities of being a mum of two in Birmingham. She's a normal lass (and there aren't enough normal lasses around, right?) Emma's youngest child starts primary school soon...

JK & Charlie are my guests on the podcast for episode five - the incredibly multi-talented pair are both radio presenters ( JK presents Drivetime on Heart London and Charlie presented a Heart breakfast show until recently), YouTubers (they make gorgeous videos about family life ) and they recently launched their podcast Married & Tired . They're also parents to a two-year-old and have anot...

I'm so excited to have Clemmie Hooper as the guest on this episode of Not Another Mummy Podcast . The midwife-turned-author of How To Grow A Baby And Push It Out really knows her stuff when it comes to pregnancy and birth. Clemmie came over to my place and we chatted about all of her births and how different they were (including why her twin birth was the best out of all of them), hypnobirthi...

For episode 3 of Not Another Mummy Podcast, I went to hang out with Louise Pentland - aka Sprinkle of Glitter - for the afternoon. It's a wonder she managed to squeeze me in though because as well as making videos for her 3.5 million YouTube subscribers and being the author of two best-selling books , Louise is mum to a six-year-old and has another baby on the way! So Louise was the perfect person...

It's the second ever episode of Not Another Mummy Podcast ( go catch up with Episode 1 featuring The Unmumsy Mum ) and my guest is Erica Davies. Erica is a former fashion editor and founder of The Edited , whose mix of high street outfits, decor inspiration and family life chat has captivated thousands - 55,000 to be precise because that's how many people follow Erica on Instagram. So I wanted to...

It's here! Episode 1 of Not Another Mummy Podcast! I'm ridiculously excited to be sharing this with you, after months of plotting and planning (and, well, working out HOW on earth to record and release a podcast!) The podcast series will see me interview a range of mums (and dads) and in episode 1, I chat to Sarah Turner aka The Unmumsy Mum  - as well as being a superstar blogger and author,...

Well look at this! It's only the trailer for my podcast series! Each episode, I'll be chatting to a different mum or dad - and I've already recorded episodes with Sarah Turner aka The Unmumsy Mum, Erica Davies from The Edited, Clemmie Hooper aka Mother of Daughters and Louise Pentland from Sprinkle of Glitter. I've got lots more chats lined up in the next few weeks and I'm SO EXCITED to share them...
