The hilarious and brilliant, Victoria Vanstone is back with a new book and new insights into the wild world of parenting... while sober.

You will remember Vic from her previous episode and book, A Thousand Wasted Sundays (as brilliant and funny and relatable as her new book). In this episode, we went deep into our shared experiences of parenting, from guilt and shame, to the need for a separate identity and the year that Vic spent in active pursuit of becoming a better mum. That's just scratching the surface.

For the reality fans, we also drew a sharp comparison to the thankless tasks of household duties and the interior crew on Below Deck. Where's our tip!?

You can read all about Vic's year of experiments and exploration in her new book, Mumming: A year of trying (and failing) to be a better parent.

Thank you to the wonderful Sam Talbot who had to work his audio magic even harder with this ep, thanks to a technical failing on my part! A true audio engineering and production extraordinaire.
