Sarah Savage is a brilliantly funny, raw and full on brainiac Mancunian who talks to us about her degrees, teaching, writing a book about her upbringing, crazy challenges, therapy and her Brave Pants moments. 

There is a distinct difference between Going Out in your youth, and Going Out Out as a parent; The planning, the tiredness, the guilt, did we mention the tiredness?!

And when we do eventually find the time and the group of friends to go out with and a clean outfit, do we feel the need to stay out all night because who knows when this will ever happen again, or are we Brave enough to go home when we feel enough probably is enough?  

Vogue and the Viking discuss this and more....

As a 13-year old Jacynth Bassett decided she wanted to be a tax barrister and study at Cambridge. She made that happen but realised it wasn't quite what she had in mind. Instead, following several shopping trips with her mum, she found a gap in the fashion market for an age inclusive fashion brand.

Listen to Jacynth talk very frankly about she deals with suffering from anxiety and the pressures of running your own business as well as her passion for age inclusivity. 

Becoming a parent is one of the most mind-blowing things ever! Sure, people do it all the time, all over the world, but nothing prepares you for how lonely becoming a mum can be. You are on your own with a tiny actual human that YOU need to keep alive. What you need is some mummy friends to hang out with, but where do you find them? 

Vogue and the Viking talk about their own experiences of becoming new mums and how overwhelming it can all seem. 

This episode is brought to you in collaboration with MummySocial (not an AD!) who are doing a brilliant #socialseptember campaign to help new mums find mummy friends. 

School holiday survival. We are still working on it, but essentially we need a holiday from the school holidays. Everyone is tired of each other's company and everyone is bored despite endless activities and snacks. So many snacks.
