But why is middle age so freeing for women? This week Clemmie talks to author and journalist Caitlin Moran about Womanhood, specifically about what it is to live in a constant state of evolution. How we never really ‘become ourselves’ (as we might have imagined we would as kids), and instead are continually changing - and while that is challenging as well as a gift.

The conversation also strays into how problematic going for a wee in a jumpsuit can be and also why crisps really are our own true love; which arguably are both every bit as important as the nuts and bolts of womanhood.

Clemmie mentions Fi & Jane’s ‘Fortunately’ podcast

Shameless plug:

Clemmie’s Debut book “But Why? How to Answer Tricky Questions from Kids by Having Honest Conversation with Yourself’ is available to preorder now, it includes a section on ‘Big Questions’ which was definitely a case of ‘biting off more than you can chew’
