This is a replay episode from 2022, when I chatted to the comedian and actor Ellie Taylor.

“Becoming a mother is both massive and profound… and at the same time mediocre and humdrum,” according to Ellie. And isn’t she bang on the money?

I chat to Ellie about her journey from perfectly happy child free woman to mum of a toddler – including highlights along the way, like being celeb spotted while she was in the middle of her c-section and the joys of that first post-birth poo.

Ellie’s book My Child And Other Mistakes is a warm and funny look at motherhood and a must-read whether you’ve just discovered you’re having a baby or you’re a few years into being a parent.

Buy Ellie’s book and follow her on Instagram.
