On this week's episode, Lovely Leaky Ladies, Jen and Soph chat to Instagram High Priestess, Sarah Tyrrell (aka @selfloveandsarah) who you might have seen on the Late Late Show recently. Sarah is a body positivity activist, brilliant writer, and goddamn inspiration to all of us who need to get the hell on that self love train (in every sense;)). We sat down to talk about what it was like to become a mum unexpectedly at 19, how she weathered years of severe mental illness, survived an eating disorder and suicidal ideation and came to self acceptance. We also covered how finally in the last year, she ditched having crap sex in favour of "weird" sex, the importance of hanging out naked and most intriguingly, the Irish swingers scene.

We chatted the expectations versus reality of raising mini humans and covered everything from the weird stranger danger of meeting your newborn, the absolute carnage of nights out after having kids and the second child phenomenon. We also played Never Have I Ever Parent Edition (thanks to our listener Siobhan for the inspo) and got some mega stories from our audience. DILATED THREE CENTIMETRES FOR LYFE! is our new official tagline thanks to Emma. There was a wee slide show which is up now on the Mother Of Pod insta page to peruse while you listen! So come on in the uteran waters are... well... crowded this week!

This week's Mother Of Pod is comin' attcha from INSIDE the Beast From The East. Like you, Jen and Sophie are both stranded with their "Loved Ones" so survival depends on a steady stream of carbs with a side of carbs washed down by boooooze (or Elderflower Bullshit if you're preggers like Jen). If you, like us, have hit the bread hard in a bid to ignore the fact that we all now hate our families then slide on into this cosy, conversational cesspool of TMI, where we chat to the deadly Louise McSharry about the first year of parenthood, her epic 192-hour birth, the motherhood myth and how she puts the 'ma' in 'enema'.
