Anna Whitehouse aka Mother Pukka is my guest on this episode of Not Another Mummy Podcast. She's a blogger, a vlogger and along with her husband Matt (aka Papa Pukka) she does the Mother Pukka podcast (Dirty Mother Pukka) and the pair have just published their first book - Parenting The Sh*t Out Of Life. Anna also runs the Flex Appeal where she campaigns for better flexible working, so we chatted about her hopes and desires to change the way employers approach flexible working. We also veered off subject a lot, and covered her career, the new book, Insta-mums, dealing with miscarriage and infertility and the less glamorous side of parenting (is there actually a glamorous side? I'm not so sure...) Undoubtedly, the star of this podcast episode is Anna's daughter Mae, who kept popping in and joining in!

In this episode of Not Another Mummy Podcast, I chat to brilliant journalist Robyn Wilder. She writes features for magazines like ELLE and Grazia, has written for The Guardian and she is the parenting columnist for The Pool. Robyn is mum to two-year-old Herbie and at the time of our chat, she was VERY pregnant (and fed up!) with her second. Since then, she has had her baby - little Ned - so she is most probably currently in a feeding/winding/settling cycle whilst trying to entertain her toddler along with her husband, journalist Stuart Heritage. We spoke about social media, and the role it has played in her life, as a mum, and we also chatted about mental health, being a feminist when everyone around you is rolling their eyes at you and technology and kids.

Emma Conway is one of my favourite people - she blogs at Brummy Mummy of 2, has a huge Facebook following (ummm but not as big as I thought, as you'll hear...) and has got over 12,000 subscribers on YouTube. She talks about the realities of being a mum of two in Birmingham. She's a normal lass (and there aren't enough normal lasses around, right?) Emma's youngest child starts primary school soon so we chatted about how she's coping (clue: not well) and we talk tips on getting through the first day and week of your kiddo starting school. It's such an emotional time! We drank rosé wine on a Thursday afternoon, recording this, while our children played upstairs - and it was a right laugh!

JK & Charlie are my guests on the podcast for episode five - the incredibly multi-talented pair are both radio presenters (JK presents Drivetime on Heart London and Charlie presented a Heart breakfast show until recently), YouTubers (they make gorgeous videos about family life) and they recently launched their podcast Married & Tired. They're also parents to a two-year-old and have another baby on the way! After listening to the first couple of episodes of their podcast, I wanted to chat to JK & Charlie about how they think their relationship has changed since they became parents (spoiler alert: they get less sleep, watch more Pixar movies and go on "date nights" rather than just go out). It was brilliant to hang out with these guys - hope you enjoy this episode! hit play to listen and don't forget to subscribe on iTunes! Music: Epidemic Sound

I'm so excited to have Clemmie Hooper as the guest on this episode of Not Another Mummy Podcast. The midwife-turned-author of How To Grow A Baby And Push It Out really knows her stuff when it comes to pregnancy and birth. Clemmie came over to my place and we chatted about all of her births and how different they were (including why her twin birth was the best out of all of them), hypnobirthing and some GREAT tips on what to pack in your hospital bag. Clemmie also spoke about how, along with husband Simon, they created a two week cocoon with their new babies (no visitors allowed) and shared tips on how to do this yourself. We also chatted about her Insta-fame (340k+ followers on Instagram and counting...) even though it makes Clemmie cringe. Hope you enjoy this episode!

For episode 3 of Not Another Mummy Podcast, I went to hang out with Louise Pentland - aka Sprinkle of Glitter - for the afternoon. It's a wonder she managed to squeeze me in though because as well as making videos for her 3.5 million YouTube subscribers and being the author of two best-selling books, Louise is mum to a six-year-old and has another baby on the way! So Louise was the perfect person for me to chat work/life balance with. I wanted to know how she juggles all of her work commitments with family life, and how she coped when she was a single mum following her divorce.

It's the second ever episode of Not Another Mummy Podcast (go catch up with Episode 1 featuring The Unmumsy Mum) and my guest is Erica Davies. Erica is a former fashion editor and founder of The Edited, whose mix of high street outfits, decor inspiration and family life chat has captivated thousands - 55,000 to be precise because that's how many people follow Erica on Instagram. So I wanted to chat to Erica about how tricky it is when you're a new mum and you feel like your whole identity shifts a bit - you go from being "you" to being "someone's mum" and I remember looking in the wardrobe and genuinely thinking "What did I wear again, before I was pregnant?!" Erica had loads of tips on this - and general chat on being a style influencer (and having a cushion obsession).

It's here! Episode 1 of Not Another Mummy Podcast! I'm ridiculously excited to be sharing this with you, after months of plotting and planning (and, well, working out HOW on earth to record and release a podcast!) The podcast series will see me interview a range of mums (and dads) and in episode 1, I chat to Sarah Turner aka The Unmumsy Mum - as well as being a superstar blogger and author, Sarah is an ambassador for Mummy Social, a website which connects mums online and in real life. So we chatted about mum friendships - why they're SO important, how hard they can be to form when you're a sleep deprived new mum, school gate mums - the lot! We also caught up about Sarah's recently announced pregnancy and how she's feeling about becoming a mum of three. Subscribe on iTunes! And if you want to be really nice, rate and review it over on iTunes too. In episode 2, I'm chatting to Erica Davies from The Edited on identity and style. Music: Epidemic Sound
