This week Lisa and Alix are joined by writer and podcaster Ro Frimpong to discuss what happens when your home life and work life are on collision course.

Plus, there are more eye-opening voice notes from the Stylist audience, including an inconveniently vomiting dog and a performatively peeing child.

This week’s episode sees Lisa and Alix chat to comedian and writer Athena Kugblenu about just how far you end up stretching yourself when you’re a working mum. From the art of embracing interruptions to the value of keeping a stash of bribes handy, Lisa, Alix and Athena share how they (try to) avoid reaching breaking point when the stretch becomes too real. Plus, they listen in to some more voice notes from the Stylist audience, with stories including a tear-stained carpark negotiation and an inadvertent rendition of Humpty Dumpty during a work call.

Plus there’s the latest batch of voice notes from th. Stylist audience, which this week involve a nightmarish wardrobe malfunction and the reason why schools always, always call the mum.
