Description

This week on The Motherhood Sh!t Show, we dive headfirst into the wild, wonderful, awkward, butt-clenching world of female friendships - as mums, as expats, as women with weird childhood hangovers, and as humans who are absolutely winging it.

Before we even get to the deep stuff, Lisa relives her spiritual awakening at the Oasis gig (Manchester pride, accidental Liam Gallagher evangelism and all), and Hannah tells the now-iconic story of the cat poo mistaken for a protein bar - because of course. This show is not called a Sh!t Show for nothing.

💬 In this episode we chat about:

• Why making friends as grown-ass women is weirder and harder than anyone admits
• The pressure to have a big circle of mum friends (spoiler: bollocks)
• How drinking-based friendships change when you get sober
• What it’s like trying to form connections as new mums, expats, or both
• When friendships last forever — and when they really, really don’t
• The grief of friendship breakups (yes, it’s a thing)
• Being a “shit friend” in the past — and forgiving yourself
• The difference between performing friendship vs real connection
• Why we need friends who can handle our weirdness
• Why mums STILL say “sorry the house is a mess” even when everyone knows it looks exactly like a house with kids should
• Why vulnerability is the secret sauce in friendship… unless someone weaponises it (yikes)
• How teen behaviour affects mum friendships (because teenagers… are teens)
• Rediscovering who the hell you are, and finding people who actually see you

This episode is basically a cosy, chaotic, truth-telling hug for anyone who’s ever felt lonely, awkward, or completely unsure how to “adult” at friendship.
