Dear 2020, can we just start over?

I'm Dornow Porter and I've been thinking about life, in lockdown, mostly from a cupboard.

My new book, Life in Pieces, is full of thoughts on everything from bad hair and parenting

to things we can control and the things we can't.

When everything's falling apart, we'll piece it back together.

Life in Pieces is out now in hardback, e-book and audiobook.

Hi, I'm Dawn O'Porter, and welcome back to So Lucky,

where each week I go deep with my guest and explore all of the sides to all of their stories. Their highs and lows, their hopes and fears, they're lucky and their

unlucky moments. My guest for you this week is the presenter and friend Angela Scanlan.

I love my chats with Angela and in this interview we cover a lot of ground. We talked about her early career

in fashion and presenting and how she didn't have a clue what robot wars was when she got the job.

I got some brilliant parenting tips from Angela's mum which I'm fully planning to steal

and we talked about the anxiety that we both experienced around becoming a mum and what that

does for your identity. We also chatted about that we both experienced around becoming a mum and what that does for your identity.

We also chatted about how we're both trying to remember to actually have a nice time and occasionally,

just even occasionally, just switch off. I hope you enjoyed this conversation as much as I did.

I'm very happy to share Angela with you. So this is me, Dornow Porter,

talking to the delightful Angela Scanlan.

Angela Scanlan, an Irish lass.

That's me. Were you pretty well known in Ireland before you were known here then?

No.

Well, I suppose a bit more.
