Hello, I'm Sophia Lusbexter and welcome to Spinning Plates, the podcast where I speak to

to busy working women who also happen to be mothers about how they make it work.

I'm a singer and I've released seven albums in between having my five sons aged 16 months to 16

But I'm actually going to talk to you.

It doesn't work for me because I'm obviously not quite at that level yet where we're

streamlined ship and everything always goes as it should.

So I know I said I'd be speaking to Ellie Taylor this week.
