| 0:00.0 | Hello, I'm Sophia Lusbexter and welcome to Spinning Plates, the podcast where I speak to |
| 0:09.6 | to busy working women who also happen to be mothers about how they make it work. |
| 0:14.1 | I'm a singer and I've released seven albums in between having my five sons aged 16 months to 16 years, |
| 0:20.2 | so I spin a few plates myself |
| 0:21.6 | being a mother can be the most amazing thing but can also be hard to find time for |
| 0:26.3 | yourself and your own ambitions I want to be a bit nosy and see how other people |
| 0:30.5 | balance everything welcome to spinning plates hello to you I speak to you from the past. In my time, it is Saturday night. I am getting ready to do a DJ gig actually, but don't get too excited. It's just in our kitchen, of course. Yeah, we're doing a DJ gig live on TikTok. And then |
| 0:58.3 | yesterday night we did a disco, which was fun. We're going to stop doing them soon. I'll miss them. |
| 1:04.2 | We're going to do our last one on April of the 9th, if you fancy it. And I'm taking requests. |

| 1:51.9 | Anyway, my guest this week, |
| 1:54.3 | well, she actually did a very helpful thing since we've spoken |
| 1:57.7 | because I have to confess, |
| 2:00.6 | I think if I was speaking to you a week ago, |
| 2:02.8 | I would have probably said, |
| 2:03.9 | hold on, Ray, Ray. |
| 2:06.9 | I'm nearly done, sweet me. |
| 2:08.9 | I probably would have said I was speaking to Giovanna Fletcher, |
