Summary
This week, Zoe is joined by her mum Carol - a Made by Mammas legend who has been referenced, quoted and talked about on this podcast more times than we can count, but has never actually sat down in front of a mic... until now!
Carol reflects on raising Zoe through the rebellious years, whether she set enough boundaries and what she'd do differently knowing what she knows now whilst Zoe opens up about what it was like on the other side of that and how becoming a mum herself changed the way she sees her own childhood.
