| 0:05.2 | And this is your parenting safe space where no conversation is off limits. With five kids between |
| 0:10.8 | G and I, we have seen a lot. We really have. Each week we'll be joined by some famous faces and |

| 0:37.8 | Hello, it's just me. God, we're getting used to this now. Actually, Zoe was with us earlier, but she wasn't feeling well. And in the spirit of who we are at Made by Mommas, we don't force people to stick around if they're not feeling well. And if you're not, you have to go home. so it is, it's just me chatting away. Just a quick one |
| 0:56.7 | before we get into the chat. I put on socials the other day about Gigi having her ears pissed. |
| 1:01.8 | She really wants to have her ears pissed. She's six. And can I just say thank you to everybody |
| 1:07.0 | who wrote in to give their opinion because lots of people were, you know, very much like, |
| 1:14.4 | oh, I want to do it as well, but I just think it's not, it's not acceptable, you know, are they too |
| 1:19.8 | young? And then other people like, Georgia, it's just a pair of earrings, just let her do it, |
| 1:23.9 | like whatever. And so I'm going with that. It is just a pair of earrings. Like, seriously, |

| 1:52.8 | we are talking all things, business, growing a business, how to even start a business and when |
| 2:00.4 | you should start a business. Also, how that feeds into |
| 2:04.8 | motherhood. Do we like the term girl boss? Do we hate it? Or mum boss? And so we have a founder on the |
| 2:13.1 | podcast today. She started her company six years ago. It's called Six Stories and she is sharing sort of |
| 2:22.6 | guess how she did it. And it's very different to a normal founder story. It's not an overnight |
