Summary

Ashley is thrilled to welcome Vicki Broadbent on the show for a bizzi chat. Vicki is an awarded creator of the parenting and lifestyle blog, Honest Mum®. Vicki created a space where she shares family life as well as her passion for family, food, fashion, travel and beauty. Vicki's blog and social media platforms reach an average of 8 million parents a month (with highs of 12 million) and she is beyond proud to be part of such a supportive community. Vicki was a former TV and film director and she set up this blog in November 2010 while on maternity leave as a way to rediscover her voice and regain her confidence after suffering from a traumatic birth. Blogging and vlogging soon became a full-time job for Vicky. It essentially took her work from behind the camera to mostly in front. Vicki is regularly featured on BBC World News, BBC Breakfast, ITV’s This Morning, Good Morning Britain, Lorraine, Channel 5 News, SKY News and BBC Radio 5 Live. The Bizzimumzi Podcast is brought to you by coffee-infused host Ashley Verma. This show is created to share all the ups, downs and all arounds of the wild world of parenting. Each week Ashley will be joined by a fellow inspiring, thriving and surviving Bizzimumzi – who will share their own journey. This podcast is your weekly opportunity to take a deep breath as we try to navigate the wild world of parenting; think of this podcast as the safe space where we are not too hard on ourselves, we share our humility and relish in overcoming the inevitable failures that simply happen. This is a podcast for those who are unapologetically At Its Best, even when 'At its Best' means the dishes aren't done, there is crayon on the walls and your hair hasn't been washed in forever. We Are Bizzimumzi. We love hearing from you! Get in touch with any topic suggestions, questions and feedback at: info@bizzimumzi.com Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
