Ep. 14 - Clemmie Hooper - Mother of Daughters




Letters To My Fanny - The Podcast show

Summary: Clemmie Mother of Daughters on instagram, sex after kids, masturbation and licking salt off chips in a carpark. This week I had the pleasure of chinwagging with Clemmie Hooper, otherwise known as Mother Of Daughters. Clemmie has a popular blog called Gas and Air and has just written a brilliant book called How To Have A Baby and Push It Out. She is a trained NHS midwife and has four children, with the last batch being a 2-4-1, with her hubbie Simon, otherwise known as Father of Daughters or MOD. Team for lyfe. And her instagram feed, particularly her stories, is a wonderful antidote to the perfect, misty, sunlit portrayal of parenthood. Thank god. We go deep into the nitty gritty...about why it's good to not eat bacon bagels on instagram....how she ended up in a car park licking chips... why she rejects the name mumpreneur...sex after kids...masturbation...and her non book tour book tour for How To Have A Baby and Push it Out. I'm off to Kenya this week for a filming trip so I'll be back in two weeks with more Letters To My Fanny nitty gritty and nuggets of wisdom. And for those that have joined me on the #scrollholedetox, good luck. Let me know how you get on - I have definitely scrolled through instagram less and I have definitely felt the benefits - such as not falling asleep feeling as though everyone else is doing something more fun than me - but I still find myself automatically flicking through reems of pictures of god knows what. All tips and tricks and modes of discipline welcome...see you in two weeks!
