Known for her sharp wit and fearless feminist insight, Rhiannon joins us for an honest conversation about motherhood, identity, care, politics, and the chaos and tenderness of raising tiny humans. Even though our own babies are now adults, we LOVED this book, especially the “What Worked / What Didn’t” reflections at the end of each chapter. Because this isn’t just a book about nappies and night feeds. It’s about identity, care, feminism, and how we survive (and reshape) this mad world together. We dive into birth stories, baby clothes, feminism, and Rhiannon’s unforgettable Guardian piece suggesting autistic people could teach Donald Trump a thing or two about focus, facts, and empathy. Whether you’re a parent, a feminist, or simply a lover of smart conversations, this episode is full of warmth, wisdom, and laugh-out-loud moments. 🌸We share some great news about advances in cervical cancer, HPV jab ✨  Stick around for a beautiful quote to carry you through the week. 💥  SUBSCRIBE for more shenanigans, feminist chats, women’s health, sisterhood, and smashing the patriarchy — one cuppa at a time. 💬 Drop us a comment — we love hearing from you! 📺 Watch the full interview on our YouTube channel. ☕ Support us at Ko-Fi:  https://ko-fi.com/womenkindcollectivepodcast 🎧  Listen now on Spotify, Apple Podcasts & YouTube.
