Audrey Indome, co-host of The Receipts Podcast, joins Lisa and Alix to talk about the whole new type of tiredness that hits when you’re a working mum. As well as discussing the constant battle for some unbroken shut-eye, Audrey, Lisa and Alex explore what it’s like to feel like you’re never truly awake, from becoming exhausted by your own anecdotes to discovering long-forgotten bottles of breast milk where you least expect them.
