My guest on this episode is the brilliant Amy Hart. Best known for hitting our screens on Love Island, Amy is a TV personality, content creator and host of The Mums Club podcast.

Amy had her eldest son Stanley at 30, has just had her second boy Dexter, and is very much in her mum era. But she's very honest about the fact that the second time around has been harder than she expected - not because of Dexter, but because of the identity wobble that comes with spinning more plates and stepping back from some of the regular work she loved.

We also chat about:

• Why she froze her eggs at 26 after a fertility MOT revealed she might be following her mum and nan into early menopause - and why she'd tell every woman in her twenties to do the same
• The moment she seriously considered becoming a solo mum by choice, and what changed
• Why she has absolutely zero mum guilt about working, going away for the weekend or leaving the kids with their dad (and why she thinks the backlash is pure double standards)
• The day she took a three-month-old Dexter to a Downing Street garden party and why she'd do it again without hesitation
• Her honest assessment of her own podcast... what she got wrong, what she'd do differently and how she's planning to refocus it when she comes back
