Welcome to a  new season of Funny Mummies podcast and a shiny new relaunch! Still  all the same funny mummy truths, but with even more laughs, no filter and no judgement . Keep it locked in as we have some exciting Guests coming up ! To kick us off Host Hatty Ashdown& Gemma Beagley spoke to a FM fav Alexis Strum. Alexis is a creative force that has wowed audiences with her hilarious stand-up, compelling writing and even a glittering pop career, but jumping into the world of TikTok in January took her on a whirlwind journey to an audience that truly embraced her. Alexis spills all on the highs and lows of her career, the brilliance and chaos of life as a single mum over 40,  and how if you really commit to believing in yourself, anything is possible!... and a little bit of delusion always helps !
This episode was Produced & Edited by Laura Elwood-Craig
