Hello, I'm Sinead O'Moore and this is Stretchworks Podcast.

And it has been a while, a long while, to be honest, and I wasn't quite sure when or where I'd be back with the pod.

I need to get my hands on a new sponsor so I can stay regular again.

But two incredible women that I admire and adore immensely reached out to me separately and asked if they could be guests.

And honestly, I nearly died.

This episode is with the first of them.

It's Helen Thorne, one half of comedy duo Scummy Mummies, and she got me through some pretty dark days on my first mat leave.

And, by the by, Scummy Mummies are coming to Ireland in November, and I may have floated the idea with Helen

that I gather some Stretchmark listeners and we go together.

So I don't know.

Please send me a little DM if this is something that sounds good.

But today's episode, it's not about Scummy Mummies, it's about Helen.

Her life, her husband's affair, her new book, How to Face Big Change and Come Back Stronger.

I listened to the audiobook in about two days.

Couldn't get enough.

The affair was a catalyst for change, but this book is for everyone, regardless of the reason.

This pod has always been about life changes, the things that arrive and stretch us.

And this book is a remedy for how to go through it all and meet yourself on the other side with a whole lot of solidarity and in Helen's case, a giant sense of humour.

Basically, your husband doesn't need to have an epic affair for this book to be a must read.
