Frazzled parents Elisha Sessions (ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Academy) and Deborah James (You, Me and the Big C) hear from parents whose lives have completely transformed in the pandemic. They hear from comedian and mum Tania Edwards whose career has evaporated overnight and is struggling to come to terms with her new identity as a full time mum. They also hear from Candice Braithwaite, author of ‘I Am Not Your Baby Mother’ and creator of ‘Make Motherhood Diverse.’ She shares her stories of struggling as a young parent, her anxieties about lockdown and how she maintains her identity.
