'In conclusion, single women are the best': Q&A with Helen Thorn of the Scummy Mummies

As I mentioned in my main newsletter, here’s the rest of the interview with Helen Thorn, one half of the Scummy Mummies. We talked about so much! I found it really uplifting to talk to Helen. For one thing, she is very funny but she also have a very positive outlook despite going through a terrible divorce in the middle of the first lockdown last year.

I’ve never been married and my longest relationship has been around 4 years (and it was when I was very young) so it’s hard to imagine how difficult it would be to suddenly be single after more than two decades with someone – but it’s a really important perspective to explore.

I decided to wait to publish until today because today is officially Helen’s publication day. Her book Get Divorced, Be Happy is out today. Order it now!

I hope you enjoy the conversation! Do comment below if you have any thoughts.

Speak soon,

Nicola
