• Victoria Mapplebeck: The Unfiltered Rollercoaster of Motherhood

  On this week’s episode, we’re joined by filmmaker Victoria Mapplebeck, who spent 20 years filming life with her son Jim on nothing more than an iPhone. The result? Motherboard — a brutally honest, unexpectedly funny chronicle of single motherhood, breast cancer, teenage tantrums, and unconditional love.From supermarket bread dashes at midnight to the shock of a 60th birthday that feels less like loss and more like freedom, Victoria’s story is one every woman will recognise in some way.Because no one tells you motherhood isn’t glossy montages — it’s gallows humour, late bills, fear, laughter, and the kind of bond that never lets go.Get in touch with your thoughts at [email protected].
