Ashley James launches new podcast Mum's The Word

Mum’s The Word is the new parenting podcast hosted by Ashley James. New mum Ashley will be joined each week by celebrity guests and friends as they delve into the world of parenting; what to expect, the unexpected, the delights, the frights and everything in between. Launching today, Monday 23 August 2021, with first guest, wellness expert and mum of one, Roxie Nafousi, don’t miss out on Mum’s The Word.

Ashley, along with her celebrity guests and friends, will be debunking motherhood myths, sharing their personal experiences with their little ones (with no holds barred), candidly discussing the struggles and those moments of pure joy, and there’ll be plenty of laughs along the way. Upcoming guests for listeners to look forward to include Aston Merrygold, Helen Flanagan, Dr Zoe and other celebrity friends and guests. Mum’s The Word is the new go-to for mums, dads and expectant parents to go to feel part of a parenting community and get a bit of much-needed light relief.

Ashley James is a DJ, presenter and new mum to Alfie. Known for being candid and open, Ashley has spoken previously about lacking those maternal feelings in her 20s, and how she had to completely adapt her life when she found out she was expecting! This is a first chance for listeners to hear, in-depth, how her life has changed since Alfie’s arrival.

Ashley James said, “Despite vowing to never start a mummy podcast - here I am! I’m so excited for everyone to listen in to Mum’s The Word! Since Alf came along my life has completely changed, and I’ve learned so much in such a short space of time. This podcast is an outlet for me to share the highs and lows of motherhood as I go along my journey, and I hope it’ll bring reassurance and laughs to our listeners. My hope is that Mum’s The Word is an escape for all the mums, dads and expectant parents out there who need a really good laugh, and a moment for themselves.”

Mark Heads, Head of Podcasts for Create said, “In a time when everyone has been forced apart for so long, this is a wonderful chance for us to create our own parenting community with the launch of Mum’s The Word with Ashley James. We want this podcast to be a place where there are no taboos, we celebrate the highs but also acknowledge the lows - it’s a real parenting podcast which isn’t just going to brush things under the carpet. Mum’s The Word, but you’re very welcome to join the club!"

Mum’s The Word with Ashley James launches today, Monday 23 August with new episodes every Monday, produced by Create Podcasts.
