by Sophie Ellis-Bextor
<p>Hello I’m Sophie Ellis-Bextor and this is my new series Spinning Plates where I speak to busy working women, who also happen to be mothers, about how they make it work. I am a singer and have released 7 albums in-between having my 5 sons who are aged between 1 and 16 so I spin a few plates myself. Being a mother can be the most amazing thing.. but it can also be hard to find time for yourself and your own ambitions. I want to be a bit nosy and see how other people balance everything. Join me while I speak to a host of interesting and inspirational women who’ve really made me think - and laugh, and sometimes cry. </p><p>Welcome to Spinning Plates.</p><p><br></p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

<p>Susie Crow runs a small business called Let Us Pretend, in which she ‘makes sparkly things’. I have bought wonderful brightly coloured, fringed capes from her which say ‘Happy New Year!’ and ‘Happy Christmas!’ She also makes personalised banners. </p><br><p>Originally from Newcastle, Susie now lives in Sussex and has three children and a creative job that she loves. And she is the only person I can think of who has more sequins in her life than I do!</p><br><p>Spinning Plates is presented by Sophie Ellis-Bextor, produced by Claire Jones and post-production by Richard Jones.</p><br /><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

<p>Actress Tuppence Middleton is perhaps best known for playing Lucy Branson in Downton Abbey.</p><br><p>She has a little girl with her Swedish husband and divides her time between England and Sweden.</p><br><p>I spoke to Tuppence the week before her memoir Scorpions was published. It’s a highly personal book about living with OCD and it really helped me understand the day to day complexities of dealing with OCD and with emetophobia - the fear of being sick.</p><br><p>We also talked about how OCD has given her a greater empathy for other people, and how it means she is always prepared for the worst case scenario.</p><br><p>Spinning Plates is presented by Sophie Ellis-Bextor, produced by Claire Jones and post-production by Richard Jones.</p><br /><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
