What Does Your Mum Think is a podcast about finding your thing and having the courage not to give up on it. How it feels on the inside, not how it looks on the outside. Hosted by Sheps, each episode sits down with creatives, mischievous misfits and doers to unpack the messy middle: the doubts, failures, pivots and breakthroughs that shaped their success. Not the polished version. The real version. The bit where nobody knows if it's going to work.
