DamGoode Bookclub 6) A Novel approach for the festive season!

In this festive episode, Maren and Eva are joined by Elizabeth, a passionate book club leader, as they dive into the hilarious and heartwarming book Why Mummy Drinks at Christmas by Gil Sims. Elizabeth shares her insights into why this book resonates so deeply with parents, especially during the holiday season.


They discuss the humorous take on the chaos of Christmas parenting, the pressures of gift-giving, and the overwhelm that comes with balancing family dynamics during the holidays. Elizabeth also shares how this book has sparked meaningful conversations in her book club, providing a perfect mix of humour and reality for modern parents trying to survive Christmas with their sanity intact.


This episode is a lighthearted yet thoughtful exploration of how we can manage parenting stress during the holidays and why it’s important to find joy and laughter in the madness. If you're looking for a laugh (and maybe a glass of wine) this Christmas, this conversation is for you!
