<p>In this episode of the Mumbelievable Podcast, Sonia celebrates all mums and welcomes broadcaster, author and comedian Robin Ince, who shares stories about his mother and the lasting impact of a major car crash just before his third birthday that left her in a coma and psychologically changed. Robin describes blaming himself as a child, trying to comfort her during mental-health struggles, and how the change affected his whole family, including his older sisters. He reflects on her eccentric humour—wigs, a Vatican letter, meeting the Pope—and later dementia, recalling how Rising Damp repeatedly made her laugh. The conversation also touches on anxiety, a late ADHD diagnosis, learning who a parent was before motherhood, and the love and resilience shown by both his mum and dad.</p><br><p>00:00&nbsp;Podcast Welcome and Guest Intro</p><p>01:25&nbsp;Sock Radar and Dog Stories</p><p>02:05&nbsp;The Unwritten Mum Book</p><p>02:29&nbsp;Crash That Changed Everything</p><p>04:11&nbsp;Flashbulb Memory and Guilt</p><p>04:48&nbsp;Trying to Make Mum Smile</p><p>05:50&nbsp;Kids Fear Change and Sartre Tale</p><p>07:01&nbsp;Wigs Eccentricity and The Pope</p><p>08:43&nbsp;Hidden Insecurities and School Trauma</p><p>09:29&nbsp;Who She Was Before Motherhood</p><p>10:36&nbsp;Wartime Selves and Lasting Loss</p><p>14:20&nbsp;Dad Refused to Give Up</p><p>15:37&nbsp;Sonia's Mum Sectioned and Aftermath</p><p>17:14&nbsp;Funny Care Home Conversations</p><p>18:10&nbsp;Blog to Podcast Origin Story</p><p>19:01&nbsp;Telling Dad About Blog</p><p>20:00&nbsp;Mum Quotes Two Hearts</p><p>20:55&nbsp;Family at the Palladium</p><p>21:51&nbsp;Funeral to Awards Night</p><p>23:44&nbsp;Jokes and Protectiveness</p><p>24:27&nbsp;Late ADHD Diagnosis</p><p>26:06&nbsp;Mum Sectioned Story</p><p>28:14&nbsp;Mumbelievable Mum Survey</p><p>28:48&nbsp;Embarrassing Mum Moments</p><p>30:39&nbsp;Rising Damp Poem</p><p>32:27&nbsp;No Unfinished Business</p><p>32:42&nbsp;Why She Was Mumbelievable</p><p>34:30&nbsp;Her Legacy in You</p><p>35:16&nbsp;Final Thanks and Farewell</p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
