This week Di and Nicola speak to the wonderful and hilarious, Cathrine Mahoney. Cathrine is the author of Currently Between Husbands, a book about life, love and laughter after divorce, and one of Di and Nicola's favourite books of the year. For years she was the queen of celebrity publicity at Sony Music, before taking a leap of faith to follow her dream to tell stories and write. She is also the host and co-host of several podcasts including So, I Quit My Day Job, Not Another Parenting Podcast and the Mamamia podcast 456 Club, and mum to her teenage son Louis.  In this episode we hear what it was like for Cathrine when just before her 40th birthday, her marriage to one of Australia's sporting heroes, NRL player Andrew Johns, fell apart and made headlines across the country. As she struggled with the lows that the end of a marriage can bring, Cathrine wanted to read a book about divorce that was funny and honest and would reassure her that everything was going to be alright. When she couldn't find that book on the shelves, Cathrine decided to write her own. And thank goodness she did, because it's brilliant!  Cathrine shares some hilarious stories from the book, including her rock bottom moment at LAX that she can now look back on and laugh - it's one you won't want to miss! Cathrine also tells us what dating was like as she re-entered that world and she shares some great tips and funny insights about what we can all expect and be on the lookout for when it comes to dating apps.  We also talk about Cathrine's fantastic podcasts, her friendship with Narelda Jacobs, the refreshing perspective she has on aging and how excited she is about what lies ahead and the dreams she has for her future.  We absolutely loved chatting with Cathrine and she had us in stitches. We hope this episode will have you feeling good and laughing along with us. Enjoy.
