Lou Beckett is a mother of two, ex-secondary school teacher and wife to Rob Beckett. The (mostly) silent participant of the incredibly successful Parenting Hell podcast (spoken about not to except for the occasional “right to reply” episodes), she can speak about the similarly ‘silent’ issues: default parenting, emotional labour and managing the mental load of parenthood. Her popular and well-read blog post ‘A very long whinge’ prompted many ‘me too’ moments from fellow parents and gained 56,000 views almost overnight and 116,600 impressions on Instagram.
