Outlouders, have we got a treat for you today. Mia Freedman is sitting down with the legendary Anne Stephens — aka 'Twin Mum' to Jessie and Clare Stephens — for a conversation that is just a lil' bit competitive and a whole lot hilarious.
Mia might now be a grandmother of three, but Anne is currently winning the unofficial Nana Leaderboard with six grandchildren and a seventh on the way. In this episode, the 'heated rivals' trade stories about the beautiful but chaotic reality of raising and grandparenting multiples.
Anne takes us back to the unforgettable Father’s Day lunch at the golf club where Jessie announced she was having twins. From Anne’s immediate fit of laughter to unpacking the Stephens family tradition of 'double trouble' twins, no stone is left unturned. Also, Anne talks about her own experience having two sets of twins in just two years and five months.
Listen to Part 1 of their chat to hear who’s really topping the leaderboard.
