3. Motherhood, Marriage and George Clooney
Facing mortality, Janey ponders her chances at the pearly gates, reflects on motherhood, and discovers why her marriage might have put daughter Ashley off relationships forever.
Facing her own mortality, Janey finds herself reflecting on motherhood and how the pressures on women have changed.
She also speaks honestly about dealing with a terminal diagnosis within her relationship, but is challenged on claims of marital harmony by daughter Ashley.
However as she confesses to some of the mistakes she feels she made as a mother, she is met with compassion and understanding.
Also in this episode, as an atheist, she wonders how things might go at the pearly gates if she鈥檚 been wrong this whole time - and explains how George Clooney saved the day.
Reflecting on the past with honesty, vulnerability and empathy for those who let her down, she continues to find humour and insight in both the darkness and the ridiculous.
A mix of stories told onstage to a hometown audience, and candid conversations with her daughter Ashely Storrie, recorded in the living room of the home they share.
