Welcome to the Big Sister Hotline! Presented weekly by Clementine Ford, this is your place to ask all the questions you STILL don’t know the answers to about sex, friendships, relationships, family and life stuff, with the kind of frank advice you could expect to get from the person who loves you most - your big sister. Because life isn’t easy, and sometimes we all need a big sister to call on.  Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/clementineford-bigsisterhotline.
