From the Vault | Anna Mathur on how to overcome People Pleasing 1:11:22

2h ago1:11:22

1:11:22

One thing about interviewing psychotherapists is how tempting it can be to open up about the things that I am personally struggling with, or have struggled with. It’s not something I intended to do but in navigating Anna Mathur’s life lessons we stumbled upon the territory of people pleasing and, well, that was it. Both of us have found ourselves c…

4d ago1:09:50

1:09:50

When it comes to alternative therapy I am, by nature and also from years of working as a journalist in the health, beauty and wellness space, a cynic. For years, I’d get drawn into to fads and trends by their razzle-dazzle and now, to avoid this, I like to see proof in the shape of data, clinical trials and evidence. So you may be surprised to see …

1:26:02

This episode was originally published in January 2022 We're not multitasking, the truth is that our focus is so scattered that we're slowly losing our ability to pay attention. Yes, we can blame our phones and all those tantalising apps that seduce us from our home screens, but there's a lot more at play and that's what Johann Hari has spent years …

18d ago1:08:30

1:08:30

Andrea McLean is one of those people you already feel as though you know.

And let me tell you, in the flesh, this magnetism is even more charming than you could imagine. She is al…

1:09:22

This episode was originally published in February 2023. Dean Piper! I can't lie, I enjoyed this conversation with Dean immensely and actually found it to be an incredibly cathartic experience too. Dean and I were both 'celebrity journalists' at a time when celebrity journalism was called-in to editors via brick phones and gathered on the dancefloor…

Trinny's back and how things have changed since she last visited the podcast. Trinny London, her makeup and skincare brand, was a start-up and now it's a huge, global success.

1:08:40

Heartbreak is no fun and while it might be a rite of passage and something everyone will go through, the emotional, mental and physical pain can be unbearable and feel never-ending.

Bullet Points | Are you ready for a new YOU? 18:36

2M ago18:36

18:36

Who knew a wardrobe clear-out, which was more about not contributing to the cycle of fast, disposable fashion would also cause a bit of a 'rethink' about how I want to present myself in the world. Well, turns out that selling on Vinted has opened my eyes to a few things about my wardrobe that had nothing to do with clothes and/or fashion. To join t…

Amanda Lamb | Reaching Your Potential and loving your 50s 1:04:58

2M ago1:04:58

1:04:58

You always have a good time with Amanda Lamb. That's been my experience since knowing her; she always leaves me laughing, is the first to give you a sideways look about an in-joke and is makes you feel amazing for having spent time in her company. So how wonderful to have committed her genuine friendship and authenticity to audio in this conversati…

Katy Hill | Living a LIMITLESS Life 1:08:40

1:08:40

I adored this conversation with Katy Hill. You may recognise her face, and voice, from her time on iconic children's entertainment show Blue Peter but Katy is now a personal development and empowerment coach and established LIMITLESS by Katy Hill in 2018. Suffice it to say, if you are in need of a boost, this is the conversation to listen to. We co…

Bullet Points | How to Avoid Burnout. 12:46

1:17:09

Stacey Duguid has my heart after this conversation. We have many mutual friends but this was our first proper chat and, as you'll hear, it's exactly that - a searingly honest get-to-you-know-you conversation that just so happened to be committed to audio. I love an open guest who isn't afraid to tell it how it is and that's exactly what Stacey is. …

Bullet Points | Shall we do a 'no buy' together? 17:15

3M ago17:15

17:15

Don't hang up! You don't have to but what if she just spent a little time looking at our spending habits and how we could spend our money a little more wisely? I say this as someone who loves the dopamine high of a next day delivery or splurge when I'm out at the shops but who is realising more and more, how unnecessary it all is... To join the Fac…

Kierra is one half of interior design duo…

Bullet Points | I'm fatphobic? 14:16

3M ago14:16

14:16

Talking about weight loss and body image is controversial in a way that for me, as someone who grew up in the 80s and 90s, is hard to comprehend. But as someone who has battled their weight for most of their life and now finds themselves having overcome that struggle, I wanted to talk about it. Apparently, that makes me fatphobic. Have a listen to …

It's 1st January, which means you're probably being bombarded with lots of 'new year, new you' messaging and potentially feeling as though there's something about yourself you need to change or improve upon. Well, I reject this idea. Instead of searching for flaws, let's celebrate all the things we know to be true having lived our lives and made mi…

1:08:48

Joe Nucci has gone viral for his straight-talking posts about mental health and trauma. While it's no bad thing that we've become more comfortable talking about mental health and that struggling with mental health issues is now far less taboo than it was a decade ago, there are elements of the conversation that are unhelpful.

Social media is great, right? We get those little dopamine hits from refreshing our feeds, get to peek into other people's lives and can find a way to be entertained 24/7.

Kathryn Hansen | Binge Eating, Eating Disorder Recovery and what it means to 'eat well'. 1:06:22

1:06:22

Kathryn Hansen changed my life. I don't say that lightly, but her book Brain over Binge helped me confront, come to terms with and ultimately start recovery from an eating disorder I didn't even realise I had. You see, binge eating disorders tend to go undiagnosed and actually impact more people combined than the better-known anorexia nervosa and a…

At the time of publication, we are fully into Cyber Week and every advert on social media, television and billboard is screaming about the amazing deal you could get for this week only.

I'm just going to say it, I'm a fully signed-up Michael Douglas super fan after this conversation. He's a hairdresser and entrepreneur with over 35 years in the beauty industry, and how Michael and I have never 'properly' met despite our years in the same space is beyond me but thank goodness we put that right by 'meeting' for this conversation.
