“I used to be the largest dairy consumer on the planet. I used to eat so much dairy and meat. The more that I looked into the dairy industry, the more that I saw that it was the singular, most inhumane industry on the planet, that we've all been lied to, including myself, for years. I always believed that the picture on the milk carton, the cow standing next to her calf in the green field with the red barn in the back was true. It’s certainly the complete opposite.” – Richard (Kudo) Couto Richard (Kudo) Couto is the founder of Animal Recovery Mission (ARM), an organization solely dedicated to investigating extreme animal cruelty cases. ARM has led high-risk undercover operations that have resulted in the shutdown of illegal slaughterhouses, animal fighting rings, and horse meat trafficking networks. Recently, they released a damning investigation into two industrial dairy farms outside of Phoenix, Arizona supplying milk to Coca-Cola’s Fairlife brand. What they uncovered was systemic animal abuse, environmental violations, and a devastating betrayal of consumer trust. While Fairlife markets its products as being sourced "humanely," ARM’s footage tells a very different story—one of suffering, abuse, and corporate complicity. Despite the evidence, this story has been largely ignored by mainstream media—likely due to Coca-Cola’s massive influence and advertising dollars.…

This week, I’m joined once again by Helen Thorne and Emma Campbell—two women whose lives have been transformed by running—to answer your most honest and hilarious questions about everything from sports bras to bladder leaks. Together, we unpack the reality of starting running from scratch. TODAY WE ANSWER… 💬 Claire wants a sports bra that won’t slice her in half—and a fix for underboob chafing. 👟 Tasha is starting from scratch. No kit. No fitness. No idea where to begin. ✈️ Rosie wants to combine running with travel—are there any inclusive, fun international races? 🚽 Emily is wondering: what do you actually do when you need a wee mid-run?

Takes 2 mins, promise: https://ex-plorsurvey.com/survey/selfserve/550/g517/250305?list=3 MY GUESTS THIS WEEK: HELEN THORNE & EMMA CAMPBELL This week, I’m joined by two of my brilliant friends – Helen Thorne and Emma Campbell – to talk honestly about running. But not in the elite-athlete, £200-leggings, nutrition-plan kind of way. This is about resentment runs, running in your pants, and crying in the middle of a 10K. Helen – one half of comedy duo Scummy Mummies – only started running at 39. She’s now completed nine marathons and all six of the world’s major races. Emma is a writer, a mother of four (including teenage triplets), and a secondary cancer patient who discovered running in the middle of chemotherapy. Together, we talk about why running feels so hard to start, how it can help you heal, and the joy of doing it imperfectly. We cover everything from chafing solutions to playlist rituals to learning how not to give a toss about what you look like in lycra. Whether you’re already a runner or the idea of jogging makes you break out in a rash, this episode is a celebration of movement on your own terms – and of the strange magic that happens when you put one foot in front of the other.

We also explore what it means to live with the threat of relapse, the emotional weight of writing dark stories, and the power of teenage friendship to save a life.

Since her death, Ben and Sarah have kept her legacy alive through the Bowelbabe Fund and are now training for the London Marathon in her honour. We talk about why so many of us still feel too embarrassed to talk about poo, how early detection of bowel cancer can save lives, and the bittersweet joy of remembering someone you love and miss every single day.

This week, I’m joined by Dr Julie Smith – clinical psychologist, best-selling author and one of the most trusted mental health voices online. With over 9 million followers across social media, Dr Julie has made it her mission to share no-nonsense advice for the moments when life gets overwhelming. We talk about how fear shows up in our lives – from catastrophic thinking and compulsive behaviours, to why you wake up feeling like everything is too much. Julie opens up about receiving a breast cancer diagnosis while writing her latest book, Open When , and how it forced her to practise what she preaches: facing fear head-on and taking action in the service of your own rescue. We also explore the tools that help us reclaim agency in difficult times – including mindfulness, emotional regulation, and learning to question that inner voice telling you you’re not good enough. If you’ve ever found yourself stuck in a spiral of fear or self-criticism, this conversation is packed with practical guidance and real-life hope. LET’S STAY IN TOUCH 🗣 Got something to share?

MY GUEST THIS WEEK: KATE SILVERTON This week, I’m joined by Kate Silverton —journalist, broadcaster, and child therapist—who left the BBC newsroom to pursue her passion for children’s mental health. Now a qualified child counsellor, Kate is on a mission to help parents better understand their children’s emotional worlds. We talk about why there’s no such thing as a “naughty” child , how emotional regulation is the greatest gift we can give our kids, and why the perfect parent doesn’t exist (and never should). Kate explains how our brains are wired for connection , why our kids’ behaviour is often misunderstood, and how we can stop parenting from a place of guilt and shame. Kate also shares her fascinating analogy of the brain as a wise owl, a baboon, and a lizard , helping us see why children struggle with emotions and how we can lend them our own calm when they need it most. We explore why guilt can actually be useful, how parents can feel less overwhelmed, and why firm but fun is the best parenting approach of all. If you’ve ever worried about getting it wrong as a parent (or felt totally out of your depth), this episode will leave you feeling empowered, reassured, and maybe even a little less guilty.
