  • Joanna Page: I Went to AA Meetings with My Grandad Aged 11
    This week, I’m joined by the brilliant Joanna Page – star of Gavin & Stacey, proud mum, and now the author of Lush – and let’s just say, there’s nothing off-limits. We dive straight into the wild and wonderful, from streaking down Mumbles seafront as a teen to breathing through your anus in drama school (yes, really), and get painfully honest about body image, bullying, and surviving rejection in the business. Joanna shares how it felt to be labelled "too Welsh" at drama school and reflects on the gritty reality of sexual bullying on set – plus, why presenting gives her more control and why perfectionism still sometimes sneaks up on her. If you want a real conversation about living life imperfectly – this is the episode. I left this chat with my heart a little bigger, and I hope you will too.

  • The Life of You – Poet Nikita Gill on Rage Writing, Recharging Your Battery, and Reconnecting with Nature
    This week, I’m joined by the poet and author Nikita Gill for a conversation that feels like one of those late-night chats where you see yourself a little more clearly afterwards. I asked Nikita to share the three essential things she can’t live without – her answers were honest, illuminating, and full of surprises. We talk about why nurturing simple rituals matters, how to find hope in the everyday, and the quiet ways we can all anchor ourselves when life feels a bit much. If you’ve ever wondered what really keeps someone creative, grounded, and a little bit magical, this episode will speak to you.  BOOKS DISCUSSED IN THIS EPISODENikita's book, Hekate, a retelling in verse of the life of a child of war turned all-powerful goddess of witchcraft, necromancy and crossroads, is available to buy now. WE WANT TO HEAR FROM YOUGot something to share?
