'm so glad to welcome Estée Lalonde back to the podcast, especially as this conversation coincides with some exciting developments in her professional and personal life. There's her body care brand Mirror Water and a new relationship...
Her career is a truly incredible one: she followed her boyfriend to London, became a part of the beauty blogging community and has gone on to make her social media and Youtube a wildly successful business. She has shared her life with millions of followers and as she evolves from influencer to businesswoman, she's opening up about the highs and lows of taking huge risks, knowing what you want from life, people and relationships and why you have to advocate for yourself.
I've known Estée for a few years now and I always come away from time spent with her feeling better for having seen the world through her eyes and, I'm just going to say it, I think this might be the best conversation I've had with her in the time we've known each other.
Estée is always honest, real and straight-talking so hearing her share her life lessons with no filter whatsoever was a real eye-opener. I learned a lot and I hope you do too!

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 at nightclubs or in the loos at award ceremonies. It was the era of celebrity weddings, showbiz couples with portmanteau nicknames and when daily sales of newspapers and magazines running showbiz gossip ran into the millions.
However, while it was fun for a while, about ten years ago Dean turned his back on 'that life'. In fact, he didn't just turn on his heel, he walked out with no job to go to, no plan and no idea what the future would hold.
This conversation details why Dean has never looked back, why he felt it was time to leave and how disappointed he is that in the ten years since he left, celebrity journalism has become so murky and destructive. We discuss some of his biggest regrets while working on tabloids, how he got some of his juiciest scoops back in the day and what happens, and who stops calling when you walk away from the most powerful job in showbiz.
If you enjoy Dean's insights here then you'll love his Substack where he's writing a weekly column about his life in showbiz.

Talk about a great natter with a fantastic friend. Natalie Anderson is what you might describe as 'good energy', incredible company, good chat and always keen to pass on the latest snippet of advice to make someone else's life easier. That's one of the reasons she started The Capsule, a place where you canfind all of Natalie’s recommendations for a healthy, happy lifestyle - essentially taking the guesswork and legwork out of finding the things you need and the things you love.
What she started talking about was her own experience with anxiety, something she kept private but started sharing solutions to on The Capsule before opening up about her own experiences and creating a community of women who felt the same and were as keen to find solutions and balms as she was.
What started as a blog, following her time as a columnist at Hello magazine, has turned into a huge enterprise and I’m delighted to learn what more’s to come from Natalie and The Capsule and find out what’s working for her in 2024!

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. Dare I say, it's a big of a juggernaut now, which means the last few years have involved some steep learning curves for Trinny who has had to step up to the role of CEO. I find Trinny in a reflective mood on this occasion as we discuss ending toxic friendships, being open to love and the lessons one learns from navigating through the crappy stuff.
Trinny's book Fearless is available now.

Dr Ramani's recent visit to the podcast was so popular that I'm re-publishing her visit to the show from 2021.
‘Pushing back on narcissism is a human rights issue’.
Dr Ramani Durvasula is a clinical psychologist, best-selling author and professor of psychology who shares her expertise on narcissism and narcissistic personality disorder on the latest episode of the podcast.
The term ‘narcissist’ is bandied around a lot but it’s an overused and misunderstood word, which is why I asked Dr Ramani to join me on the show. During our conversation she helps unpick and unpack its complexities, what it is, what it isn’t and how to navigate the world knowing that being a victim of narcissism can cause you real harm.
If you think you understand what a narcissist is and how to spot one then think again…
In this episode, @drramani shares:
•The difference between narcissism and narcissistic personality disorder.
•Why the label ‘narcissist’ is too broad.
•Whether narcissism is innate or learned.
•The emotional damage a narcissist can cause and why the fallout can be so devastating for the victim.
•The types of people who are most likely to get caught in a narcissist’s trap.
•Why narcissism is rewarded in today’s society and why it’s turning narcissism into an epidemic.
•Whether a narcissist ever gets their just deserts.
•Whether you should ever tell a narcissistic off, and much more…
Dr Ramani’s books are available now at all good bookstores:
Don’t You Know Who I Am? How to stay sane in an era of narcissism, entitlement and incivility.
Should I Stay or Should I Go? Surviving a Relationship with a Narcissist.

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. While the breakdown of a relationship can be horrendous, the end of a friendship can be devastating too and Shelley J Whitehead has a guide to overcoming this kind of heartbreak, which she shares in this episode.
There are stages of heartbreak, all of which are important, and as awful as they may feel as the time, they are evidence of moving through and eventually beyond the heartbreak...
Shelley's book Healing Your Heartbreak in 28 Days is available now.

I wanted to share a little update with you about my wardrobe cleanse and how it made me break-up with Free People (you can read about that heartbreak here) as well as an excellent article I read from The Times on the trend of taking breaks from dating called Boy Sober.

What is the impact of narcissistic abuse? And can you ever recover? Dr Ramani Durvasual is arguably the world's leading expert on narcissism and her books and YouTube channel are testament to her breadth of knowledge on the topic. However, while defining, describing and identifying narcissism has become a widespread pastime, how actually to recover from the effects of narcissistic abuse is much less talked about - until now.
Dr Ramani's latest book It's Not You: How to Identify and Heal from Narcissistic People delves into how to put yourself back together, how to be wise to and avoid gaslighting and how to navigate the world without being sucked into narcissist's gravitational pull.
On her first visit to the podcast, Dr Ramani helped me realised my role as an enabler and in this conversation we discuss how to build the emotional toolkit required to navigate a world with difficult people.

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.

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 conversation where we discuss how she felt invisible in her 40s and is now loving her 50s, being numbed by anti-anxiety medication and the dreams and aspirations she still wants to achieve.

In this episode I bring you a rant about self-help and what I think has been a huge change to the way we look for support and advice. Plus, I have Covid and it all goes off the rails a bit.

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 cover everything from knowing what your dreams are, being comfortable with what your version of success looks like and how to plot a path towards your best life.

January seemed to go on forever and it might be why so many of us are feeling depleted, tired and burnt out before the first month was over, but in this episode I share what I think might be a useful way to re-frame how you look at productivity and avoid burnout and exhaustion altogether.

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.
From navigating infidelity, divorce, unhappy relationships, mental and emotional breakdowns, going back to bed, losing friends on the way, the discomfort of mid-life and what it really means to be neurodivergent in the world... This is a wide-ranging conversation and I sincerely hope you love it!

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...

Kierra Campbell blew me away with her honesty in this episode. She really is what dream guests are made of; honest, willing to go to uncomfortable, sometimes difficult places, but always keen to make sure listeners have a great time and hopefully come away with something useful for their time spent with us.
Kierra is one half of interior design duo Poodle & Blonde and we meet her when she's poised to make some serious changes in her life and though it's a lot of change at once, she's seeing it as a sign that she's ready for growth and new adventures. It's a refreshing and reassuring attitude and one I intend to emulate next time I feel overwhelmed.
During our time together Kierra shared her life lessons learned from a difficult, unstable childhood, navigating the business world as an young, black female entrepreneur and how her business and business partner taught her how to trust...
