In this week's episode, which also happens to be the final episode of Season 1, while we all take a little seasonal break - I chat to Jeans Queen Donna Ida, founder of the eponymous luxury denim brand who is credited for making many famous backsides look even perkier and is absolutely a style icon in her own right.
We discuss how in Donna’s opinion the skinny jean will always be in style.
Donna shares her top tips for buying, styling and caring for denim and explains what makes Donna Ida jeans so special, and why buying one pair of her jeans is a far more sustainable choice than purchasing from the high street.
We talk about the comparison trap, how to survive on social media, how to love the body you have, Donna’s covetable wardrobe favourites and her ingenious packing tips.
Finally, you cannot miss Donna’s brilliant suggestion for using the loo in a jumpsuit - if you know, you know!!! You can follow Donna on Instagram @donnaida
Thanks so much to you all for listening, it really has been a wonderful first season, I am so grateful to each and every one of you for your support and I can’t wait to see you all again for Season 2 in the new year!
As always, if you love the pod please leave me a little 5-star review, and a shout out on socials would be so appreciated.

Today, by popular demand I’m welcoming back the one and only Tim Whild, who is becoming the resident ascension expert on the podcast!
We continue our fascinating conversation as Tim explains his own path to spirituality, and we chat further about just what on earth is going on in the world at the moment.
We discuss:
How he met and started working with the wonderful Diana Cooper.
The great cosmic moment in 2021, and how it was predicted by ancient civilisations.
The process of going from 3d to 5d, the obstacles along the way, what an ego-driven society looks like and his vision of the world when we complete this process in 10 years time.
The process of waking up and remembering who you are and how personal and spiritual growth is nearly always very uncomfortable.
….and so much more! So grab a cuppa or something stronger, sit back, and settle down to enjoy the next instalment of this series.

I’ve got a real treat in store for you today as I chat to the radiant Leanne Hainsby from Peloton who is just as beautiful on the inside as she is on the out!
We chat about how some things are just meant to be, and how joining Peloton was the best ‘yes she ever said’, as Leanne shares all the behind the scenes gossip, including how she was scouted to join by the one and only Cody Rigsby, her workout secrets, a typical day in the life and what it’s like being engaged to fellow instructor Ben Alldis.
We also hear about Leanne’s previous career as a dancer for the likes of Kylie Minogue and Taylor Swift, and the remarkable story of how she adopted a kitten from Katy Perry’s music video shoot.
Leanne also talks about how having trouble with her skin was a real mental health challenge, and how this crippled her confidence when her Peloton journey was just beginning. She shares the highs and lows of her recovery process and reveals which treatments really made a difference.
Finally, we have the loveliest chat about fashion and sequins and all things that sparkle! She sounds like she’s got the most fabulous clothing collection and thoroughly enjoys any excuse to get glammed up and hit the dance floor. My kind of gal!

If you are feeling at all low today, I urge you to listen to today's episode with quadruple amputee Alex Lewis who is quite simply the most inspiring human I have ever met. Despite his shocking story and challenging circumstances, Alex is a shining example of living life to the fullest and making the most of what you have.
Aged 34, Alex was suddenly rushed to hospital after suffering from ‘man flu’ which turned out to be something far more sinister and found himself fighting for his life. He ended up surviving but lost all four limbs and his nose and mouth in the process.
Most of us would have spiralled into despair and self-pity after something like this, but the remarkable Alex has taken a truly inspirational approach to what happened to him, and despite his considerable challenges, calls these recent years the best of his life.
Since becoming a quadruple amputee, Alex has found a new zest for life, and his positivity and determination is nothing short of awe-inspiring.
In this chat, Alex shares his story, the many challenges he faces, his incredible achievements in the last seven years and his dreams for the future - as well as his considerable love for all things fashion!
This is such an uplifting and powerful listen!

This week, I chat with leading Human Design Expert Jenna Zoe.
Human Design is a relatively new, but really fascinating belief system combining elements from Astrology, Kabbalah, the I-Ching and Quantum Physics providing a blueprint for each of us to live our lives based on the details of our birthdate.
It’s been described as ‘Astrology on steroids’, and I find it both uncannily accurate and absolutely fascinating, and it’s really helped me gain a deeper insight into myself and my loved ones.
Despite being rooted in so many ancient modalities, Human Design is still relatively new but has had an explosion of popularity in the last couple of years.
As I’ve found it really interesting, I thought you would too, so here is the lovely Jenna to explain the basics.
We then finish by having the loveliest chat about all things fashion!
You can find Jenna on Instagram at @my.humandesign and @jennazoe or visit @myhumandesign.com

This week I am chatting to health & beauty journalist Nadine Baggott, who has appeared on our television screens and in newspapers and magazines doing her thing – which she calls ‘beauty with the BS’ – for many years.
Nadine quite rightly believes that age is no barrier to looking and feeling great and has a YouTube and Instagram channel dedicated to creating informative beauty content for women over 40, which I love.
Nadine shares so many top tips as we chat about Coolsculpting, the artistry and pitfalls of injectables like fillers and Botox and her favourite hair products.
Nadine reveals the indispensable items she carries in her handbag, her regular beauty routines, which beauty products to invest in and which ones to save money on and her favourite treatments.
This conversation felt like a really lovely girl chat, and I’m delighted that Nadine has already agreed to come back for another instalment – as there is so much more we wanted to cover.

This week I’m joined by DJ Fat Tony who shares his incredible story with us, joined by his beloved dog Taylor who also joins in with the conversation occasionally!
Starting his career 3 decades ago at an age too young to mention, Fat Tony has had his say in paving the way for the UK’s current music scene.
He has played at the best venues around the world and is a regular performer at the most glamorous fashion events. Tony is the official DJ for the Beckhams and Versace and in 2020 released a documentary with Mixmag seen by over 6 million people, he also has a hilarious unfiltered ‘curated memes’ Instagram account which makes me laugh every day.
One of the most wonderful things about Tony is his brutal honesty about his many years of drug addiction and his poignant journey to recovery which he shares openly and discusses in this episode. This quite simply makes Tony one of the bravest and most inspiring people I know.
His book ‘I don’t take requests’ which documents his incredible story will be out next May.
We chat about his regular dinners at Elton John’s house and his impressive napkin collection, a typical day in the life of a world-leading DJ, and how to set the crowd on fire with a great DJ set.
Tony talks frankly about his lowest moments as a drug addict, what inspired him to get clean and how he has helped many others along the way including his good friend Boy George.
Finally, we have a great conversation about what fashion means to Tony, his style uniform, his trainer collection and some of the favourite pieces in his wardrobe.

This week, I chat to Celebrity charity campaigner and showbiz legend Nick Ede, who has been popping up on our tellies for the last 15 years, appearing on shows such as Project Catwalk as Head judge alongside Kelly Osbourne and Ben de Lisi, and winning Celebrity Ready Steady Cook against Sinita!

This week I am joined by Florist to the stars and tireless animal advocate Nikki Tibbles who is also accompanied by her 4 rescue dogs.
We chat about Nikki’s recent triumph at the Hampton Court flower show - The Rose Tea Garden - and Nikki tells us about her amazing charity - The Wild at Heart Foundation - and its wonderful animal rescue work.
Nikki and I first met when I was working with Dash dogs in Greece, which is an animal charity that I support with my family when we discovered the true horrors of the stray dog situation whilst on holiday out there, and we discuss the many challenges faced by the 600 million strong stray dog population around the world and the many ways in which we can help.
We finish of course, by discussing Nikki’s fashion favourites.
This episode has been brought forwards in light of the recent devastating fires in Greece, and the thousands of animals, in particular the thousands of Greek ‘Barrel Dogs’ who perished needlessly in the flames. DASH is caring for many injured and traumatised animals and survives on donations alone. Please support them if you can.
