Fashion Weekly Podcast With Miranda Holder

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. You can find Tim at https://www.timwhild.com/.

Today I'm chatting to the wonderful Nicola Lewis, also known as This Girl Can Organise, professional declutterer, recycling expert and good all-round Mary Poppins who is here to motivate us into getting ourselves sorted. We hear why Nicola decided to create a business tidying up, why she loves her job and hasn't looked back since she began. We discuss common challenges in staying on top of a busy family home with some ingenious solutions, the mental health aspect of getting organised, and how to use this time as an opportunity as Nicola says, to bring a little sunshine into your home. Nicola also shares her wisdom on growing your own business, conquering social media, and then we have a lovely fashion chat and hear all about the sparkly, colourful rainbow that makes up the favourite pieces in her wardrobe.

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!

I've got a treat in store for you today, as I'm chatting to the gorgeous Roxie Nafousi, and we are getting down and dirty with the fundamentals of manifesting!

Roxie is a Self-Development Coach, Manifesting Expert, Ambassador for the Mental Health Foundation, Instagram Agony Aunt and contributor to Kourtney Kardashian's wellness platform, POOSH. She has her first book coming out in January called 'Manifest', which is available now for pre-order.

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   Useful links:   My website:  https://www.mirandaholder.london/ My blog:  https://www.mirandaholder.london/blog Follow me on socials: Instagram: @themirandaholder Facebook: @themirandaholder Twitter: @MirandaHolderLN Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/miranda-holder-614098150/

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.
