Zoe chats about how we can manage our drinking a bit more mindfully and why it's not necessarily about giving up totally. We also talk about why midlife hangovers are VERY different to when we were younger, the importance of getting together with our friends and an excellent technique to lower anxiety quickly.I adore Zoe and love her realistic and authentic advice.

*This episode is supported by Aesthetic Source*It's such a pleasure to welcome the truly brilliant Dr Sophie Shotter back on the podcast.In this episode Sophie and I are chatting about the shift in the types of treatments that are now on offer, specifically those that offer incredible skin health. In essence, rather than being about covering up wrinkles and hiding signs of ageing, this is all about ageing healthily and with a gorgeous glow.Sophie and I focus in on two particular treatments. The first is called Sunekos and helps the skin regenerate and repair itself and the second is the first ever topical biostimulator. We also chat about why looking after our skin health is so important for the health of our entire body and Sophie shares lots of her brilliant wisdom.This is a fascinating chat about a very welcome shift in how we think about caring for our skin and feeling good about ourselves. Wrinkles are officially in Outspoken Beauties!!

In this episode I'm chatting to one of the most positive and joyful women I've ever met, the makeup artist and beauty writer Joyce Connor.Joyce's story is one of following her heart, making brave decisions and forging her dream career (all whilst being a single mum). It's also a story of making the most of every moment, embracing getting older and not being afraid to live alone.If you're feeling stressed or trapped or just need a bit of a boost today then I know that by the end of this episode everything will feel better. Joyce is a woman who has lived through the harder times but manages to see the positive and sprinkle a bit of joy wherever she goes. A real must listen!! (Listen to the end for some great beauty recommendations too).

What an absolute joy to welcome one of the stars of the very first series of RuPaul's Drag Race onto the podcast. My guest in this episode is the amazing Divina De Campo!Divina is in the midst of one of the most challenging roles of her career (well 14 roles in total). She's taking on the role of Amanda in the one person musical monologue Amanda - The Night Before Me. (Tickets are available here)During the episode we chat about Amanda which is a musical that takes place in the hours before her gender affirming surgery. As the clock ticks, she relives her entire life which is portrayed via the 14 different characters that Divina plays so brilliantly.As well as delving into Divina's performance of a lifetime, we talk about their own life, journey to self-acceptance and escaping society's expectations. I learnt SO much from them about being bold, brave and about a book that gave them the courage to be the amazing person they are today.If you feel stuck or that you are struggling to be the person who you really want to be, then I guarantee that you'll feel different when you've listened to this!

*This episode is part of a wider partnership with Gatineau Skincare*In this episode I'm chatting to the amazing Heather Berry. Heather is the Sales and Marketing Director of Gatineau Skincare and a woman who I have been getting to know over the last few months. (She's funny, outspoken and authentic...a true Outspoken Beauty!) During the episode Heather tells me the story of Jeanne Gatineau, a woman who was way ahead of her time and founded her business in the 1930's when she was in her mid 40's. Jean was an aesthetician who truly understood skin and her legacy lives on to this day. We go on to explore what makes Gatineau such a special brand .... the science, the independent clinical trials, the feel of the products, the excellent results AND the way it uplifts women. This is a brand that I rate incredibly highly and the more I use it the more I don't want to be without it.
