The Self Love Revolution

Grief isn't just about the loss of a loved one. It's a deep feeling of sorrow, and we grieve many things in life: the end of a relationship, chapters of our life that have passed, friendships that have come and gone, our children as they leave home. Does time heal all wounds? How do you move on when grief is taking you down? I'm joined by the incredible poet Donna Ashworth and psychologist Dr Lalitaa Suglani for some beautiful words of wisdom.

TW: This episode discusses suicide. I know toxic is a word that's often batted about on social media, but in this episode we're looking at what toxicity really means and how you can tell whether you have a toxic relationship in your life: romantic, parental or friendship. I'm joined by the incredible Josh Connolly, a resilience coach who raises awareness around addiction recovery and dysfunctional family environments.

From time to time, we all lose our mojo. There are times you just can't see the sunshine. But as women, we're used to spinning and changing and this episode is all about helping you get out of that funk. I'm joined by the incredible Nina Ambrose, one half of rants and big bants, to share how she picks herself back up from rolling in the deep.

Why do so many women talk to ourselves like sh*t? Why do we repeat self-destructive behaviour? I've been lucky enough to meet hundreds of women over the last few years and one thing we all have in common: we get in our own way. We find it hard to say no. We fear failure and insist on comparing ourselves to others. Today I am finding out how we can all stop c*ckblocking ourselves and finally stop the self-sabotage. I'm joined by Naz El-Mariesh, a women's empowerment coach and Sara Jane Maxwell, a wealth coach, who will talk you through how to identify which type of self-saboteur you are, and how you can overcome it.

For most of my life, I've tried to be perfect. The perfect wife. The perfect mother. The perfect friend. I wondered for years: where did these high standards come from? I have since realised that trying to be perfect will make for a very long, disappointing life. The Self Love Revolution is all about dispelling that myth and letting it go. This week I'm joined by bestselling author and psychotherapist Anna Mathur.
