Isobella Jade shares nineteen preserved voicemails from her father who died in a fire at his home, compiling three months of voicemails from December –February.

"I didn’t have to go to his car or the sight at all. I had seen news articles and images of the remains of his home already, and I knew how terrible it was. I didn’t have to go to see it. During my visit to Syracuse, I could have just went to the funeral home to pick his remains in an urn. I wanted to see in person the wreckage. I wanted to inhale the air where he died. And I wondered if anything at all, some sort of a keepsake, a token of his life, would be there at his car." -Isobella Jade

Why do some short people lie about their height? How much difference does a few inches make? Felicity Evans is 5 foot (152 cm) tall. That's 5 inches shorter than the average woman in the UK. In this edition, she examines whether society discriminates against short people and if so, why? She asks what's it like being shorter than normal and how it affects your self-confidence, career choice and overall happiness. She talks to Joe Mangano, who at 5'4” hasn't grown since he was 15 years old. He describes how it feels to be treated like a child. Orthopaedic surgeon, Dr Dror Paley, explains how he makes patients taller by breaking then lengthening their legs. Felicity meets Vince Graff (5 foot 2”) who shares his experience of finding love and happiness, despite being well below average height; and Isobella Jade, known as the ‘shortest working model in New York City', offers her advice on how to be successful despite being at least 6 inches shorter than the average catwalk model. The programme also hears from Tim Frayling, Professor of Human Genetics at Exeter University and Lance Workman, Professor of Psychology at the University of South Wales.

"If something has been on your mind for some time now making you wonder if it’s possible or if taking that chance would be worth it and if you should pursue it, recognize it as your inner-voice, there’s a purpose for that thought of wonder, that something is not something to ignore, that ‘something’ is what you should do." In this segment Isobella Jade shares how she stays inspired while setting and accomplishing goals. "It's not easy to encourage yourself sometimes but think about the reason why you want to do something, think about why it is important to you and the joy of finishing something and reaching that place of fulfillment from not giving up and sticking with it." This segment is based on listening to that voice inside and going with your gut and giving yourself and your goal or dream a chance. for more on Isobella Jade and to check out her books stop by: www.isobelladreams.com
