Ferne first rose to fame on The Only Way Is Essex and has since appeared on shows like I'm a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! and Dancing on Ice.  Ferne talks candidly about the hormonal changes she experienced during and after pregnancy, and how breathwork learned through hypnobirthing helped her stay calm and manage stress during childbirth. She also opens up about how pushing herself beyond her comfort zone - whether learning to skate for Dancing on Ice or taking part in Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins, has strengthened her resilience and confidence. She reflects on the value of embracing challenges and aims to inspire curiosity and courage in her daughters while continuing to embrace these qualities herself.  Their conversation then turns to perimenopause, with Louise explaining how fluctuating hormones after pregnancy can affect mood and wellbeing. The episode closes with Ferne sharing her three take-home tips, plans for an exciting new podcast, Every Cloud, and other upcoming projects.  We hope you're loving the new series!

Welcome to episode 17 of the You Can Adopt podcast, hosted by Debbie, a returning host to the podcast, talking to mother and daughter Lizzy and Lilybelle about their experience of adoption, growing up with foster carers, and maintaining contact with foster and birth families. Debbie and her husband Dave have fostered over 200 children over the span of 30 years, after ‘falling' into fostering when she was in a restaurant 30 years ago and saw a mum struggling with crying children at a table next to her and offered to help mind the children. Debbie discovered the woman was fostering the children and decided to give her number to the lady to pass on to social services so she could do the same thing. Having fostered children of all ages and having four birth children herself, Debbie has experience caring for children across the spectrum. Debbie has also appeared on reality TV show The Only Way Is Essex with her daughter, Lydia Bright. Lizzy is Lillybelle's adoptive mum. She and her husband are also mum and dad to their two other adopted children. In this episode they speak with Debbie about their adoption journey, how they prepared for Lilybelle's adoption, and even share extracts from a book Lilybelle has written about her experience of adoption, ‘In my own words'. There is also a special guest appearance from their dog, Bronson. Lillybelle says: “I've got three families in total, but it's like one big family. I've got my birth family, which I still write letters to. I've got a foster family, which mummy's still in contact with. And I've got my adoptive family, which I'm living with now. It's nice because I don't actually live with a massive family, so it's not too overwhelming with so many people. But they're still in my heart, and they're still in my mind. I think of them lots and I've got loads of memories of them. It has been difficult sometimes. It's also been emotional sometimes, but most of the time it's been great.” Thanks for listening! PAC-UK is the country's largest independent adoption support agency and works with all of those affected by adoption and other forms of permanent care to provide advice, support, specialist therapy and counselling.

If you're a big fan of reality TV, some of you might be familiar with my next guest. Charlie King was once famed for his role on The Only Way Is Essex and known best for his very dramatic relationship with the one and only Gemma Collins. The series followed his attempts to become more of a man as he started changing what he wore and how he spoke in a bid to fit in. He then had a brief departure from the show during which time he came out as being gay.Since leaving the show in 2015, he has struggled with both depression and body dysmorphic disorder. The pandemic was a challenging time for all of us. And Charlie admits that psychologically he was not in a good place, which led him to get surgery on his nose. Charlie now uses his platform to call for mental health awareness on this issue, and I'm so glad to be able to get the chance to talk to him about it today.Charlie King is an ambassador for the Body Dysmorphia Foundation: https://bddfoundation.org/Follow Hurt to Healing on Instagram: @hurttohealingpod--A big thank you our wonderful charity partner Shout.

Katie Thistleton meets trail-blazing reality TV star Amy Childs. Since hitting our TV screens in The Only Way Is Essex, Amy Childs has stayed in the media spotlight, and how she looks has always been under scrutiny. Starting at the age of just 18, Amy has undergone several cosmetic surgery treatments and ended up hospitalised after serious problems after one procedure. Many teenagers look up to Amy, who is also a businesswoman and model, but now Amy wants to set the record straight for young people who are considering surgery, because she regrets ALL the cosmetic treatments she'd had over the years. Whether it's because of the pressures of social media or just to keep up with current trends, many teenagers claim they want cosmetic surgery. Katie takes Amy to surprise teenagers Bailey and Cristabelle who are both determined to have cosmetic surgery when they turn 18. Amy tells them about everything which has gone wrong with the treatments she's had and why she regrets the decisions she made. Although she understands why they feel so anxious about how they look, Amy says it's really important it is to think about the possible long term consequences before they get any cosmetic surgery themselves.
