Episode 1 of Season 2 is here of the Jeans and a Nice Top podcast with me, Chelsea Little!!! In this episode I talk to Samantha Baines who delves deep into divorce and some of the biggest learning curves she has faced in opening up the conversation on coming out as bisexual and finding your voice, the healing power of comedy and most importantly working on Magic Mike and being best friends with Channing Tatum. Samantha Baines calls herself a joy facilitator and I couldn't find a more well fitting descriptive for this bisexual, deaf, divorced, actress, comedian and author (epic title huh?) Blue tic on Instagram and Twitter and rightly so, her openness and compassion to everyone and passion in sharing others stories is apparent in this episode, and her truthful depiction of divorce and relationships eased the pressure I personally feel as a 20 something to tick off all the boxes of marriage, kids, house etc before I'm 30. I hope you walk away with a best friend and a warm heart like I did.

This is Part Two of my chat with Sam Baines, my first guest for Season 6 of the podcast, and a woman that I've know for a few years after she was shortlisted at the inaugural International Women's Podcast Awards back in 2021. It's fitting that she's first this season, because she's been the first woman to do a few other things too. Sam is an award-winning comedian, podcaster, author, actor, broadcaster and general legend. In 2014 she won the Funny Women Awards, and subsequently went on to scoop of the 2015 ‘What the Frock' Best Newcomer Award. But that's not all. As an adult, Sam experienced hearing loss, and is now a deaf activist, hearing aid wearer, and an ambassador for the RNID.She's written two children's books, Harriet Versus The Galaxy and The Night The Moon Went Out, and she tells me in this conversation about how she got her first book deal (spoiler alert: she wrote it without an official offer). Her new book, Living With Hearing Loss and Deafness, is available to pre-order now. As well as all this, she's got an award-winning podcast, The Divorce Social, discussing, surprise, surprise, divorce, and her acting credits include The Crown, Call the Midwife, and Magic Mike Live in the West End. There is nothing this woman can't do.We covered SO much ground in this chat, which was recorded aaaages ago live at The Podcast Show - basically I had to give myself a good kick up the arse to get the podcast moving again in 2023, so that's entirely on me. There was so much good stuff that I cut it in two. This is part two. Enjoy.
