Mire megszokjuk a hónapok ritmusát, bekúsznak az életünkbe a hőhullámok, hullani kezd a hajunk, a súlyunknál pedig csak a hangulatunk ingadozik jobban. Vagy nem? A menstruációs ciklus a női hormonrendszer tükörképe, a női szervezet működésének naplója, de tényleg eljön az a pont, amikor a havi vérzés elmarad és a menopauza megjelenik, mint állapot – minden nehézségével együtt. Mert a nők általában nehézségekről számolnak be, még azok is, akik egyébként alig várják, hogy megszabaduljanak a menzeszüktől. Van, aki a nyitott hűtő előtt lel menedéket, más hormonpótlással enyhíti a tüneteket, megint mások pedig alternatív támogatást keresnek. És hogy mit mond a ciklustanácsadó erre? Vendégünk Munkácsi Eszter női tanácsadó, cikluskövetés-oktató, szülésznő és MINDEN. Arról beszélgetünk, mivel jár a menopauza, mi az, ami törvényszerű és mi az, ami nem, de a legfontosabbat már előre bocsátjuk, ha elmúltál 30, akkor már most tehetsz azért, hogy könnyebb legyen a szervezetednek a váltás időszaka. Bővebben: 00:00:20 - Mi tényleg mindent elviccelünk? 00:01:18 - Nóra csomagot kapott, mint újságíró. Ki nem találnátok, hogy mit! 00:03:00 - Mit tesz az állami egészségügy a menopauzával küzdő nőkkel? (spoiler: kb. semmit) 00:04:50 - Munkácsi Eszter a vendégünk, aki elég sok mindent el tud mondani a témával kapcsolatban. 00:05:30 - Tabutéma a menopauza, és miért? 00:08:50 - Mit és hogyan lehet megfogalmazni a közösségi médiában a női testtel kapcsolatban? Miért tilt le az Instagram és ez miért gáz? 00:13:00 - Az adás felvételekor mi nők minimum két műszakban dolgozunk. 00:16:20 - A menopauzáról alig van előzetes tudásunk… 00:18:50 - A menopauza pontosan egy nap: amikor már egy éve nem véreztél. Hogy jutunk el idáig? 00:20:00 - Ha nincs ovuláció, akkor az nem menstruáció, de a vérzés megmarad. Egy darabig… 00:25:20 - Adásban hazaküldjük a vendéget, szerencsére nem megy haza. 00:25:40 - A menstruációnak és a menopauzának nagyon rossz a marketingje. 00:28:10 - Tényleg már 30 évesen foglalkoznunk kell azzal, hogy milyen lesz a menopauzánk? Lekéstük a felkészülést? 00:33:10 - Az életmód a kulcs, és ebben segíthet minden mozgás, minden apró változás. 00:38:20 - Hogyan fogyasszuk a kurkumát? 00:43:10 - Segít bármit bármi, amit a drogériákban meg lehet venni? 00:46:50 - Nem baj, ha a tüneteknek az interneten nézünk utána, de fontos, hogy fenntartásokkal kezeljük. De ez azért eléggé igaz, nagy általánosságban is. 00:50:30 - A menopauza egy harmadik esély arra, hogy egy kicsit önző legyél és foglalkozz magaddal. 00:55:30 - Fáj a menstruáció? Hát fájnia is kell… 01:00:10 - Amúgy van jó oldala is a menopauzának, de mi most jól elmondjuk, hogy mi lehet jó!!! 01:07:45 - A menopauza a kínai orvoslás szerint a második tavasz. 00:12:20 - Meg is van, hogy miről kell még beszélnünk ezzel kapcsolatban! 01:14:00 - Szolgálati közlemény: Lesz könyvklub!! Olvasnivalók: Kicsit az elején talán ezt is elvicceltük, de a két könyv, amikről az adásban beszéltünk, tényleg nagyon jó szolgálatot tesz. A Menopauza másképp a Jaffa Kiadónál jelent meg kézbe fogható és e-könyv formátumban is, nagyon sok gyakorlati tanáccsal, és erőt adó háttértörténettel, többek közt arról, miért beszélünk ennyire keveset a menopauzáról, és hogyan tudjuk jól megélni azt. Tapasztó Orsi könyve, a Nem atomfizika - Útmutató egy jobb élethez pedig az Open Books gondozásában jelent meg, és bár elsősorban önismerettel, önazonossággal, önelfogadással foglalkozó kérdéseket feszeget - de amit a menopauzáról olvastunk benne, azt is fontosnak tartjuk a magunk, és mindannyiunk szempontjából. Munkácsi Eszter Insta-oldalát itt találod, a honlapját pedig itt. Az emlegetett riport Sophie Ellis-Bextor új albumáról és a perimenopauzáról. Zsuzsi külön kérésére itt tekinthető meg az ÁBRA, ami az adás végén szóba került. Podcastunk kéthetente jelentkezik új adással, meghallgatható a 444 Spotify- és Apple-csatornáján is.

Francesca Amber is a successful entrepreneur, podcaster and author who turned her life around using manifesting after everything went wrong for her in 2020.She has 3 daughters. Her eldest is 8 years old, and she has 4 year old twins who are starting school this September. In lockdown she lost her beauty business and her income and then had her twins as a single mother. She says she had a savage 5 years. But now her new book 'Manifesting Like a Mother' is published the day her twins start school and we mulled over how the timing is on this is so dramatic. We discussed the terminology of 'manifesting' and how Francesca thought I might have manifested the success of Murder on the Dancefloor!We agreed being a martyr as a mum is not a good thing, and Francesca described how she likes to schedule in quality time for herself, and buy herself lovely presents for her birthday and Mother's Day - and I've decided she should definitely treat herself to one of the tassley outfits I wear on stage!Spinning Plates is presented by Sophie Ellis-Bextor, produced by Claire Jones and post-production by Richard Jones.

Davina McCall, one of TV's most popular presenters has a new book out, Birthing, co-written with the midwife, Marley Henry. Davina joined Anita Rani to talk about her stellar career so far, including hosting Big Brother for 10 years, campaigning for better menopause care and building a fitness empire. What makes her tick? And what drives her forward to clear hurdles such as an usual childhood, drug addiction and most recently, brain surgery for a benign tumour that she nicknamed Jeffrey?As the 50th anniversary of Papua New Guinea's independence from Australia approaches later this month, we hear why the country is currently one of the most dangerous places in the world to be a woman. Two-thirds of women in PNG have experienced some form of sexual violence in their lifetime, which is almost twice the global average. Nuala McGovern was joined by Tahina Booth, a former elite athlete and founder of Grass Skirt Project who is trying to break the cycle of gender-based violence through sport and Joku Hennah, a journalist and activist.Jung Chang's Wild Swans, the epic family memoir that followed the lives of Jung, her mother and grandmother through China's 20th century, was banned in mainland China, but was a smash hit worldwide upon publication in 1991. Now Jung's sequel, Fly, Wild Swans, brings her family's story up to date and she joined Nuala to talk about its themes. We've all heard of the fight or flight response in the face of danger, but there's also freeze, and then there's fawn, also known as people pleasing, or appeasing. Clinical psychologist Dr Ingrid Clayton has written about this in her new book, Fawning - Why the Need to Please Makes Us Lose Ourselves and How to Find our Way Back. Nuala spoke to Ingrid about her own experiences that made her want to help others overcome this form of trauma response and what fawning looks like in practice.In 2023 Sophie Ellis-Bextor's Murder on the Dancefloor went viral on TikTok after Emerald Fennell used it in a key scene in the film, Saltburn. That resurgence, along with her popular Kitchen Discos that got lots of us through the Covid lockdown set the scene for her new album, Perimenopop, which is released tomorrow, a celebration of womanhood in middle age. Sophie joined Anita in the Woman's Hour studio.Presenter: Anita Rani Producer: Annette Wells Editor: Rebecca Myatt

We sat down with Sophie Ellis-Bextor and she was every bit the icon you’d hope for—warm, funny, and completely unfiltered. She opened up about balancing mum life with pop stardom, why she proudly called her album Perimenopop, and even joked about moving to Hungary for tax-free living with her five kids. Plus, we chatted Murder on the Dancefloor, Royal Otis, and the track she thinks you should play first.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We’ve got Albo rocking up in the wrong shirt to the wrong party, Glossy’s chaos with Ne-Yo’s four girlfriends (yes, four), Harry & Zoe sneaking out of JFK, and Joy spilling the tea on getting fired (twice!). Plus, Oasis hand out VIP spots while Gary Neville gets nosebleeds at the back, and we meet a Nonna who reckons coffee isn’t complete without a splash of limoncello at 10am. Oh — and we’ve got a chat with Sophie Ellis-Bextor you don’t want to miss.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

For decades thousands of pregnant women across the UK were prescribed the drug Diethlystilbestrol or DES, a synthetic hormone that was meant to help prevent miscarriage. But the drug left a legacy of life-altering health problems for some of their children, including infertility and rare cancers. Anita Rani speaks to ITV Social Affairs Correspondent Sarah Corker who has investigated what they are calling a medical scandal that continues to devastate lives, talking to the women who say more must be done to help those exposed to the drug as new concerns emerge over the impact of DES on a third generation.   Author Heather Morris wrote The Tattooist of Auschwitz, which went on to become one of the bestselling books of the 21st century. Her new novel, The Wish, follows Jesse, a 15-year-old with terminal leukaemia who wants to have a digital 3D recreation of her life for her family and friends. To accomplish this, she connects with Alex, a lonely CGI designer. The book explores their unlikely friendship and its impact on both of their lives. Heather joins Anita to talk about mortality, family, healing through connection and what it means to be remembered.Last week we heard from three women who have had a loved one take their own life. They spoke honestly and movingly about what happened to them in the immediate and long term aftermath of such a loss. Today we are taking a look at the historical context of suicide. Anita speaks to BBC New Generation thinker Dr Stephanie Brown, who is Lecturer in Criminology at the University of Hull and doing research in this area. In 2023 Sophie Ellis-Bextor's Murder on the Dancefloor went viral on TikTok after Emerald Fennell used it in a key scene in the film, Saltburn. That resurgence, along with her popular Kitchen Discos that got lots of us through the lockdown set the scene for her bravely titled new album, Perimenopop, which is released tomorrow, a celebration of womanhood in middle age. Sophie joins Anita in the Woman's Hour studio.Presenter: Anita Rani Producer: Corinna Jones

Stop, slow down, take a deep breath, pop fans! Before you go Out of Your Mind, we can confirm that what you see is what you get. We are finally doing a whole episode dedicated to Victoria Beckham's solo debut era, which launched 25 years ago this year. Your not-so-innocent pop explorers Joel and David are kicking off in the summer of 2000 with the monumental cultural shift that was Vicky B's UK Garage collab with Truesteppers and Dane Bowers, 'Out of Your Mind'. The whirlwind media saga, a nail-biting chart battle with Sophie Ellis-Bextor and Spiller ('Groovejet'), and a string of outstanding live performances from Party In The Park in Hyde Park to MTV in Mallorca... this set the bar extremely high for Posh Spice's solo debut in a midst of duelling Solo Spice releases and an actual Spice Girls comeback on the horizon! The episode also dives into the underrated 2001 "Victoria Beckham" album. A classy pop and R&B body of work made with some of the world's best songwriters and producers; the album gave us the Top 10 singles 'Not Such An Innocent Girl' and 'A Mind of Its Own'. We revisit the album tracks, music videos, visuals, live performances (hello, G-A-Y), photo shoot and b-sides! We look back at this incredibly intense period in David and Victoria Beckham's public lives - with TV documentaries, Victoria's memoir "Learning To Fly" and more keeping the public, media and pop fans fed. Dare we say, this is the most thorough and celebratory podcast episode dedicated to VB's solo career!Follow Right Back At Ya!https://www.instagram.com/rightbackpod/https://twitter.com/rightbackpodhttps://www.facebook.com/rightbackpodFollow Joelhttps://www.instagram.com/dr_joelb/https://twitter.com/DR_JoelBFollow Davidhttps://www.instagram.com/lovelimmy/https://twitter.com/lovelimmyEmail us rightbackpod@gmail.comSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

La music story du jour c'est celle de Groovejet…Il y a des œuvres qui vieillissent mal. On ne donnera pas de noms pour éviter le procès d'artistes souffrant du syndrome de Peter Pan, mais disons que tous les titres de Michael Jackson, de Madonna ou le Toxic de Britney Spears par exemple, ne traversent pas le temps avec énormément de facilités. C'est ce que je disais, ça sent le formol… Mais il y a aussi des titres qui eux, surfent les années comme d'autres les vagues de Nazaré, tel ce « Groovejet » sorti par Spiller et doté d'une voix unique, celle de Sophie Ellis Bextor.

Joining me today is Simon Merry. With over 25 years of experience Simon Merry is one of the UK's most in demand drummers. His style and professionalism has been sought after over the years for touring and recording by such artists as: George Michael, Ronan Keating, Boy George, Natalie Imbruglia, Gene Pitney, Olly Murs, Sophie Ellis Bextor, One Direction, Gary Kemp, Paul Young, Boyzone, Bananarama, Go West and Rick Astley. Join us for a fascinating conversation as we pick through some of the amazing highlights of his remarkable career so far. We of course talk about his gig with the legend that is Rick Astley (also a mean drummer as many of you will have seen) Simon also tells us how he got the Gene Pitney gig as a teenager, Simons dad was Gene's musical director and offerd the gig to Simon, not without a proper auduition first though, so certainly no favours and he had to and indeed did deliver the goods until Pitneys death in 2006. Simon, thank you for an absoloutely fascinating conversation! www.simonmerry.com

Hear more from us by signing up to the newsletter!Today on the podcast I am joined by Viv Groskop - writer, podcaster and comedian.Her podcast How to Own the Room has reached millions of downloads - and counts guests like Hilary Clinton, Margaret Atwood, and Sophie Ellis-Bextor, and is the biggest resource for public speaking in the world.But she didn't start as a public speaker. She was more known for her words than her voice, beginning as a journalist for publications like The Guardian and The Observer. She then ventured into the world of stand up comedy, taking on a crazy project project of 100 gigs in 100 days, all with 3 children under 6 - we talk about that today.I wanted to talk to Viv as I am quickly realising that one of the most important things to do is to become better at speaking. It helps you confidently share what you care about in the world, and put yourself out there. So many of us hold back, and I love to coach people on this 1-1.In this conversation, we'll talk about how you can get better at public speaking, what encouraged Viv to take up comedy as a second career, the downsides of fame and parasocial relationships, why stand up comedy isn't actually scary and lots lots more.Hear more from us by signing up to the newsletter!

Ro Fielden-Cook is a woman with a heck of a life story. She has 3 sons: twins Alfie and Charlie (aged 15) and Freddie (aged 7).She is the founder of a wellbeing and fitness community ‘The SHE Collective' which has a holistic approach to giving busy women more life, more confidence and more energy. She had her twins as a single mother as she left University. One of the twins, Alfie, was diagnosed with a life-limiting condition called SMA when he was still a baby. Her story of fighting for her son's health and then falling in love is jaw-dropper.Ro talks about her wonderful rock of a mum, and also about losing her incredible-sounding dad when she was a teenager. Ro's positive spirit is inspiring and I guarantee you'll be using her dad's motto ‘Onwards and upwards' when you've finished listening.

Ranvir Singh is a TV news presenter on Good Morning Britain, who I met on the set of ‘Lorraine' about a year ago - and I've been wanting to talk to her in more depth ever since.Ranvir is a single parent to her 13 year old son Tushaan.She grew up in a very religious Sikh household, having lost her Dad when she was only 9. She was the first girl in her family to go to University, and despite pressure to get married as soon as she left Uni, her laser beam focus on her career path remained.Ranvir and I shed some tears as she described the few minutes she would need to take on the driveway after work, before putting her key in the door. And towards the end of our chat, she shared some very emotional advice for any listener who feels themselves overwhelmed, and in that same position now.Spinning Plates is presented by Sophie Ellis-Bextor, produced by Claire Jones and post-production by Richard Jones.

Laura Hamilton is a TV presenter best known for presenting A Place in the Sun. She's been renovating properties since the age of 19 and has just taken on her first overseas project in Majorca, which she's filming, to create a guide to buying and renovating abroad.Laura has two children, 11 year old Rocco and 10 year old Tahlia, who she co parents 50/50 with her ex.Laura went back to work 3 weeks after having each of her children. She explained that was because she was scared someone else would jump into her shoes if she was away for longer. Laura's career to date is so jam-packed including being gunged on CITV, appearing in pantos, running the marathon, Dancing on Ice, and The Jump. She credits her Dad and his difficult start in life before finding music and happiness, saying life is just your story, and you've got to enjoy writing it. Cheers to that, Laura!

Cathy Dennis is a singer and a songwriter. I have been a huge fan of hers for years both through her solo music career and I've been lucky enough to write with her and get to know over the years. She is a true talent and a champion for music and creativity. She had a successful solo career in the early 90s, and then changed to songwriting in the 2000s, including writing Kylie's ‘Can't Get You Out of My Head', Britney's ‘Toxic' and Katy Perry's ‘I Kissed a Girl'.Cathy told me how she was bullied at school, from the age of 7-12, and how that may have equipped her to be strong and tenacious enough to be a woman in the music industry.She became a mum in 2004 (the same year I became a mum!) and found it a challenge to carry on with her career at that point but here she is, still writing and involved in music. Cathy credits her son Seb with being her solace when she's found her self on the 'nothing will ever be perfect' train. It was so gorgeous to talk to a friend who I admire and whose career is constantly evolving. A lovely conversation!

Velvet vibes. Open invite. Slip into something sinful and press play. You're about to be seduced by the ultimate Ibiza mixtape — a sensual, sweat-slicked journey through three decadent decades of dancefloor ecstasy. From the velvet grooves of the '80s, the hypnotic pulse of the '90s, to the euphoric highs of the 2000s… this isn't just a mix. It's foreplay for your soul. We open with Jamiroquai's Space Cowboy (David Morales Mix), a slow burn that melts into the lush heat of FPI Project's Rich in Paradise. From there, it's pure hedonism: Masters At Work, Full Intention, Soulsearcher, and that glorious Spiller x Sophie Ellis-Bextor tease that made the world fall in love on a dancefloor. Every beat, every remix, every bassline is dripping in desire — from the sweet ache of Show Me Love to the deep, body-moving throb of Deep Inside and the glitter-soaked rush of Groovejet. And just when you think you've had enough... You're hit with the finale: "Italian Piano Banger (Jazz Hand's Extended Mix)” — my unreleased love letter to ‘90s euphoria. Think laser lights, lifted hands, and pure unfiltered joy. This is your golden hour. Your afterparty fantasy. Let go. Turn it up. And lose yourself in the decadence. 1.

Jill Halfpenny has been an actor since the age of 10, first coming to our screens in Byker Grove in 1989, and most recently appearing in the Channel 5 drama The Feud. She has also appeared in Coronation Street, Eastenders, numerous TV dramas, on the West End stage and in Strictly Come Dancing.We shared our thoughts on dealing with downtime as performers, which has its challenges even in a busy career.Jill has a son Harvey who is nearly 17, and they clearly have a close relationship, based on honesty and openness, including during difficult times such as when her partner Matt died suddenly 8 years ago, in circumtances similar to how she lost her Dad aged 4. Sadly they both had unexpected heart attacks. Jill has recently written a beautiful memoir 'A Life Reimagined', which touches on both these deaths.Finally, I tried out Jill's Agony Aunt skills as she has a podcast 'Dear Jill' where she answers listeners' questions, from her Newcastle studio. I can now tell you that I am either on the right tracks as a mum or Jill was being extremely kind to me!Spinning Plates is presented by Sophie Ellis-Bextor, produced by Claire Jones and post-production by Richard Jones.

Rachel Kelly is a writer of many books about mental health and wellbeing and has recently published ‘The Gift of Teenagers: Connect More, Worry Less'. She is a mum of five grown up children.Rachel and I talked about the teenage brain and how it's wired for novelty, connection with peers, and altruism. We discussed how we could be more sympathetic to what teenagers are going through.She also had some timely tips on exam stress, which we could definitely do with in our house at the moment. Rachel told me about her own struggles with anxiety and depression, including being hospitalised and feeling suicidal, and she talked about how your teenager can come through difficult times feeling stronger, wiser and more amazing.She also said: don't give advice unless it's asked for.

Salima Saxton is a writer, an actor and a coach, and she co-presents the podcast ‘Women are Mad'. She has 3 children aged 9, 12 and 15 and she recently caught my attention with her amazing Moth story about a Valentine's Day announcement by her husband which changed her life. It's 5 minutes of supreme story telling; you must listen! Salima and I talked about how she grew up with an alcoholic Dad and was always trying to be a ‘good girl'. Now she embraces a messy, crazy family life and says it's vital to show up as yourself. Early in our chat we also confessed that we are both ‘secret control freak' mums, but let's not concentrate on that! I love Salima's idea of connecting with your 8 year old self and maybe doing some of the things that SHE used to love doing.

Paula talked to me about how her daughter went through a cancer diagnosis at the age of 13 and a half. She has happily since been given the all clear.

2002. The pop culture landscape would never be the same again.No, we're not talking about Robbie Williams £80m, six album deal (although Rudebox would indeed shift the landscape, if not exactly many copies).We're not even talking about Pop Idol top ten contestant Jessica Garlick coming (joint) third in Eurovision, although that was pretty good. We could be talking about the arrival of 6Music and BBC Four (TOTP RERUNS!!).But no, all of these memorable highlights take a positively backseat position against the stellar backdrop that was, quite literally, the 2002 Pop World! Boybands!Girl groups!Kylie!Coldplay!ABS!Don't be fooled listeners, 2002 consisted of twelve months that gave us pop memories like no other. Atomic Kitten rode the Tide! Britney loved Rock (‘n' Roll)! Daniel Bedingfield loved James Dean (possibly)! And amongst the idols and stars and academy's of TV talent shows increasingly speedy conveyor belts, the decade they continued to call the ‘noughties' moved up a gear thanks to Sugababes, Liberty X, Ms Dynamite and countless others. Where could it all end, we collectively asked (quite possibly via MSN messenger, or on a dial-up webchat forum)?And who better to navigate the BEST SELLING compilation of 2002, NOW 53, than senior producer for Listen the award winning premium podcast company David Manero! Taking time away from the Kitchen Disco with Sophie Ellis Bextor, Traitors Uncloaked, and the Pop Top Ten pod with Scott Mills and Rylan Clark, David shares his memories, hits and misses from the 43 Top Chart Hits across his two CDs (and a broken case). And, along the way, rediscover some genuine lost in the vault moments, find out what NOW whiplash is and how to avoid it, consider how the Spanglish Rappers Delight conquered the world, and marvel at how Teutonic techno troublers Scooter really were such a Big Thing.So, put down your Nokia 3310 or your Motorola Razr V3, switch off Big Brother 3, come out of the record department of Sainsbury's and tune into the best of 2002!I'm seein' stars, I can't believe my eyes… Hosted on Acast.

Actress Tuppence Middleton is perhaps best known for playing Lucy Branson in Downton Abbey.She has a little girl with her Swedish husband and divides her time between England and Sweden.I spoke to Tuppence the week before her memoir Scorpions was published. It's a highly personal book about living with OCD and it really helped me understand the day to day complexities of dealing with OCD and with emetophobia - the fear of being sick.We also talked about how OCD has given her a greater empathy for other people, and how it means she is always prepared for the worst case scenario.Spinning Plates is presented by Sophie Ellis-Bextor, produced by Claire Jones and post-production by Richard Jones.

Arlene Phillips is a choregrapher who has been at the top of her game for most of her 81 years. She has worked on the choreography for numerous adverts, musicals, film and videos.She has two daughters: Alana who she had early in her career when she was just about to go to Hollywood to make a film with the Village People called 'Can't stop the Music', and then she had her second daughter Abi when she was 47, when she actually thought her symptoms meant she was entering the menopause.We spoke at Arlene's house, and she told me how she lost her mum at the age of 15, and that her career path feels like a series of Alice in Wonderland moments that were magically presented to her.She also described how back in the 1979, the Hollywood film producer Allan Carr (iconic producer of Grease) greeted the news of her - his choreographer - becoming unexpectedly pregnant, with the offer of a nanny, a PA, a Winnebago on the film set, and a birthing guru called JIm! To say I'm envious is an understatement!Spinning Plates is presented by Sophie Ellis-Bextor, produced by Claire Jones and post-production by Richard Jones. Hosted on Acast.

How loud are the voices in your head that tell you you're definitely going to screw up that big opportunity? Sophie Ellis-Bextor is trying to make a point of talking to herself more kindly. In this chat, Fearne and Sophie talk about reminding yourself that your thoughts aren't facts; sometimes you have to override the voice that says you're not good enough and just get on with it to prove yourself wrong. Sophie explains why being dropped by her label at 20 encouraged her to take responsibility for her own career, and offers advice on how not to get distracted by what other people are doing with their lives. What should you tell yourself when you think you're going to give up on a passion? They also chat about not worrying where an opportunity will lead you, instead enjoying it as an adventure in its own right. Plus, why was Sophie petrified her BAFTA performance would be awful? Sophie has announced her biggest ever UK headline tour in May and June 2025!If you liked this episode of Happy Place, you might also like: Natasha Bedingfield Perrie Edwards Paloma Faith Hosted on Acast.
