Katherine May

How often do you cultivate quiet moments that are just for you? Best-selling author Katherine May believes being alone doesn’t necessarily mean feeling lonely. In this chat, Fearne and Katherine talk about how nature retreats and blooms across the seasons, and why it might be helpful for us to think of each of our own years in a similar way. Plus, they chat about why we find it harder to be wrong than we used to; how can we better cultivate community in order to keep being curious about different experiences and opinions? Katherine also talks about learning she’s autistic later in life. Katherine’s latest book, Enchantment, is out March 9th: [https://linktr.ee/enchantmentbook] (https://shared.outlook.inky.com/link?domain=protect-eu.mimecast.com&t=h.eJxNzksLgkAUBeC_IrOuGR-pjRAJ1aZFixYF7m7jNQedUeZBRPTf0yDoLA-Hj_Mi3vSkCEjr3GgLxkYzOBRuiZ4qqVCAdVQMilkG2f66e4zZWj6r8FjZy7k7nLb1oEDqTS915wxFJIuAdDP4VP5uBj8yCwZa-milw_JXfsmQ83UDt6ZBkXJYpZyLOG3CHDFapRFELMryKXGS5DTOZxi_T0HrCXTeaDTlBKCZOOq7eVHPi__u_QGHekjZ.MEQCIAeAusL7Pl157ZPPe0LjogY9mWuwoGlcJSjm_WQABwXcAiAFvWsqdRqJwb1vms5ulGR383YNw2mIyeAMp2B7iXqmwA) Hosted on Acast.

Taylor Jenkins Reid

For author Taylor Jenkins Reid, fame is a brilliant lens through which to examine societal expectations of women. The female celebrities in her glamourous novels all navigate the restrictions put on their behaviour in very different ways, in turn mirroring how all women – famous or not – might feel compelled to act. In this chat, Fearne and Taylor share how much of their own self-worth is wrapped up in their perception of what they’ve achieved, across both a day and an entire lifetime. Plus, Taylor explains why we don’t necessarily know who we are until we give a lot of activities and jobs a try, and why pure, unadulterated joy is just as good a reason as any to do something.

Gabor Maté

In this chat, Fearne and Gabor discuss the relationship between mental stress and physical outcomes, as well as the way in which the political systems we live in are having a huge impact on our personal mental health.

Music can change your state of mind. Shania Twain, the best selling female artist in country music history, has been using songwriting as therapy as she works through a difficult period in her life. In this chat with Fearne, Shania explains how the repetition of words in the songs she writes can act like therapeutic mantras, both evoking and releasing emotions.

Dr Julie

It’s important to let the down days happen, to acknowledge them as part of the human experience rather than trying to fight them. Clinical psychologist and online educator Dr Julie believes the goal of therapy shouldn’t be to make ourselves be constantly happy all the time. In this chat, Fearne and Dr Julie explore why anxieties and fears can sometimes serve us, and why it’s healthy to allow space in our lives for all emotions to come and go. Dr Julie also talks through some of the tools we can all try to use when we’re in distress that – if practiced regularly – could have a real impact on our mental health. Dr Julie’s book, Why Has Nobody Told Me This Before?, is out now. You can follow Dr Julie on Tik Tok: [www.tiktok.com/@drjuliesmith] (https://www.tiktok.com/@drjuliesmith) Hosted on Acast.

They also discuss how acknowledging that everything is always changing can help us be more present and appreciate the moment now. ‘Lighter’ by Yung Pueblo is out now, and is a guide to deep healing and self love.

Adam Lambert

Do you ever feel like you’re in your own way? Like the only obstacle stopping you achieving success is your own lack of self-belief? This is something pop icon and Queen front man Adam Lambert has spent a career navigating. In this chat with Fearne, Adam opens up about how he came to understand that he has anxiety. Looking back, he’s clear that having to supress his queer identity for a long time compounded his stress, and that while becoming famous alleviated some stresses, it created many others, including a huge pressure to constantly perform at a high level. They also talk about the positive impact Adam’s personally found taking medication has had on his mental health. Adam’s single, Ordinary World, is out now, and you can pre-order his album, High Drama’, now too. Britain Get Singing airs on ITV on Christmas Eve. Hosted on Acast.
