*********

Previous episodes are more selfhelp and interview based

I have lived a full life, been married, divorced, travelled with others and alone, been to concerts and festivals alone. I have run a marathon, owned and run my own small holding and separate dog walking business, I ride horses and currently own a rare breed Fell pony called Merlin. I have taken part in dressage, show jumping, cross country and long distance rides. I have been on a South African Wildlife Safari, riding horses amongst zebras and giraffe. I have worked for a Royal College, a Castle on a small country estate, in book production and publishing, for Italian and Chinese companies.

I started my podcast to help me survive divorce, it has taken me on an incredible journey and I have pushed myself out of my comfort zone, doing activities the stories of which are available for you to listen to. I have met some incredible individuals along the way, real people who have overcome lots of different life challenges.

I have found myself having coffee with Paula Radcliff in Manchester, I have met Chris Evans, been interviewed by him on Virgin Radio, I have met the inspirational Richard Branson, sat next to the lovely Jake Quickendon at a charity event and asked him if he was on Instagram. I have worked on my self development, physical fitness and mental health, having suffered from social anxiety and had a massive lack of self confidence and I talk about this in my podcasts. By pushing myself to do all the things I talk about in my podcast, I have built up resilience. I am now mentally strong enough to date and my podcasts are currently on this topic. There are interviews with some truly inspiring real people to have a listen to, real life role models, who have overcome real life situations which you can listen to for advice and encouragement to help you through life.

Oh and I am James Blunts girl from the subway and it's not just the one song! I didn't want to be famous or judged for not being as beautiful as people imagined me to be, as I look in the mirror and don't see it, true beaty is within you. I also don't want to be known as that woman that the song is as about. I am my own person and its important that I have my own identity.

Week 14
A bit of an emotional episode this week, I relate my frustrations of seeing how James Blunt and his wife have lived a luxurious lifestyle, while in contrast my life has been a struggle and it would have been a lot easier for me if I had, had some support from him. Instead he has just used me as the inspiration for his songs and watched me struggle through life, not lifting a finger to help me. Now you might understand the line in Beside You, nobody knows how the melody goes, but its keeping me dancing beside you. I am also frustrated at how difficult it is to get media stories out, I am fortunate to have a link to Virgin Radio, so it will get out eventually, but how many other people are in my situation where famous people have committed wrongs against them and they believe that they will not be heard or believed. I have good news on the Pippa and Flash front. I give my views on what we should be teaching kids in school and why anyone would want to spend 2.8 million USD on a bottle of whiskey.

Week 3
This weeks podcast probably isn't so humorous, but that's life isn't it, sometimes we have good weeks and sometimes we have bad weeks. One thing that I have learned is not to tolerate the people in your life, who say they want to be involved in your life, try and get your attention then use silence as a form of emotional abuse, to make you doubt yourself. People who start criticising things you are doing, making people close to you see you in a different light just because they are jealous that you are getting more of that persons attention. They make you feel like you have done something wrong, when actually its them, you are the person who is going out and doing it. This type of behaviour causes anxiety in people, the person experiencing it will worry about what they have done to upset you, it is a manipulative form of behaviour and should be recognised as such. If your partner is an anxious person, a sign will be that they keep asking you if you are ok, when they are actually projecting their feelings onto you which is a sign of anxiety. Look out for people taking advantage of them and treating them in this way and don't be afraid to call out the behaviour and make a thing of it. It's not acceptable to be treated in this way and if you want someone's friendship or support this is not a genuine behaviour, a genuine person will say something to your face, not to someone else behind your back.
