Send us a text

This month’s guest is my wonderful teacher, mentor & friend - Mary Doherty (the best 🥹) and it means a lot to have her on the pod

Mary played Bonnie in the original West End cast of Come From Away and as part of that run, they won Best New Musical at the 2019 Olivier Awards

She’s also performed in musicals including Les Miserables, Avenue Q, Grease, Our House & Merry Wives (alongside Dame Judi Dench)

Mary has toured with the RSC & performed at the Globe, with her favourite role being Queen Margaret in the Henry VI trilogy

In 2012, she saw a space to help young actors on their journey to becoming professional actors & started the @theactorsclass which gets unanimous praise (having attended myself, all of it is deserved and much more - Mary creates an environment like no other 🪄✨)

Personally there have been challenges, with a difficult journey to motherhood but ending in an IVF miracle. Mary is a proud Mum of Annie!

Tring Park School for the Performing Arts 50th anniversary mug

‘You just need to get off the train’ Tea Talks with Claudia Posada: On comparison, busy minds and finding balance in 2025

vendredi 14 février 2025 • Durée 58:23

Send us a text

It’s Valentine’s Day and what a good reminder it is to be kind to yourself, not put yourself under too much pressure and most importantly to have fun! 🪩💌

Today we’re back with another chatty New Year’s episode with a twist as before recording Claudia & I spent the afternoon with card & magazines to put together mood boards for our 2025 intentions & beyond

We talk through our mood boards and why we were drawn to the things we chose. We discuss it all from finding calm, being more present, to not packing your schedule too full so you can find joy in the spontaneity of deciding what do to do on the day (like seeing it’s snowing and buying sledges 🛷 ❄️)

We’ve also moved to full video episodes so you can watch on YouTube & Spotify 📺 🥳 Video editing for the first time with a new software was an experience 😁 so bear with this first episode!

If you do watch it, spot my Valentine’s themed socks 💗 (which were entirely unintentional as we didn’t know when the episode was going out!)

We would love to hear about your 2025 intentions! 🎉

Available on all platforms now to listen or watch!

This month’s guest is the incredible Jazmin Sawyers. She’s a European gold medallist 🥇& 2 x Olympian but also does so many other things! It was a JOY to have her as a guest
