Ep 9 - Emily Grace-Ling - Nothing to Prove, Everything to Share

Épisode 9

vendredi 31 juillet 2026 • Durée 53:29

There's something quite extraordinary about Emily Grace-Ling. She walks into a room, exactly as herself, and somehow makes everyone around her feel a little more at home.

In this episode, Emily takes us on a journey that spans continents, cultures and one very iconic stage. From her first ever job in an Adidas commercial during lockdown, to finding her family amongst the cast of The Lion King, to performing night after night with arthritis, this is a story about showing up fully, even when it's hard.

We talk about what it really means to be an Asian actor in the western world, the community she found in the most unexpected places, and why she believes the words we use are quite literally spells.

But more than anything, this conversation is about that little girl in the photo she brought with her. The one she performs for every single night.

Because Emily doesn't do this to prove anything to anyone. She does it to share something and by the end of this episode, you'll feel exactly what that something is.

Warm, funny, grounded and genuinely full of heart…this one will stay with you.

Ep 8 - Colin Charles - It's Never Too Late to Be Great

Épisode 9

vendredi 26 juin 2026 • Durée 01:19:26

Some people talk about determination, Colin Charles has lived it.

From a working class background in an industry that wasn't built for him, to standing on the most iconic stages in the world, Colin's journey is one of those stories that makes you sit up a little straighter and believe a little harder in yourself.

In this episode, Colin opens up about what it really takes to make it in musical theatre. The rejection, the barriers, the moments where someone looked him in the eye and told him, in not so many words, that he didn't belong. And what he did with every single one of those moments.

We talk about how the industry has changed, why social media has shifted everything, and why the most dangerous thing a performer can do is stop learning. Colin is living proof that talent gets you in the room, but tenacity, willpower and sheer determination are what keep you there.

There's wisdom here for performers at every stage. Whether you're just starting out or wondering if it's too late, Colin's story has something important to say to you.

Honest, inspiring, and genuinely hard not to be moved by.

Ep 7 - Donna Easton - Making Happiness and Joy a priority in Life

Épisode 7

vendredi 29 mai 2026 • Durée 01:07:30

You know those conversations that just make you feel better about being alive? This is one of them.

Donna Easton joins us for a warm, funny and genuinely life-affirming chat about something we all deserve a lot more of - joy. Not the Instagram version. The real, messy, dancing without wine kind.

We talk about the days when life feels like a mixed-up soup, why we need to stop punishing ourselves for being human, and how something as simple as the words we use about ourselves can change everything.

There's also a very important conversation about social media and what it's quietly doing to young people's sense of worth.

And then there's Little Olive. Donna's nan. Silly, badass, and honestly a blueprint for how to live.

Donna shares her three keys to unlocking joy that might just change how you look at an ordinary Tuesday and her advice is the kind that sticks with you long after you've finished listening.

Funny, honest, and full of heart. This one's a good one.

Come as you are. Leave a little lighter.

Épisode 5

lundi 9 février 2026 • Durée 01:16:22

In this episode, we dive behind the curtain with Bethany Weaver in her first ever interview as she shares her incredible journey from teaching at Stagecoach to stepping onto one of the most iconic movie sets of all time - Wicked: For Good.

We talk about everything from her early performance instincts to surreal moments like meeting Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo, the quirks of filming with a dog on set, and what it felt like to put on THE blue and white gingham dress.

Beyond the glitz, she reflects on:

The power of theatre and creativity to give kids options
Her favourite Wicked song (and the moment that made her cry)
How performance builds confidence, resilience, and spontaneity
The importance of being yourself — because that’s the best version

Armed with her trusty prop - a tiara - Hayley opens up about learning to wear her crown with confidence, building resilience in an unpredictable industry, and celebrating every small win (even if it’s just a post-it note reminder!).

We talk about:

Her early days teaching at Stagecoach and how it built her confidence
Creating At Home with Hayley from her dining room during lockdown and convincing big names to come on the show
