A superstar of the UEFA Women’s Euro 2022, Beth Mead became a household name this year. She won the Golden Boot and was named Player of the Tournament during the record-breaking tournament, which sky-rocketed the profile of women’s football. She recently launched the Beth Mead Scholarship at Teesside University and her book ‘Lioness - My Journey to Glory’ will be out in November 2022.

In this podcast, Beth describes her journey to becoming a professional footballer and reveals how her huge disappointment at missing out on the Olympic team a year ago was a pivotal point in changing her mindset. She shares how she got her head together for her best season ever and why turmeric and ginger, cod liver oil, magnesium, and protein shakes are musts that work for her.

Discussing issues such as training while having periods, being a role model, overcoming failure, following your passion, and remembering to enjoy life amidst great pressure, this down-to-earth chat is all about how to find your own personal winning formula and embrace life.

Madeleine Olivia is a sustainable living blogger, YouTuber and author, who champions low-impact and minimal living. Based in Cornwall, she shares her plant-based recipe creations and sustainable living tips with her audience, and has written a book, Minimal, about how to love yourself and the planet.

If you’ve been tempted by the idea of minimal living but thought it was unachievable, this episode is for you. Madeleine talks about a slow, kindness-based approach to sustainability – a refreshing take on a topic that can at times feel inflexible. She and Gemma explore how conscious decision-making benefits our wellbeing; letting go of perfection and how this can make way for self-discovery; and how being kind to ourselves, our bodies and the planet are one and the same. Plus Madeleine shares her wellness ethos, realistic advice on sustainable living, and practical plant-based recipe tips – including the secret to cooking great tofu.

Please be aware that the conversation does also briefly cover Madeleine’s recovery from an eating disorder. If you need more support on this topic, you can access information and resources at https://www.beateatingdisorders.org.uk/.

When it comes to sports legends, they don’t get much bigger than Jonny Wilkinson. He’s one of the most decorated rugby players and famously represented England in the 2003 World Cup Final, when his drop goal clinched victory for the nation in the last 30 seconds. However, in recent years he’s branched out: today he is a mental health advocate and motivational speaker. He hosts his own podcast, I Am, which features thought leaders and pioneers talking honestly about their challenges and inspirations. And he’s passionate about healthy eating, with his own range of fermented food products, No.1 Living, on sale at Holland & Barrett.

In this deep and spiritual chat, Jonny and Gemma discuss the importance of living in the now, and how it feels to reach your goals, only to have the experience not live up to your expectations. Jonny talks about how health isn’t a goal you can ever achieve, but a work in progress. He recalls how his passion for gut health started and what it means now, and how it’s part of his overall journey in terms of how his perception and appreciation of his body has changed since being a sportsman. This is a really rich conversation with so much for everybody to take from it, as well as Jonny’s practical tips for wellbeing.

Award-winning beauty journalist, broadcaster and diversity advocate Anita Bhagwandas has over 10 years’ experience working for the UK’s top women’s magazines, including Glamour, Stylist and Marie Claire. A figurehead for speaking out about inclusivity, diversity and racism in the beauty industry, she’s also known for starting the first plus size column in a luxury women’s title. 

With her debut book ‘Ugly’ out in February 2023, Anita talks to Gemma about how beauty standards have evolved over the ages, and how they impact our lives and define our identity. Their insightful chat covers not fitting in as a child in the 1980s, colourism, colonialism, living with ADHD, and the landmark moment of seeing an Asian person as a main character and love interest in Bridgerton season 2. She also shares advice on curating your social media feed to change your perspective, using beauty products as self care not concealment, and time management and self care when you have ADHD. This refreshingly positive podcast will inspire you to embrace your authentic self and celebrate your uniqueness.
