S2, E5 / Hadeel Hassan: Being A Good Doctor, Running, and Living Life

Today's guest is the exceptional Hadeel Hassan, paediatric oncologist, ASICS Frontrunner, and, if I get my way, motivational speaker. Hadeel is a doctor (squared), an accomplished athlete, and an all round incredible human, and I loved hearing her chat about her enthusiasms as they were so wildly different from any of my own. Her view on life and how she treats her every day living were so inspiring, and I came away from it feeling so galvanised and ready to make the world a better place - I hope you love it too!

S2, E4 / Mélanie Johnsson: Illustration, Open Water, and Creativity in Motherhood

Today's episode is with Mélanie Johnsson, a freelance illustrator and creator of Spellbound Magazine, with a penchant for bright colours, good vibes, and eco-conscious messaging. I've been a fan of Mélanie's for a while now, so relished the chance to sit down with her (virtually) and ask what inspires her and what she's enthusiastic about! We chatted about her career as an illustrator and designer, her love for being near open water, and her need for creativity to always be involved in her life, as well as how excited she is about her imminent arrival.

S2, E3: Olive Pometsey: Writing, Dancefloors and Friends and Family

Olive Pometsey is currently the Junior Digital Editor at British GQ, and her writing is some of my very, very favourite. Whether she's bringing us takes on culture, technology, fashion, or Mariah Carey - all important cornerstones of modern life, don't @ me - her brilliance seeps through every line. I loved chatting to her about her journey into writing, her love of dancefloors and festivals, and the importance of friends and family keeping us grounded and connected.

S2, E2 / Zena Birch: Celebration, A Sense of Occasion, and Finding Joy in Everything (Even the devastating)

TODAAAAY I am joined by one of my favourite people in the entire world: Zena Birch, Humanist Celebrant.

Zena is a bottle of champagne in human form: effervescent, bubbly, luxurious, and one of the greatest things in life. It's quite daunting writing this description, because her way with words is so marvellous: and I loved listening to them as she gave a super honest and beautifully, generously raw insight into her enthusiasm for tradition, communing, creating a sense of occasion, and being alive and getting older.
