“I believe in second chances” Laura is, in her own words, a biker with a love for anime and gaming. With her motorbike, she has reached 37 countries and crossed 100,000 miles, all solo. I was blown away by the confidence Laura exudes in her solo motorbike adventures. Hearing about these types of quests has always inspired and challenged me, regardless of the gender of the person in the saddle. Yet...

“I know my kinks to a T”  Virgin Island Season 2 contestant Marianne Banda is much more than her participation in the Channel 4 show. She is an actress and a singer/songwriter with a spice of ADHD. Such an open-hearted, authentic, clean and clear communicator, Marianne Banda was a joy to meet. She taught me with grace some terms about race and let me in on her experience of being brought up in Sou...

She has been married to her husband for 57 years and together they have seen 11 grandchildren grow up before them. Hazel is a singer, author and counsellor living in East Sussex. My mum. Just saying that brings a swell of tenderness. Having her step into the bath with me felt lik...

“Be curious, don’t be scared, it has to start with us.”  Rachel was the first stranger to climb into the bath with me. The first person to enter this odd, intimate little space without knowing me at all. That alone felt like an act of trust.  The way she arrived, open‑hearted, curious, unguarded, felt like a gift.  Our conversation didn’t unfold like an interview. It unfurled like recognition. Rac...

“I was magnificent. I thought, I’d tap that.” Having DK in the bath with me felt like such a gift: a generous offering of time, knowledge and presence. So many people want to understand gender more deeply but feel awkward, shy or unsure where to begin. Gender, with all its limbs and layers, can feel like unfamiliar terrain. And then there was DK: grounded, kind, clear and willing to meet every que...

Winner of Ch4 Handcuffed Series, Charlie Grey.  “I had to get a bodyguard to protect us from him” Charlie arrived with a kind of openness that immediately softened the room. There’s a gentleness in the way she speaks, a tone people too often misread, but if you sit with her for even a moment, you feel the steadiness beneath it.  This is why I want us to linger longer with one another, to move past...

“God, you gave this life to us, now take her home” In this episode we both open up and share our story of losing our third daughter, Florie Briah, to a rare virus... an experience that deeply changed our world view.   There is so much more to share here; how we were impacted, what was happening at the time in our wider life, how we both found a huge spiritual awakening and much more… We’d happily...
