During this conversation we spoke about Palestine, Emma’s diagnoses of OCD and how it exasperated her existing feeling of sadness for Palestine. Forever grateful to...

In today’s episode, I was joined by the wonderful Zainib from Race Across the World. I slid into her DMs on Instagram and, to my surprise, she agreed to have a chinwag with me! I’m forever grateful to Zainib for agreeing to join me – talk about getting a self esteem boost! We had such a natural, wholesome and unedited conversation. We discussed a range of topics, including her experience on Race A...

This is “a bit of an everything episode,”, with my 5 year old Nael making a guest appearance, me thinking out loud and eventually summarising my dads episode in English! Come, let’s have some tea & a chat.

We hope you enjoy the episode as much as we did puttin...

An emotional conversation with my mum – aka LOZZA – on the pod. She took me on a journey through her childhood in Leicester in the 60s, to spending her teens in Pakistan in the 70s. We speak about her experience of being dual heritage, raising an only child in an Asian culture and returning to the UK with nothing else but two suitcases. It’s raw, it’s honest but it’s beautiful 🎙️

Chatting to my 13 year old baby cousin (at her request). She talks about her accomplishments since starting secondary school less than 2 years ago. We talked about bullying, identity and much more.

What better way to celebrate International Women’s Day than to share a story of a woman who has battled and achieved so much in life. This conversation with a stranger will stay with me forever. It was empowering & inspiring in so many ways and has left me feeling in awe of Holly’s journey. Please follow Holly on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/hollcallaghan?igsh=ejN3Y2NiM3VydWZr
