The Emma Guns Show

You could be fooled into thinking Keeley Hazell’s memoir, Everyone’s Seen My Tits, would be a nostalgic romp through the Noughties, featuring salacious gossip and saucy behind-the-scenes insights from a time when the Red Tops - the tabloid newspapers - loomed large.  What you actually get is a soul-bearing account of what it was like to grow up in a tough environment, both behind closed doors...

I recently stopped watching TV in the mornings, and it surprised me how much calmer and more spacious my day felt. It made me realise how many little habits quietly drain our time and attention, often without us noticing. In this episode, I’m exploring the hidden ways our hours get pinched, and sharing small, gentle swaps that can help us feel like the day belongs a little more to us. Hey! Why not...

The world feels pretty divided right now, doesn’t it? I’m convinced the mere fact so many people feel comfortable listening to music without headphones on public transport is a sign of the apocalypse. When it can often feel as though we’re surrounded by conflict, injustice and hatred, we are all people who fundamentally want the same things. That’s what Anjali Kumar discovered when she went on a s...

On a global scale, we can probably all identify that people such as Donald Trump and Meghan Markle polarise opinion to such an extent that they are the subject of millions of social media posts, podcasts, Youtube videos and media column inches. But what about your regular local emotional vampire? The friend, colleague, neighbour, acquaintance who somehow manages to occupy your thoughts, always be...

Recently, I’ve had a few of those awful dark nights of the soul. The ones where you can’t sleep because your brain is on that setting where it’s showing you all the mistakes you’ve made, all the things you did and are doing wrong and all the ways in which you are screwing up. Spoiler alert - your thoughts are not facts. However, that’s not to say that life’s experiences don’t all add up to series...

In this week’s Bullet Points, I take a look at the incredible ‘come back’ of Lindsay Lohan. She once was troubled but now she’s the most poised star you’ll find on a red carpet. It struck me that no one is asking about what happened for her to be able to come back from the brink and that perhaps, because she’s now arguably more beautiful than she’s ever been, that’s enough for people to assume she...

In response to the article I wrote in The Times about whether I was daft for not using skinny jabs to lose weight, I thought revisiting my conversation with Johann Hari about his book Magic Pill, which extensively researched the benefits, limitations and risks of GLP-1 Agonist drugs such as Ozempic, Semaglutide, Wegovy and Mounjaro. Johann is thorough and meticulous in his research and this interv...

Yes, you read that right... Ok, maybe not 'defence' but I'm curious about the wider social context and why it is that this person, at this time has generated so much interest and intrigued when porn has lived so comfortably out of public view. This is the brilliant piece in The Times by Janice Turner that's well worth a read for the wider context of this 'phenomenon'. 📧 Contact me: office@emmagun...

I wrote ' I Regret not Taking Ozempic ' on my Substack and after the HUGE response, I thought it'd be prudent to revisit this conversation with the addiction, parenting and relationship expert Mandy Saligari. In it we discuss the complicated relationship we can have with food and our bodies. Whether it's food addiction or something a little more complicated and why a distorted relationship with fo...

In this episode of Bullet Points, you can join me on the rollercoaster of cutting my own fringe, plus why I've decided to put a paywall on my Substack. Yep, I've been writing and posting on my Substack for free and as someone said to me recently, 'how are people going to know your time and effort are worth anything if you're constantly giving it away for free?' 📧 Contact me: office@emmaguns.com...

Anxiety is a huge subject yet it's only really in recent years that we've started to accommodate as a very natural and normal emotional state. In the past, being anxious might have been seen as not being able to cope, being sensitive or needing to 'buck up' and 'get on with it'. In fact, you could argue that the world has gone from being fairly intolerant of it to being hyper aware of it. Dr Tracy...

I've just finished reading The Courage to Be Disliked by Ichiro Kishimi and Fumitake Koga so thought this Bullet Points could be a book review of sorts. I've summarised what I think they key takeaways are and how I think it can be helpful and if you'd like to me to do something similar/the same for another book, let me know by emailing me at office@emmaguns.com 📧 Contact me: office@emmaguns....

I had a huge response on Instagram when I shared the best information I’ve ever heard when it comes to why protein is such an important macro nutrient. For that reason, I thought I’d share it with you again in case you missed it first time around. Right now, you can’t move for protein printed across most food packaging. Even chocolate bars have got in on the action, producing ‘high protein’ variet...

It's all been a bit much lately, to be honest. Turns out, a 'sorry we missed you' notification on a day when I had WAITED IN ALL MORNING was the straw that broke the camel's back. The real lesson here is that I need to refresh my coping mechanisms because something as trivial as missing a delivery, albeit for a replacement internet router because my one inexplicably gave up a few days ago, shouldn...

We're back with the a Bullet Points episode because I've just watched the news and some reactions to the Sean Combs case have left me, well, confused. Are we so blinded by celebrity that abandon common sense?

I spoke about this over my Substack this week but, my word, the new series of And Just Like That has made me feel really scared about getting older. What happened to the dynamic, powerful women from Sex and the City - I want them back! Also, my latest weight loss update is one I wasn't expecting. The pump from the gym feels great but after weeks of feeling leaner, it's surprising to feel swollen a...

This episode is brought to you by a migraine. If it feels all over the place, it's because I'm all over the place today thanks to a humdinger of a migraine that's left me feeling like a slightly lopsided, cloth-tongued, weepy-eyed wimp. With that said, there are things to discuss. Such as the reaction to my weight loss, why I want to defend Jeremy Clarkson and why being slightly 'perfect' online g...
