"Why Didn't Anyone Tell Me?": Samantha Alice Leigh on Motherhood, Hyperemesis Gravidarum, and Finding Herself Again (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Episode description Samantha Alice Leigh had hyperemesis gravidarum through two pregnancies. Sickness so severe she couldn't eat, couldn't leave her bed for months, and couldn't bring herself to celebrate either baby until she was 20 weeks along. This episode is about what that illness actually felt like, and what it took from her identity, twice over. Sam grew up in Oldham, the eldest of three, learning early to hold things together. She spent over a decade building a life in Australia with her
"The Woman Behind Door #2": Zeva Bellel on Trusting the Life You Can't Fully Explain (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Episode description Zeva Bellel has spent her adult life following the same pull more than once: toward a truer version of herself, even when it meant leaving what was stable and secure. First it was a one-way flight from Brooklyn to Paris at twenty-five. Then it was walking away from a decade in journalism to build her own blog from scratch. Then, after ten years at Yelp building a marketing team from nothing, she was made redundant in one of the company's most brutal rounds of layoffs - and in
"You Don't Deserve to Know the Real Me": MAFS Holly Ditchfield on What the Cameras Didn't Show (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Episode description Holly Louise Ditchfield found out she was pregnant at thirty-seven weeks. Not a missed period, not a hunch - thirty-seven weeks, with three left to go, after she'd poured water on the test hoping it would lie for her too. Eight years later she built a business, Lash Lounge, from her bedroom, fitting clients around school pick-ups. And in 2024, at twenty-nine, she went on Married at First Sight and became the woman a lot of the country remembers for remembering who she was as
"The Ultimate Ice Queen": Faye Roddy on What It Cost to Hold It All Together (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Episode description Faye Roddy is a strategic business coach who built one of the UK's biggest cleaning franchises from nothing and sold it in a single thirty-minute meeting. But the version of Faye people see today didn't start in a boardroom. It started on market stalls in Salford, counting pennies for her mum at ten years old. In this conversation, we go back to the decision that shaped everything, leaving school at fifteen, and the year that nearly broke her: becoming a mum at twenty-two, a
"A Confusing Ethnic Concoction": Gemma Lees on Art, Identity, and Not Looking the Part (opens the original)
Read excerpt
EPISODE DESCRIPTION Gemma Lees is a performance poet, journalist, facilitator and fine art installationist from Bury - and a proud Romani gypsy. In this episode, she talks about growing up in a creative, self-employed Romani family, multiple breakdowns and period of homelessness in her early twenties, being diagnosed as dyslexic and dyspraxic at 21 and autistic at 41, and living with fibromyalgia after years of being dismissed by doctors. We talk about what people get wrong about Romani and Trav
