Welcome back to my podcast. A lot has happened since my last broadcast and I wanted to share some of my journey with you as I talk about celebrating through the grief of losing someone dear to you, both as the honourees (i.e.the couple) a guest or a supplier. Because some days we are all close to tears, but somehow we need to navigate throught it

when a group of friends come together over cheese and wine in front of an open log fire and conversations start to flow....
We explore friendship in our 50's and 60's, how they, we have evolved and what we would tell our 25 year old selves.
It's amazing how a group of diverse women can come together with commonality, shared self doubts and on some occasions self loathing, but allow themselves to be lifted by their friends.
Recorded ahead of IWD 2025, bonds of friendship seem even more important these days.
thanks to Jo, Angie, Sher & Hels for indulging me with raw honesty and vulnerability.
I adore you all x
