“We need to make a huge emphasis on the fact that being real, being present with the people that actually are making a difference in your life; your friends, your family, that you can see face to face. These are the people that we need to be making time for and that we need to really cherish” Rebecca Hooker Produced by Felix Northover, this episode of Exeter Real is made possible by our award winning friends here at the Deer Park.

Recorded in the wake of the heartbreakingly tragic news of Caroline Flack’s death, this episode is dedicated to Caroline and to every other single person who has ever felt bullied, alone or that life has somehow fallen out of your control. This is for you. My guest on the podcast today, is a woman I have the greatest respect for. Listed as one of Exeter’s 100 Most Influential Women in 2018, Rebecca Hooker epitomises all that I value and respect in the world: kindness, passion, positive influence, beauty and leadership. Her lifestyle brand; The Committed Clothing Company is backed by some of Exeter’s most successful international sports professionals and focuses on changing the way children value & treat themselves and others. Today’s episode explores her background, life, love and work. I’m not going to lie; this was, at times, a tough. particularly emotive conversation. But life isn’t always a breeze and even with the most positive mindsets, there are some subjects that we can’t keep burying under the carpet and ignoring. As always, we wrap things up with a positive word but, if anything you hear today touches a nerve or you feel the need to reach out, please do. ----------- Thanks for listening to my conversation with Rebecca.
