Description

Hi, my name is Francesca Victory and I am the creator of the Chess and her guest's podcast. #Chessandherguests will be a series of open and honest discussions based on topics and issues that I think are important, especially those that affect young people in today's society. I want this podcast to be really representative so each show will feature a different guest who either holds a completely different opinion to me or is able to offer different experiences to me. The episodes will cover a range of topics such as whether women should stay natural or opt to cosmetic surgery/enhancement, grief in the young, body positivity, mental health and many, many more. I want my voice to be heard and I hope this podcast will encourage others to use theirs as well. So go ahead and have a listen, I'm sure you will enjoy it....

This episode is with the lovely Charleigh Victory! We discuss her Multiple Sclerosis,she shares her diagnosis, her treatment, how her life is now and her dreams for the future. I wanted to chat to Charleigh to raise awareness as you always hear about old people having chronic illnesses not people 25 years of age. This girl is just amazing she doesn’t let her illness hold her back. She is an amazing role model for young women. Her bright bubbly personality is just infectious! I would really love for as many of you as possible to listen so you too can be a champion and turn your tragedy’s into triumph’s. 
In this episode I spoke to Maisie about her cruise ship experience. We spoke about her experience of travelling to China, what happened once she began performing, her return and how what she went through affected her. I am so glaf she was brave enough to speak up because I feel like so many people in the performing arts industry have bad experiences but, will not speak out due to fear! Fear that they will affect their chances of getting another contract! Maisie is so friendly, bubbly and a brilliangt singer! Have a listen to her story, it may help you and/or you may learn something.WARNING some of the things we discuss are very truamatic so please do not listen if this is something that will trigge you.

In this episode I talk to the lovely Jennifer Opal about her job in technology. We talk about how she got in to technology, the importance of coding and how the industry needs to become more diverse, in order to cater for the whole population. Jennifer is so passionate about what she does and is determined to use her voice to encourage others to get involved in the industry. She is an inspiration to women everywhere!
This episode is very different to all of my others, it is almost like you are listening in on a  personal life coaching session, in some parts.  Ashlie talks a lot about fear preventing us from achieving our dreams and that its not external gratifications that are going to make us happy, it is what is on the inside. I personally didnt believe that life coaching could work until I spoke to Ashlie. I feel like by listening to this episode you will begin to realise a lot and it will begin to change your outlook on your life for the better. Hope you enjoy. Love Chess xxx
