I Heart Forever on Kindle, £3.99.

Lindsey Kelk (@lindseykelk) joins me on this episode of the podcast to talk about her I Heart... series, her podcast Full Coverage and her 'creative process'. We holed ourselves away in the Bobbi Brown Pro store in Soho to chat about how this Doncaster born-and-bred girl found herself living in LA, how she got her first book published and how that first book has turned into a 13, and counting, series. 

We chat about finding your best girlfriends, pushing outside your comfort zone, how her 'what might have been' motivated her to move to New York and why it shouldn't be weird to talk about your creative process. There's a lot of talk about awkward teenage years and always knowing there was something bigger out there in the world and finding yourself and your tribe. 

Lindsey and I met on twitter (@lindseykelk) where you can often find us wanging on about wrestling, beauty products and other important issues.

Dr Dennis Gross Spectralite is coming to the UK soon. The superhero style mask emits amber, red, deep red and infrared wavelengths that gently stimulate collagen production, which reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles in just a few minutes every day for several weeks. 

I've developed a mild, scrap that, absolutely ridiculous obsession with Missoma jewellery. I saw some viewers asking Sam Chapman where her necklaces were from on an instagram live and she mentioned the brand so I found myself on their site having a mini-conniption about their earrings. If you're a regular listener you'll know I had three new piercings a few months ago and have been looking for hoops and studs that don't break the bank. Reader, I think I've found them. I'm crushing quite hard on the turquoise drop hoops and am incredibly keen to build up a wardrobe of the shield necklaces, oh, and the fang necklace. See, it's a problem. Take a look if you like gorgeous jewellery...

  • My Favourite Interviews | Caroline Hirons

    50:55|
    Caroline Hirons has the uncanny and rare ability to make you feel as though you are capable of anything and can achieve whatever you set your mind to, which is why I speak to her often and appreciate her friendship hugely. When things were tough during lockdown, she was one of the first people I wanted to get on the podcast so she could share that energy with a global audience who might just need to plug into a little bit of what Caroline has got.If you're hearing it again, I hope it makes you feel amazing and if you're hearing it for the first time, I hope you love it!Subscribe to my Substack.

    Every time anyone asks me about my favourite guests, Chris Voss, is one of the first names to come out of my mouth. When else will you get to talk to a former FBI negotiator about the skills required to make every conversation you have meaningful?I use the advice I learned from Chris daily, which is why I think it's worth putting back at the top of the podcast feed for those who might enjoy hearing it again and those who haven't heard it before.Subscribe to my Substack.
  • My Favourite Interviews | Lisa Potter Dixon

    27:25|
    My friend, the makeup artist, author and brand founder Lisa Potter-Dixon, was one of the first people I asked to join me when I started the Feel-Good Habits podcast series. She is such good, warm and kind energy in real life and, when this series started in lockdown, it felt only fair to share that with a global audience. Unsurprisingly, she didn't disappoint.If you heard it before, I hope it makes you laugh again. If you're hearing it for the first time, I hope it makes your day.Subscribe to my Substack.
  • My Favourite Interviews | Evy Poumpouras

    01:18:36|
    If you've been here a while then you may have heard this conversation with former Secret Service Agent, Evy Poumpouras before, but I do encourage you to listen again because this is a stand-out for me when it comes to the interviews I've done over the last eight years on this podcast. If you're new here, then you're in for a treat!Evy is full of so many incredible and empowering insights and a huge amount of wisdom and her life experience, as a police office and secret service agent, are the kinds of things you just don't normally have access to. The fact she shared so generously and gave so much in this conversation is why I think it's well worth a re-post.Subscribe to my Substack.
