Unspoken by Dr Clodagh Campbell

Today Clodagh is joined by Sarah Jayne Dunn who very bravely shares his Unspoken with us. Sarah Jayne’s story centres around her being cast on one of the UKs biggest soaps as a teenager and her experience of growing up in the spotlight as the ‘good girl’, until, at the age of 40 her decision to start an Only Fans account led to her being sacked and being on the receiving end of a media frenzy of judgement, trolling and shame. Sarah Jayne speaks to me about the turmoil of her experience but also about being unapologetically herself, standing in her power and not allowing people to censor her or keep her playing small.Today’s podcast is very proudly sponsored by award-winning Irish skincare brand, Ella & Jo Cosmetics.
