Happy Wednesday podcasters!This week we have the delight that is Tori Boughey. Ive known Tori for a few years now and Tori is one of those people that make you feel instantly relaxed and safe. Probably why she is so fabulous at what she does and we have her on the podcast speaking all things Holistic health and Life Coaching.Tori is a Holistic Health and Life Coach and developed her own method for happiness called the TBalance method. In this podcast we talk myths such as health being just about what you put into your body, and we touch on the positive effects of Holistic Health on anxiety, and how the understanding of crystals and chakras can help us become more in tune with ourselves.After speaking to Tori I immediately implemented some of her methods into my life and have reaped the benefits, so I hope you enjoy listening to this and are able to take away as much as I did.G x

Welcome to ep 2, season 2 of What They Don't Tell You About!This week we have the wonder-woman that is Anna Shillinglaw. Anna is the founder and managing director of Milk Management who are a full service agency managing Women, Men, New Faces, Curve, Digital Influencers and Artists. We talk to her on everything they don't tell you about starting a business.After a career spanning over 17 years Anna found herself feeling that there needed to be a change within the fashion industry and that diversity and inclusion needed to be introduced. Being one of the first curve models Anna knew that models were misrepresented and therefore founded MiLK in 2011 to try and change this within the fashion industry.In this podcast we discuss where it all started for Anna and where MiLK was born. We also debunk ideas like whether a background in a field is necessary to start and does starting a business mean needing a lot of investment and funds.Being signed with MilK personally for over 3 years now, Anna is like family and speaks honestly of her highs and lows with me. I couldn't of asked for a better boss lady to do this podcast with so I hope you feel as inspired as I did after listening to this!G x

Welcome to Season 2 of What They Don't Tell You About! Wooohooo!After what felt like a forever hiatus due to Covid-19 hitting, we are back in business. Many of the episodes recorded in Season 2 will likely of been recorded over wifi so please go easy on us if there are any sound quality issues.This week we have the lovely Benjamin Alldis from Peloton joining us. I was introduced to Ben a few years ago when he amazed me with his passion and commitment for fitness by waking up at the crack of dawn teaching 2-3 cycle classes every morning then going to a full time job in finance. Ben is now one of the UK Peloton Cycle instructors and has amalgamated a large fan base who ride with him daily and adoringly.In this podcast we chat all things fitness, sleep, marathon training (where Ben and my plans differed extremely), the importance of balance and more! I could of chatted with Ben for hours so I hope you enjoy this podcast just as much as we enjoyed chatting to Ben!G x

This week is my SEASON 1 FINALE EP! First off I just want to say a massive thank you to everyone who has listened to What They Don’t Tell You About this season. Its been such a treat to interview some amazing people and also to find my feet in the podcasting world! So thank you! Today we have the fabulous Arielle Free, trained dancer Arielle Free is now Radio 1s early breakfast host. With boundless Scottish energy it was an absolute pleasure to have her on the podcast discussing all things radio and presenting. We discuss how she made it in the industry and she shared with us some funny anecdotes of how she got to where she is. From funny callers to how much a sleep a Radio Dj actually gets Arielle really bears all and tells us what we really didn’t know about radio! This episode was recorded at the lovely podcast space at Soho Works with a live audience, and again thank you for coming with me on this series 1 ride! I hope next series is bigger and better! :) G x

This weeks podcast is very special because I am fortunate enough to had the amazing Sam Salter joining me. Sam is a contemporary British ballet dancer (and a brilliant one at that!), currently touring with Matthew Bournes Swan Lake, and has previously been in shows such as Mary Poppins and Wicked. Sam sits down with me and kindly opens up and shares his story with addiction. From someone who has never experienced addiction directly I have nothing but admiration for Sam and his confidence to come on my podcast and speak so honestly and freely to me, and help me understand addiction. We discuss the misconception of what addiction actually is and what the image or media may portray a stereotypical ‘addict’. Sam gives us insight into the many amazing programmes available not only to addicts but to a whole heap of others struggles and problems that people may face. Teaching me that you never are really alone and there is always someone available to talk to and build a community with.   This podcast was one of my favourites to record, not only because it enabled me (and hopefully anyone listening) an insight into addiction that Sam kindly allows us in, but also the beautiful soul Sam is inside and out. I really hope you enjoy this podcast x
