On the back of our popular episode about your real life ghost stories, Helena talks to best selling author Santa Montefiore about a lifetime of paranormal experiences and how they are, finally, being introduced into her novels.

We also hear about how she finally had a visitation from her famous 'It Girl' sister, Tara Palmer-Tompkinson who sadly passed away seven years ago.

As part of this chat, we discuss the purpose of humans on the planet, past life regressions, out of body experiences and how to reawaken and psychic abilities that you may have felt you had - because we can all do it with practice!

This week, we’ll talk to Karen Haller about colour psychology. She is a global authority in behavioural design, applied colour and design psychology. She is also author of the bestselling book, ‘The Little Book of Colour’. We discuss how wearing certain colours affect not just how WE feel, but how those around us feel about us and how it all comes down to nature.

The word of the week is Nacreous: Having a lustrous, pearly appearance, like the inside of a shell. For example, ‘she wore a beautiful necklace made of nacreous beads, each one catching the light and reflecting a rainbow of colours.’

Along the way, we discuss our poor colour decisions at important moments and why we need to buy full new wardrobes.
