This week in the final episode of series 3, I’m talking to Chris Clifford an international Art Dealer and owner of Private & Public. 

When I met Chris and found out about his amazingly colourful life and career I just knew he’d make a great guest. From selling furniture at London markets to selling works by Banksy and Warhol, you don’t want to miss this one!

We talk about the first time he saw something magical, courtesy of his Grandmother, what it was like to get back into a gallery for the first time after lockdown and why art and life are so intertwined.

You can find out more about Chris on Facebook, Instagram and on the Private & Public Website.

This week I’m talking to Ryan Williams the Chairman of the Jersey Green Room Club, an amateur dramatics society that was founded in 1909. 

Outside of his job in HR, Ryan devotes a lot of time to supporting various local charities.

This week I’m talking to Lauren Treharne, Owner of House by Betty, a lifestyle and stationery store in Camarthen. 

Lauren started off with the world of fashion in her sights and after a few bumps in the road has created a business, and an online community to be proud of. 

I found out about Lauren when an Instagram story of her singing in her shop made my day and I’ve been hooked ever since. We talked about building her business, overcoming an abusive relationship, her struggles with OCD and what life is really like when you’re trying to do it all.

This week I’m talking to Journalist Gary Burgess, whose questions to the government and twitter round ups have fast become the go to source of info in Jersey’s response to the Coronavirus pandemic.  

In November 2020, Gary found out that the cancer he had been battling was terminal and he was given 6-12 months to live. It was an absolute privilege to be able to have this conversation with Gary, I could have spoken to him for hours!

During our conversation we talk about the joy of the sea, how gratitude has become a big part of his life and why his dressing gown is his favourite thing!

We’ve reached the final episode of Series two! Thank you so much for listening, sharing and reviewing the series. It really means a lot to know that you’re enjoying it.

This week, in a special bonus episode I’m talking to two of my best friends; Jaclyn Acuri and Kellie Hall, who came into my life by a stroke of fate and have kept me going through the trials and tribulations of 2020, even from their homes in the USA.

Every week we call each other to motivate, sometimes commiserate and always laugh together. Their friendship has been a real example for me of the power of connection. And I wanted to share one of our conversations with you.

In this episode we talk about why judgement and comparison come so easily, what keeps us centred when the world feels off kilter and there was a whole interlude about a beach full of clams…

You can find out more about Kellie and her personal training business at @kellienichole_fit and Jaclyn at @jacfromnj on Instagram
