All The Small Things

Chris Smalling is a professional footballer who plays for England and Manchester United. In 2018, he transitioned to a plant based diet for which he credits enhanced performance and recovery. I went to the Man U training ground to meet Chris and hear about his life with food and football.

Lucy Siegle is an author, journalist and presenter. She is a reporter for BBC’s The One Show and has written for publications including The Guardian, The Observer and Huffington Post.

In 2010, she wrote ‘To Die For’, which is credited as being the go-to text on the fashion industry’s ecological and human footprint. After the release of the book, the worst industrial tragedy in the history of fashion took place in Bangladesh, where an eight-storey commercial building named Rana Plaza collapsed. Lucy’s book and this tragedy formed the basis of the 2015 documentary The True Cost. If you haven’t seen it, find it on Netflix because it will completely shift your perception of the fashion industry.

Last year, Lucy published ‘Turning The Tide On Plastic’: a practical, inspiring book, that serves as a much-needed call to arms to end the plastic pandemic and gives useful tools on how to make changes in our everyday lives and advice on how to demand long-lasting action.

I am delighted to be bringing you this very special episode in celebration of International Women’s Day, recorded LIVE on Saturday 9th March in Shoreditch at The Body Shop’s 'Celebrate She' event.

I’m joined by three brilliant panelists: Nicole Crentsil, Natalie Glaze and Megan Jayne Crabbe to discuss female empowerment, being your own boss, failing, trusting your gut and so much more. I hope you love it! Please share the episode with your friends and on your Instagram stories - it makes a huge difference.

"Female empowerment or feminism in general is about allowing women - and that’s anyone who identifies as a woman - to live and thrive on her own terms. Set her own rules, not be ashamed, not be apologetic about any part of herself and her identity." Megan Jayne Crabbe.

Jack Harries is a filmmaker, environmentalist and WWF ambassador. He rose to fame after he launched a highly successful YouTube channel which he ran with his identical twin brother Finn, to document his Gap Year. We discuss his journey to veganism, the hypocrisy of sustainability, mental health, therapy and of course, food. I’m only sad to say that this interview was recorded just a short while before Jack was arrested for protesting with Extinction Rebellion at the International Petroleum Conference, where gas and oil tycoons gathered in their glad rags, trying to pretend that we don’t have a global catastrophe on our hands. Jack, you're a hero.

“It’s difficult to talk about environmentalism without being a hypocrite. It’s almost impossible to leave the house without having some kind of negative impact on the environment - unfortunately that’s just the way it is. But I don’t think it should stop you being able to have these conversations if you’re not the most perfect environmentalist because then no one would have these conversations and nothing would change. You have to have these personal inner conflicts because it forces you to think about your own lifestyle.”
