In this episode Christine talks to a young Scottish lady about her experiences of missing her friends, her sports, her social events, her exams, her life. Lots of love ❤

In this episode Christine speaks to a chap about his struggles with family during the loss of one business and the effort to keep another going, while his family's mental health suffers due to covid restrictions. Another fascinating, if painful, chat. Lots of love ❤

In this episode Christine talks to a lady in an all-too-familiar situation: she and her husband are working from home full time and trying to home educate and raise three children at the same time. It gets a bit philosophical but not very heavy and it is good to listen to this lady's clear voice. Lots of love ❤

In this episode Sylvia speaks to a mum and businesswoman about how lockdown has taken hope from her life. We hope you will enjoy it and it will resonate with you. Lots of love ❤

This episode with Christine was a heartbreaking account of how covid restrictions have affected the life of a very young foster child in Scotland. What a wonderful guest Gillian is - and great company! But the story she tells is hard to face. Please listen and share. Sorry for the bubbly sound and the lag that develops in places. Lots of love ❤

In this episode, Sylvia talks to Kristen who has lost her business (temporarily we hope) to covid restrictions. She is such a brave lady! Sylvia apologises to the listener and Kristen - old habits die hard for a solicitor and she has a natural and conscientious instinct to take notes. You can hear this in the recording. But Kristen's voice rises above that distraction we know. (We're amateurs and still learning.) Lots of love ❤

In this episode Gordon bravely shared with me his experiences since March 2020. It was moving and eye-opening seeing it all from the perspective of a chronic depression sufferer and I found his bravery and articulation very powerful. Where are we heading as a society and how do we make sure the vulnerable don't get left even further behind? Lots of love ❤

In this episode, recorded on 10th January, I speak to a lady despondent at the conditions imposed on her family in relation to their contact with her elderly mother-in-law. She expressed herself so articulately about her pain and her sorrow. Powerful words with hope too. Lots of love ❤

In this episode a concerned mother talks of the challenges of raising her teenage child in these times, and how her daughter has been affected. It's a sad conversation but one that I think will resonate with many. Lots of love ❤

In this episode I meet a new friend of mine for the first time voice to voice and he tells me his corona story about his fight to get children in Scotland back to school and the journey he has been on since March. We talked for so long this episode had to be heavily edited but we hope you enjoy listening in. Lots of love here ❤
