Actress Daniela Nardini, best known for This Life, joins Marcus Railton for a candid chat. She reflects on the fame brought by This Life, and the culture in Britain at that time, and why the role both opened doors and narrowed expectations.

She discusses creating art during lockdown, and a major career shift into training as a CBT therapist, meaning she stresses less about her acting career. She speaks openly about grief, family, breast cancer, mental health, for both men and women, and returning from London to Glasgow and Largs. The episode also touches on motherhood, relationships, creativity, and redefining success as fulfilment, and calmness and connection in the modern world.
