Hi beautiful people!! We made it! The final episode of the series and of the year is the Christmas Special with your favourite funny gal Thirsty Campbell from episode 3.

We wanted to end the season with a bit of a laugh, and just 2 pals chatting Christmas stories, how our 2023 has been and our career and personal goals for the new year.

Thank you to everyone who has listened to each episode, I have had so much fun putting these episodes together and hearing all the amazing feedback.

Here is to 2024!

At the end of this episode, I said that I would attach a link to a Scottish homeless charity that I will be donating to this Christmas, I chose Social Bite, an Edinburgh-based charity that is fighting to end homelessness. You can donate £28 to buy a homeless person in Scotland a Christmas dinner a pack of essential items and a bed for the night plus many other amazing ways to help. Please take a moment to click the link and donate if you can. Thank you 🙏

Ambriene is a Glasgow-based make-up artist who has spent the last 7 years building her name within the industry. This episode is fantastic for anyone looking to get into this industry or would like some general make-up advice from a pro! I LOVED talking make-up with Ambriene and learning more about her profession and her journey to get there.

This week's episode of the DON'T PANIC! Podcast is with one of my mum's best pals and close family friend Peter Scott. I grew up listening to stories Peter would tell me of travelling around the world in his 20's, and all his crazy antics including getting lost in the Himalayas to working in a Scottish bar in Spain. Peter's career as an events specialist started with doing lighting for theatre productions and he has spent the last 25-30 years building stages and exhibitions for the Commonwealth Games, COP26, Science Festivals and more. This episode is full of great advice for anyone looking to get into the events space plus some ridiculous stories that will make you laugh!

Enjoy and remember DON'T PANIC!

This week I am talking to one of my absolute besties Ryan Kay. Ryan is a content creator for a PR and Communication Agency in Edinburgh but it hasn't been an easy ride to get to this point. After getting a Bachelors and a Masters Ryan had to spend time working on himself before he was able to get the job of his dreams.

I hope you enjoy the two of us sitting back and talking about all the shitty jobs we have had, whales and his passion for photography.

This weeks episode of DON'T PANIC! is a little bit different because I am chatting with my Dad!

My Dad has grown up as a Jack of all trades under the umbrella of media and TV. From starting off as a child actor at 4 years old to writing scripts, owning a video production company with my Mum, teaching and just because he is retired now doesn't mean he has stopped! This is a long episode but a good one, it was amazing to hear about how things once where and how far we have come. Thank you Dad for coming on, it was my absolute pleasure.
