This week we’re joined by actress Kimberly Hart-Simpson, who’s Dad died in 2007 when she was just 20. Kimberly is commonly known for playing Nicky Wheatly in Coronation Street - a job that her dad always dreamed of her getting after being a huge fan of the show all his life. 

Some of the topics we discuss in the episode are:

• What life was like growing up for Kimberly and her career path 
• The struggles of trying to be a ‘care-free’ adult at university while coping with your parent’s terminal diagnosis 
• Her dad’s death and how it impacted her life at drama school
• Struggling to remember life before our parent/s died 
• How her experiences of grief segue into her acting career
• Feeling like you shouldn’t be talking about it anymore
• Reconnecting with her dad’s best friend years later 
• Her advice to young people

As always - we hope you enjoy this week’s episode! But if you do have any further questions on the topic just drop us an email or message us using the details below.
