Cartia Mallan and I teamed up to have a matcha latte, which has become a staple in my morning routine now! We discussed the benefits of what we put into our bodies and how that might impact our mental health, particularly with gut health and foods. We also chatted about the necessity of routine and surround yourself with the best people possible.

I sat down with model and entrepreneur Lottie Moss to talk about her experiences with her mental health. As Lottie made it into the public eye from a young age finding fame, she began to lose control and was plied with drugs and alcohol within the fashion industry. She soon began to realise that she did not love the industry, and left it. Lottie now uses OnlyFans as a platform to take ownership and control of the content she creates, and is thriving, seemingly happier than ever.

Season 9 Episode 3: Busted

With all 3 members of the band, Matt Willis, James Bourne and Charlie Simpson, we enjoy some magic coffee and cake, which was the therapeutic activity of choice.

We discussed the band in detail, and what that enormous success was like on them mentally in the early 2000s. The boys are releasing exciting new music and touring later in 2023, which you will not want to miss out on!

This episode is sponsored by M&S Cafe. Magic Coffee is the drink that took the coffee capital of the world, Melbourne by storm, and now its available on the UK High Street for the first time. Magic Coffee® is available exclusively in its 330 Cafés across the UK.

Magic Coffee® is made with a double ristretto, topped with the perfect amount of velvety steamed milk. It’s a short coffee (6oz) with a bold, intense flavour, but because it’s made with a double ristretto rather than a double espresso, it doesn’t have as much bitterness as other shorter coffees like a Flat White or Cortado. It’s called a Magic as it is quite literally the magic ratio of coffee to milk!

Go try one now at your nearest M&S Cafe.
