Journalist, broadcaster, and now author, Louise Minchin, overcomes wild weather, technical issues, and a hotel turn-down, to chat to Gabby this week on The Mid•Point! Louise shares her love of swimming, and how finding a passion for triathlon later in life unwittingly helped her to navigate the menopause; she describes it as “self medication”. Louise also talks about big midlife decisions and what it was like when she left BBC Breakfast to pursue her writing career, as well as her obsession with reality TV, and how snacks and naps are two of her favourite things!

Louise’s new novel Isolation Island is out now.
