Open with Emma Campbell

On this week’s episode of Open, Emma is joined by Lauren Murrell, co-founder of multi award winning and B Corp Certified skincare brand, By Sarah London.

Lauren’s story and the reason By Sarah London came to be, is a powerful reminder of how the challenges we face can lead to life unfolding in a way we would never have imagined. 

Following a diagnosis of an aggressive form of Leukaemia aged just 23, months and months of isolation in hospital, a stem cell transplant and full body radiation, Lauren’s skin was sensitive and stressed. 

From home, her sister Sarah blended organic plant oils to help soothe Lauren’s skin. Today, that same blend is By Sarah London’s iconic Hero oil - their bestselling and much loved facial oil. 

Lauren is a believer in the power of having a clear vision of the future you want to create and that belief is just one of the topics covered in today’s episode.

On this week’s episode of Open, Emma is joined by ex British detective Nina Hobson who, fifteen years ago, went undercover into the British police to expose the racism and sexism within the force. Her findings became a BAFTA nominated episode of Dispatches and the documentary resulted in changes to the laws around training within the police and to a much higher rate of female officers being accepted and in higher ranking positions. She went onto live and work in LA as a private investigator and bodyguard and is the host of her own true crime podcast - Codename:Siren.

On this week’s episode of Open, Emma is joined by author and poet Donna Ashworth. Donna describes herself as a ‘lover of words’ and her Sunday Times best selling poetry books have garnered her over a million facebook followers and a captive global audience who turn to her poems and words as a source of comfort and peace whilst navigating life, love and loss.

Donna started her social media accounts in 2018 in a bid to create a 'safe' social space for women to come together and connect, but her love of all things wordy quickly became the focus, and a past love for poetry was reignited.. Donna is delighted daily with her mission to shower the world with words and bring poetry back into focus.

On this week’s episode of Open, Emma is joined by writer, activist and former policy advisor, Emily Kenway.

Her new book, 'Who Cares: The Hidden Crisis of Caregiving and How We Solve It' takes us into the invisible world of family caregivers.

It’s a beautifully written and deeply moving book, with Emily’s personal story of caring for her mother told alongside in-depth research and interviews with caregivers from around the world. Emily shows us what care is like today and what needs to change.
This conversation is an important one, highlighting a topic that is often brushed aside, diminished and ignored - largely due to the denial of an issue that will inevitably affect us all at some point.

You can follow Emily on Instagram - @thisisemilykenway and find out more about her work via her website www.emilykenway.com

On this week’s episode of Open, Emma continues her conversation with actress, best selling author and Loose Women presenter, Denise Welch.  

More honest talk about mental health, the joy of a duvet day, being addicted to our mobile phones and grieving for the ‘lost years’ when our children were younger and life’s challenges meant not always being present in the way we wanted to be. As always, Denise talks so honestly about how life was and is and her willingness to share is a comfort and very real reminder that we are not alone.
