After receiving Ciara Attwell's latest book "My Fussy Eater", I have become absolutely obsessed with her recipes and really enjoyed recording this inspirational podcast with her. I use her book at least twice a week as a reference and the children absolutely love her food. Ciara is an award-winning food blogger and is also author of "We're Hungry". She also has an amazing app, Fantastic Plates for Fussy Easters and an absolutely brilliant Facebook community helping worried parents feed their fussy eaters.

We talk through her top tips for feeding fussy eaters, her fail-safe go-to meals and how to save time and money when it comes to food shopping and cooking.

We talk through the stats as well as some shocking research findings, and turn our focus to the work Tommy's is doing to campaign the government to change the miscarriage story.

I have to admit I was a bit nervous speaking to award-winning aesthetic nurse Anna today. I am 39 and I have got lots of little lines cropping up on my forehead but I am resisting temptation.

The podcast was filmed on Zoom and the first thing I noticed was how incredible and glowing Anna's skin was. I, however, had been caught out on a rare, sunny April morning and was bright red and more wrinkled than normal. We had a great time talking about everything from the perfect skin regime to sensitive skin, exfoliation and SPF. We went on to talk about retinol, Profilo, Botox and fillers and ended with her desert island products. I hope you enjoy our chat as much as I did.
