On this week’s episode, we’re joined by West End icon and Olivier Award-winner Ruthie Henshall, who opens up about the invisible weight of grief, the unpredictability of ageing, and why being “the nice judge” isn’t always easy.

From losing her sister to suicide, to rediscovering her voice after a decade-long struggle, Ruthie speaks with striking honesty about loneliness, single parenting, and feeling invisible at 58. But this isn’t a sob story — it’s a deeply human one. There’s also lipstick drama, ghosting on dating apps, and a warning about Berlin art galleries (don’t say we didn’t tell you).

Whether you’re rethinking your next chapter, missing a partner you never had, or just wondering what the hell to do with an orange lipstick, this one’s for you.
