Sadie Frost on finding purpose after her children left home


Listen Later

Sadie Frost is an English actress, producer and fashion designer, who ran fashion label Frost French and a film production company. She is also the mother of four adult children.  


Whilst Sadie’s roles may seem distant from our own experience, everything she discusses with me, in this open and honest conversation, is very relatable. You will see yourself in her challenges and learn how she has managed them. 


We discuss: 

  • The shock of our children becoming adults and how to manage this transition. 
  • The challenge of living alone and how to keep oneself balanced in order to connect effectively with friends and family. 
  • How to manage one’s childhood self that can sometimes override one’s adult self. Particularly given the trauma of her past. 
  • How she has learnt what really matters in life
  • How one's relationship with time changes - over time! 
  • How the joy of small things gives us peace.

  • Emily's recommended exercises you can do as a parent of an adolescent/young adult: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1O0XK3vegh2A45zV196NAUjEs2nfJDQZ2/view?usp=sharing
