If you are afflicted by self doubt, and suspicious of the power of self belief, give me and Ahiyana Angel from Switch Pivot or Quit just 35 minutes of your time. You will learn some important lessons in self belief : things like sometimes giving yourself a break, trying to think in favour of yourself before thinking against yourself and the value of getting to know what is true for you. Now that is a beautiful thing!

Nadine Baggot and I discuss the upsides of getting older in an industry not famed for respecting its elders, but where the elders are becoming the majority. We consider whether the young are inherently ageist. Whether the ascent to the summit is worth the effort. And whether we actually do give a s*** !

Co-founder of the charity Beauty Banks, Jo Jones joins me to think about Beauty. She doesn't believe in beauty from the inside out, it makes her feel a bit sick, but she does know that ugly thoughts can eventually 'make you look ugly'. For a long time she was embarrassed to say she worked in beauty, and she finds very different things beautiful now than she did when she was 24. If you fear beautiful people, if you are worried about loosing your beauty to age, if you have wondered why people obsess about the subject.... this one is worth a listen!
