I was fortunate to cross paths with Tanya many moons ago when we both worked in the music industry and then fortuitously reconnected many years later through shared experiences of grief and loss and our mega curiosity in this thing called life.

Tanya Wilkinson is a life coach, death doula and host of Death on the Daily podcast, (follow HERE )

She specialises in helping people to find presence, growth and transformation through death and other endings and transitions in life. 

In a world that pushes conversations about death into the shadows, Tanya is bringing these conversations into the spotlight. Helping people to see death as a part of life. So that they can gently find presence and connection in loss, grief and life’s transitions. Plus transforming grief into a profound source of personal growth and purpose. 

Tanya’s shares here journey with death and grief so poignantly and beautifully. and is a true inspiration.

In her past corporate life, Tanya was a Global Head of Marketing for the sport Formula 1. She had a celebrated and award-winning 14-year career in entertainment and advertising, working with brands such as Columbia Records, Geffen Records, and Virgin Media. In 2021, she purposefully ended her corporate career to follow her heart and found her own life coaching business.

Holding conversations that highlight how inherently messy we are as humans, can hopefully alleviate some of that pressure we put on ourselves to have it all 'sorted', both in our physical and mental spaces.

We all had to learn 'order' and subsequently, must discern how and when to let go of it.

On this show, we put mess in perspective: it's the process of trying, failing, changing and evolving.

• Is some art just a complete mess ?
• Do you need to be tidy and organised to be 'successful'?
• What is the messiest food to eat and what music is deemed 'messy', but do we still love it?!!
• Is 'mess' a negative word?

These questions and more , will be addressed throughout the series.

You can also connect with me on the 'The Mess We're In' podcast page I'd love to hear from you.

Both life and the mind can be very messy, which doesn't mean you're doing anything 'wrong', in my opinion.

On this episode of The Mess We're In podcast, I talk to multi-disciplinary visual artist Holly Silius, who works to find beauty in imperfections.

Holly and I are very old friends, having met in London almost 2 decades ago and spent many hours both working and partying hard together , across many countries.

I really felt Holly would have a unique and interesting take on ''mess' and my instinct didn't fail me.

As an artist who works with what would often be deemed as messy materials on the one hand and in other incarnations of her work, is entrusted with designing sometimes deliberately messy designs on people's faces , Holly's perspective on mess, starts to move it away from having negative connotations for me.

Holly speaks honestly and with thought provoking opinions on insights. I loved chatting to her and love her and her work, she is an incredible creative.

On this inaugural episode of The Mess We're In podcast, I talk to stand up comedian, broadcaster and actor Kelly Ford.

Check her out here https://www.kellymaxineford.com

Kelly and I actually discovered one another and became friends through the shared grief of losing our mums early in our and their lives.

We had a wonderful frank live discussion in the online space a year or so ago, about our motherhood journeys, some challenges we've faced, the mess our minds can get into and how we work to make the most of life, so I felt she would be an incredible voice to launch this podcast with.

Kelly speaks beautifully, openly and hilariously, in her inimitable light hearted manner, about how she experiences and copes with mess in her life across the board: with her children , mentally and in contentious work scenarios!

Kelly will be on tour across the UK in 2025 , be sure to follow her at @iamkellyford
