Welcome back to another episode of the WILD & WILD Podcast with your host, April Wild.

In this week’s episode, April is joined by the incredible Vicky Owens, Forbes business writer, virality strategist and Gen Z CEO of Socially Speaking Media. Vicky opens up about the realities of being a young leader, the challenges she has faced and how she confidently manages and motivates her team.

She shares the story of how she built both her business and her personal brand, including the moment she boldly reached out to Netflix because of her resemblance to Emily in Paris. This strategic move led to her promoting the series on TikTok and soon after being approached by major global brands who wanted her expertise in going viral.

Drawing on her extensive research and experience, Vicky reveals the formula behind virality, audience loyalty and social media growth. She breaks down her top insights into the digital landscape and explains how anyone can create content that resonates, spreads and converts.

The conversation also dives into the courage required to be disliked and the danger of trying to be “too nice” in business. Vicky shares a personal story about being publicly trolled by a fellow business owner she knew and how rising above negativity is often part of becoming successful.

From overcoming bullying in school to speaking confidently on stages, Vicky’s journey is both inspiring and empowering. She also offers practical tips for public speaking and building a powerful personal presence.

This episode is perfect for aspiring entrepreneurs, content creators and anyone looking to grow their confidence, influence and online impact.

Welcome back to another episode of the WILD & WILD Podcast with your host, April Wild.

In this episode, April is joined by Sarah Jayne Dunn, best known for her iconic role as Mandy in Hollyoaks, a character she played from the age of fourteen. Sarah opens up about her very public departure from the show after sharing empowering online content that producers labelled inappropriate. Rather than shrinking herself, she chose to reclaim her voice, her confidence and her creative freedom.

Sarah talks candidly about stepping into her power, embracing self-expression and discovering a deep passion for pole dancing, an activity she finds liberating, strength-building and transformative. She encourages women to challenge outdated stigmas and taboos, and to pursue the practices that bring joy, confidence and fulfilment.

Together, April and Sarah discuss her early years in acting, how the industry has evolved and the pressures she faced growing up with her images edited to appear thinner or flawless. Sarah reflects on the competitive nature of the entertainment world and how refreshing it has been to find a community of supportive, uplifting and non-judgemental women through pole fitness.

She also shares what life looks like behind the scenes, including how she balanced school life, acting work and returning to the spotlight after maternity leave.

This episode is a powerful reminder of the importance of self-worth, authentic expression and finding spaces where women can thrive without judgement.
