Win Happy Podcast

Making your way in the music business can't be easy and on this podcast the very lovely Liverpool born 23 year old, Sophie Morgan shares her story.

Her tour has just been cancelled midway during the COVID crisis, so I was delighted that she took the time to chat about her love of the Waterboys, her early influences, the challanges of being a young woman in this tough industry and collaborating with Simon Jones of The Verve.

She has a new EP, Marmalade, and she also performs a track called 'Bar to Bar' that comes with a special story.

Near heart failure due to the extreme pressure of work just three years ago forced one of Ireland's most influential fashion editors, Constance Harris, to make the changes in her life that she had really wanted but would never have made.

In this podcast we chat about her early life with her high profile, colourful media parents, Eoghan and Anne Harris, struggling with dyslexia, her career in film and fashion, her special interest in shamanism, spirituality and meditation and a new idyllic life, writing and living in West Cork.

We also chat about the parallels between her sickness and the COVID19 disease, which has forced virtually everyone to stop and take stock of our lives.

She says you need to start a journal, your "vomit pages" as she calls them, to help you find your path.

We can see clearly that great communications can save lives and in each member country we get an overview of where the crisis is currently, we examine the performance of government and media and how the general public have responded.

Trusted, responsible government, leading by example, powerful gestures, quick action, honest briefings, strong and accurate media reporting and the public response are all key factors that control how many people could lose their lives.

However, there are some positives..
