Cressida Bonas Instagram – 🦋 @emmabarnett 🦋 – I am thrilled that this wonderful woman is my 1st guest on S3 of Fear Itself… Woop! I listen to Woman’s Hour on Radio 4 most mornings and I’ve wanted to ask her on the show since I started this podcast. As well as hosting Woman’s Hour, Emma is an award winning journalist and presenter of BBC’s news night – she is also known as the most fearless woman on air. I recently found myself captivated by her empowering new book Period. It’s About Bloody Time. It’s brilliantly funny, informative and incredibly moving… as Jennifer Saunders said “this is the book we have all been waiting for.” In this episode we find out how Emma toughed it through period pains so severe it caused her to black out and she discusses the fear surrounding her experience with IVF. She also tells me about the time when she attacked a man who was trying to mug her friend – a story she had never told publicly. Other topics – cool gangs, snogging/not snogging, doubt, interviewing nerves and finding that thing you love. But first we reflect on when Emma came to watch my play and the time we first met… Listen on Spotify or Apple podcasts! Big thanks to @onefineplay for all the support and to the fabulous @codexbeauty for sponsoring this ep. #fearitself | Posted on 01/Sep/2021 13:29:02
