Is anxiety ever really rational? @willpoulter knows how tricky it can be. In this week’s episode, he sits down with Fearne to share his experiences with OCD, intrusive thoughts, and learning to separate fact from feeling. They also explore why gratitude can be a powerful tool, the double standards between mental and physical health, and how therapy in his teens helped him navigate anxiety. It’s an open, honest, and deeply relatable conversation. Listen now wherever you get your podcasts, or watch on YouTube 💛

Good job I had a black jumpsuit too. When will I stop recreating @bensonboone videos? When I run out of jumpsuits.
This kid is 12 on Friday. Can’t quite believe it. Love watching him play the piano so much. It can sometimes still be a battle to get him off the PS5 but at the moment he is happily going back to this piece from his fave film Interstellar regularly. 🥹
Been racing, rushing, not sleeping well lately. Woke up at 430am today and couldnt get back to sleep. Tried to slow it down this morning. Haven’t done this balance in a long while so need to build up my strength again. Also have no idea how to elegantly come out of this one 🤷🏼♀️ Off to an escape room now with the kids and some pals. Can my tired brain cope with clues? We will soon find out. If there isn’t a podcast on Monday it’s because I’m still in there. Happy Saturday ❤️
Art makes my heart sing, my mind flat line, my body buzz. I want to paint much more in 2025 as I had a big patch of not prioritising it and seeing it as too much of a luxury. It’s often hard to find time but it’s so worth it when I do. Who shall I paint next❓️❓️❓️❓️
Shania, Ludovico, Etta, Jeff….who is your fave? I often forget how good music sounds on vinyl. There’s something about the whole process of it and appreciating the art work on the sleeve. #giddyup
Is ‘nice’ really a compliment? @louiseredknapp isn’t so sure. In this week’s episode, she chats with Fearne about stepping out of the ‘good girl’ box, learning to trust her gut, and embracing every side of herself. They also dive into how never knowing her dad shaped her confidence, how motherhood changed her identity, and whether gratitude can help with overwhelm. It’s a heartfelt, honest, and empowering conversation. Listen now wherever you get your podcasts, or watch on YouTube! 💛
