Philippa provides great advice in relation to these questions and shares some amazing insight into the kinds of things that can crop up in a divorce from emotional needs to hidden finances and pre-nups. And it’s not only marriage break up we focus on Philippa talks about what happens when a cohabiting couple split too.

29 NOV 2023 · My guest on this episode of the Egg Talks To…podcast is Bonnie Garmus, whose debut novel, Lessons in Chemistry was published in April 2022 and has since become an international best seller. It’s been praised not only by readers and literary critics around the world but also by professors in chemistry! I had a really interesting conversation with Bonnie online from her home in London. She is such a busy person, she works with 40 publishers around the world and does all the promotion, touring etc that goes with that. She tells me about how she was spurred into action to write the book when something happened to her in her professional life that I think a lot of us can identify with. This book has quite literally had a life-changing impact for some people who have read it and I really love the great wisdom and insight she shares when it comes to dealing with rejection and setbacks. I had posted that I was going to interview Bonnie and asked the Egg community for questions in advance so it was great to receive a plethora of different questions and topics to cover with her. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!

5 APR 2023 · Gail needs no introduction, many of you will have seen her before, heard parts of her story.

Witty and honest, Gail talks about the death of her parents, the highs and lows of being a media personality, her love of giving back, and gives us an insight into her music taste…oh so different to mine. One of my most favourite guests, get ready to laugh with, and love, Gail Porter.

17 JAN 2023 · Welcome back to egg talks to! After a bit of a break I am delighted to be back, and with a conversation that means a huge amount to me. After losing my parents I've been on a mission to talk about death, about grief, to support others going through the same. I believe that we are further united by our shared losses, and that by discussing the journey, we help ourselves, and others too. In this episode I chat to widows Doug and Alison about their grief journey, speaking to children about death, learning to live after loss, and a book. An emotional conversation, I am so grateful to Doug and Ali for trusting me with their stories. We all hope that by opening up, we can help others, that there will be a ripple effect.
