  • The host has a very old voice

    Sounds a bit like Katie price’s mum, please change the host, preferably not southern too. It’s hard to listen to currently but the guests are good

  • Just what I needed

    I can't tell you how comforting and informative and needed this podcast is -- with its conversations between women of great substance who also appreciate the sparkle beauty brings to our lives. So grateful to have it 💙

  • Starting to wear thin

    I really like Sali Hughes in The Guardian and her product reviews on Instagram. I remembered liking the first season of this, but the second season feels insular and dull, the Jojo Moyes episode being a particular low point. Listening to successful wealthy people who all seem to know each other endlessly commend themselves on their success, self care, workout routines, expensive products and facials is starting to drag. It feels cliquey and increasingly tone deaf.

  • So down to earth

    I love Sali anyway, I follow all your tips where I can.

    Really enjoy the podcast, my favourite so far is JoJo Moyes, so honest, very humble and I could relate so much.

    I think Sali is great at just listening and allowing the guest to open up if they want to, there are too many interviewers that constantly interrupt or assume the next subject.

    Please keep the podcast going.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

S3 Ep5: Paulina Porizkova
Q: What are your thoughts on Botox and beauty treatments as women age?
I initially disliked it as it dulled expressions but learned to accept women's choices regarding their beauty.
S3 Ep5: Paulina Porizkova
Q: What does your childhood abandonment do to your self-esteem?
It made me believe I wasn't worthy of love, which has affected my relationships.
S3 Ep2: Nikki Lilly
Q: What do you see and think when you look in the mirror now after everything you've been through?
I accept myself whole genuinely a lot more than I used to. I think growing up, there was just a lot of self-hatred, and I would almost dissociate and not feel like it was my face or my body.
