- Tracey Emin
After listening to the episode I just burst into tears and had a cry. For Tracey, for all women, for myself. A very beautiful and open conversation, such raw honesty is so rare and so special.

United Kingdoma month ago - Arnold Chiari syndrome
It's been fascinating listening to this episode - my nephew had surgery for Arnold Chiari Syndrome a few years ago when living in Thailand. I've never heard of anyone else diagnosed with this and was interested to hear about the alternative treatments available
Apple Podcasts5MummaGGUnited Kingdom2 months ago - The ‘antidote’
I love Emma’s latest venture - it’s like an antidote to the trend towards the superficial (and childlike, ‘tribal’ politics). No surprise it takes a woman to make something so real (as men, episodes like the perimenopause one should be almost ‘compulsory’ material). Emma you are a fabulous ‘teacher’ - and a joy !
Apple Podcasts5TimetohandoverUnited Kingdom2 months ago - Really enjoy this
I am really enjoying this. The perimenopause episode made me feel so much better about myself. Thank you 🙏
Apple Podcasts5jeckles88United Kingdom3 months ago - Time to reflect
Every week so far this podcast seems to stop me in my tracks and takes me through the contributors journey. Emma asks the right questions without pushing but also seems to know how to allow enough space for the story to evolve.
