TW: This episode contains discussion of suicide

I’ve know Ashley Roberts for a long time - she’s someone who lights up whatever room she walks into, but the thing that always strikes me about her, is that she’s lived a tough life and yet still has this sunny disposition. I was really excited to have her come onto the pod and she did not disappoint - laughs, tears and everything in between…

We cover:

The brutal reality of being in the pussycat dolls
How she honours her dad’s memory after losing him to suicide
Being the break in the cycle of family trauma
The power of breathwork to calm her anxiety
Deciding to be child-free
Our experience on Strictly Come Dancing (and whether we still watch our dances back with a glass of wine)

This conversation was brimming with energy and emotion - Ashley is proof of how opening yourself to your own vulnerabilities can lead to a richer life - rich in sadness, rich in joy and rich in laughter too.
