Double Olympic champion, Dame Kelly Holmes, joins Gabby to talk about why she is truly living her best life at the midpoint. Kelly explains how she became consumed by fear of being outed and lived like a recluse after her huge success in Athens, but the death of her mum coupled with the pandemic in 2020, brought her to her lowest point and she reluctantly sought psychological help which changed the trajectory of her life. Now she is living more authentically than ever, and learning how she used her sporting success as a mask to hide behind. They also talk about taking the menopause month by month, getting competitive at Park Run, and Kelly’s views on the importance of doing things to keep yourself feeling youthful.

Dr Linda Papadopoulos on Body Image and Social Media
Psychologist Dr Linda Papadopoulos has been looking into the cognitive impact of self-perception for many years, and so in this episode, we put your questions on body image directly to her, and discuss some of the challenges that are unique to midlife when it comes to accepting how we look. Gabby and Linda talk about how confidence can impact so many things, and why it’s important we manage the way we speak to ourselves - the only thing we can truly control! They also discuss the impact that social media can have on how we feel about ourselves, and ways to build digital resilience and protect ourselves - and our loved ones - online. Linda shares a little about what she has discovered from studying psychodermatology over the last two decades, and explains how our thoughts have a tangible impact on our bodies, especially when it comes to our skin.

Suzi Ruffell
Warning: This episode contains some strong language.Comedian Suzi Ruffell joins Gabby to talk about growing up and realising she was gay without any positive point of reference, and why now - on the cusp of midlife - she’s more determined than ever to celebrate the joy of being gay and having a family of her own. They also talk about the Kate Winslet effect; why it’s only when you really try for something and risk failure that you create something you’re really proud of; and why Suzi’s dad is more proud of the miles she travels than the TV shows she appears on! Spoiler alert: Suzi’s dad might be the real star of this episode. Tickets are available for Suzi’s forthcoming 2025 tour called The Juggle, and you can listen to her podcasts - Big Kick Energy, Like Minded Friends, and Out with Suzi Ruffell - on all podcast platforms.

Dr Rangan Chatterjee on Making Change That Lasts

Gabby and Rangan discuss the power of daily rituals, no matter how short on time you are; why small things done consistently can have a big impact; why living in line with your values is so important to your overall health; and perhaps surprisingly, why Rangan feels we are over reliant on experts!For more on this you can also check out Dr Chatterjee’s podcast Feel Better Live More, and order Make Change That Lasts from January 2, 2025.
