You are not as lost as you think.


The Daisy Chain is a weekly podcast for women who feel behind, lost, or like everyone else got the map except them.


Every Thursday at 3pm, Daisy Ogle sits down with a remarkable woman who has lived a little further down the road. Together, they unpack the moments that shaped her — the things she got wrong, the things she learned, and the things she wishes she'd known sooner.


Then come the daisies: four pieces of wisdom to pass on to the woman listening.

  1. Something she'd tell her younger self.
  2. Something someone once gave her.
  3. Something she's still figuring out.
  4. And something she found in a book, song, film or piece of culture when no person could give her the answer.


No gurus. No perfect lives. No pretending to have it all figured out.


Just honest, warm conversations — and the kind of perspective that can make you feel a little less alone in your own life.


One woman passes something on to the next.


Welcome to the chain. 🌼

    Nobody is coming to give you permission - Nancy Blair on creativity and starting again in your seventies | The Daisy Chain
    2026/09/03
    Nancy Blair was 70 when she started posting videos online, sharing creativity, dancing and what she's learned about starting again later in life.She wasn't building a platform. She was dancing in her living room every morning, the way she has for decades, and thought other people might like to see a woman her age still moving. Then she posted something about creativity, it went viral, and at 78 she now has an audience of strangers who write to her about the things they've been too frightened to start.She has been an artist for over forty years - sculptor, author, teacher. But that's not the interesting part.The interesting part is everything that came before. A childhood that gave her very little to build on. Dancing in clubs to survive, and the night on stage when something shifted so completely she walked out mid-shift and never went back. Hitchhiking across America. Graduate school where every teacher who shaped her was a man, and the slow realisation that the images of powerful women she needed simply didn't exist - so she started a company and made them herself.At 58 she wrote a memoir while her marriage ended, both her parents were dying, and menopause arrived at the worst possible moment. She calls it the triple storm.What Nancy understood somewhere along the way is that nobody was coming. Not a teacher, not a partner, not anyone. And she has thoughts about what you do with that.We talk about the gifts our parents give us that don't feel like gifts at the time, why perfectionism is the fastest way to never start anything, and what it takes to genuinely change your mind about what you're capable of. She shares something an art teacher told her fifty years ago that she has never stopped carrying. And she tells me whatshe is still figuring out - at 78, with more ambition than most people half her age.If you've been waiting for permission to begin, Nancy has something to say to you.Every Thursday at 3pm. 🌼In this episode we discuss:Starting something new in your seventiesWhy nobody is coming to rescue youCreativity and how to overcome creative blockPerfectionism and why it stops you startingGrowing up in a difficult home and finding your own wayWomen in art and creating what doesn't exist yetWriting a memoir during divorce, grief and menopauseBuilding confidence in your own creative voiceAgeing, ambition and staying curiousFinding teachers and mentors when you least expect themWhat found us - Links & MentionsDaisy:Jitters- BritneyEle MckenzieHarriet RichardsonNancy:Frida Kahlo and Tracey Emin at Tate ModernNancy Azara - the artist who taught her that her story belonged in her workFollow The Daisy Chain:Instagram: @thedaisychainpodTikTok: @thedaisychainpodYouTube: @TheDaisyChainPodcastFollow Nancy Blair:Nancy Blair InstagramFree Creativity Guides for TDC listeners: How to Stop Killing Your CreativityFree Creativity Guides for TDC listeners: The Witty Wise Creativity JournalKnow an amazing guest? thedaisychainpod@gmail.comEnjoyed this episode?

  • The chain was always there, we just had to find it. Daisy Ogle on finishing season one, finding wisdom in unexpected places, and why the metrics are wrong | The Daisy Chain

    The chain was always there, we just had to find it. Daisy Ogle on finishing season one, finding wisdom in unexpected places, and why the metrics are wrong | The Daisy Chain
    2026/06/11

    Most of the wisdom we consume comes from people who have arrived. People with titles, platforms, track records. People who have packaged up what they know and presented it as a formula. This finale has none of that. What it has instead is something rarer — a host sitting with everything she has built, trying to make sense of what it actually means.


    This is the season one finale of The Daisy Chain. No guest. Just Daisy.


    Over eight episodes, eight extraordinary women passed down something real. And in this solo episode, Daisy reflects on what a season of honest, unscripted conversations actually taught her about wisdom, about the metrics we use to measure a life worth listening to, and about why the chain exists in the first place.


    The Daisy Chain began with a belief: wisdom isn't inherited. It doesn't belong to the most credentialed people or the loudest platforms. It lives in unexpected places — in a conversation you nearly didn't have, a song that arrived at exactly the right moment, a person the internet would never think to google. This episode is Daisy's attempt to name what she has found there.


    In this episode Daisy reflects on losing her mum at 14 and what it taught her about finding guidance in unexpected places, why everything she consumed online made her feel behind, and what she did about it, the guest who moved her most this season and why the metrics are wrong, what it really means to witness someone rather than fix them, and why The Daisy Chain is not a podcast but a way of moving through the world.


    This one is for anyone who has ever felt behind and wondered if that was the whole story. It isn't.


    Every Thursday at 3pm. 🌼


    In this episode I discuss:


    • Why wisdom doesn't belong to the most credentialed people
    • Losing a parent young and finding guidance where you least expect it
    • Why consuming more self-help content might be making you feel worse
    • The people no algorithm finds - and why they matter most
    • What it means to feel truly seen rather than fixed
    • How a song or a film can change your life in a way no podcast ever could
    • Building a life from scratch when nobody handed you a blueprint
    • What a season of honest conversations taught me about wisdom and myself

  • You're not behind. We're all just ordinary, in the middle, just trying - Sue Cook on growing up without support, finding strength through hardship and why we're all just figuring it out | The Daisy Chain

    You're not behind. We're all just ordinary, in the middle, just trying - Sue Cook on growing up without support, finding strength through hardship and why we're all just figuring it out | The Daisy Chain
    2026/05/28

    Most of the wisdom we consume comes from people who have arrived. People with titles, platforms, track records. People who have packaged up what they know and presented it as a formula. This week's guest has none of that. What she has instead is a life, fully, bravely, extraordinarily lived.


    Sue Cook is not a public figure. She is my neighbor. One of my mother's closest friends. One of the women who helped raise me after I lost my mum at 14. I have known Sue my entire life. And then I pressed record, and she showed me sides of herself I had never seen in thirty years of knowing her.


    Sue grew up with a violent father and a mother who didn't want her. She escaped, raised three boys alone without a car, built a career entirely from scratch, completed a degree in her fifties, and is now caring for Joyce, her 98-year-old aunt, with the same fierce, unsentimental love she has brought to everything in her life. She has never had a safety net. She has never waited for permission. And she has never let anyone else's opinion of what she can do change what she knows she is capable of.


    In this conversation, Sue and Daisy talk about what it really means to be strong when you're terrified, why nothing you learn is ever wasted, and what it looks like to build a life entirely on your own terms. Sue shares the unexpected gift her violent father gave her, introduces the zone of proximal development - a concept that reframes where you are right now not as behind, but as exactly in the middle of getting there, and explains what Joyce, at 98 and living with dementia, has taught her about presence, pleasure and how to really be alive.


    She also shares the one piece of advice that has carried her through everything: there will always be someone with more and someone with less. We are all just ordinary. Just trying.


    This one is for anyone who has ever felt ordinary and wondered if that was enough. Sue has something to say about that.


    Every Thursday at 3pm. 🌼


    In this episode we discuss:

    • Growing up without a safety net and finding strength through adversity
    • How to be strong even when you're terrified
    • Why nothing you learn is ever wasted
    • The zone of proximal development, why you're not as behind as you think
    • Giving yourself permission to stop doing things you've always done
    • Why we're all just ordinary, just trying
    • Intergenerational wisdom, what the elderly can teach us about being alive
    • Building a life and career from nothing
    • The importance of friendship during parenthood
    • Caring for an ageing parent and what it teaches you about yourself
