It's the Season 6 finale and the 12 mile charity walk is just around the corner. We get into where we're at with training, including our first proper walk out to our starting point, testing out some routes and getting a feel for what the day is going to look like.

We also talk a change to the finish location, why we've made it, and how we're planning to approach the walk itself.

A big thank you as well to everyone who has donated so far. We may have hit our initial target for Andy's Man Club, but there's still time to keep that going.

With our 12 mile charity walk getting closer, we're back on the scales and properly getting into our walk training. It's been a bit up and down if we're honest, but we're starting to build some momentum and figure out what it’s actually going to take to get through it.

We talk weight loss, walking for fitness and how easy it is to fall in and out of routine, especially when life gets in the way.

There's also a trip to a TMNT cinema event, a couple of comedy shows, and everything else that's been going on alongside trying to get ourselves ready for the challenge.

A mix of progress, honesty and figuring it out as we go.

This week we're joined by Stephanie Waring, best known as Cindy Cunningham from Hollyoaks.

We start off where you'd expect with a bit of Hollyoaks chat and Rich questioning his memory of the show: Cindy really did marry Tony twice!

From there it turns into a much deeper conversation as Steph talks about taking the gamble at 17 to go all in on acting, and what it's actually been like building a career in that world over time.

She opens up about eating disorders, body confidence and how those things don't just disappear, they follow you through life.

There's some really relatable stuff in here from our side as well around mental health, confidence, and how easy it is to get stuck in your own head.

We also talk about what happens when life throws you curveballs and how we adapt when things don't go to plan.

Steph also shares more in her book Breaking the Script, which we've both read and thoroughly recommend.
