Came out at 32. Thought he’d wasted 12 years. Now he runs Attitude Magazine and Rolling Stone UK - and has Elton John on speed dial.

In this episode I sit down with Darren Styles OBE, who talks openly about the years he spent hiding who he was before finally stepping into himself. We discuss the twelve-year journey it took to convince Elton John to do a feature, the wild and chaotic reality behind some magazine shoot VPLs (visible penis lines), and the real work and honesty that marriage can demand.

This is a conversation about identity, courage, pride, and loving yourself enough to become who you were always meant to be.

Believe in yourself, always. 🏳️‍🌈✨

This week I’m joined by the incredible singer Deina for a conversation that flows from star signs and energies (including why my Capricorn self and my Leo boyfriend might not be the most compatible 👀), to the unfiltered truths of a girls’ group chat, and the creative process behind her EP and upcoming album. Deina also takes us behind her lyrics - unpacking the stories, emotions, and moments that shaped her music. It’s equal parts astrology tea & music inspo!

What do you do when you hit 42, walk away from a 20-year marriage, and suddenly find yourself back on Hinge wondering what on earth “vibes” and “icks” are?

If you’re Ellie McKay, you reinvent yourself completely and the old version of you would probably be horrified.

In this episode, Ellie spills the tea on everything: from millionaire to homeless, telling her kids about the divorce, dating in midlife, why so many people settle for mediocre (and why she refuses to), and the wild ride of falling in love with her boss. We dive into sex parties, postnatal depression, self-development, and the chaos of working with your mum (spoiler: don’t do it).

Ellie is hilarious, brutally honest, and refreshingly real. This conversation will make you laugh, maybe blush, and definitely think twice about where you’re playing it safe in your own life.
