Sunetra Sarker has been a familiar face on British television for decades — from Brookside and No Angels to nearly a decade in Casualty, and more recently Ackley Bridge. But it's what she has done since leaving the security of that long-running role that makes her such a good MidPoint guest.

Sunetra talks openly about hitting the MidPoint as a real turning point — the moment she stopped playing it safe and started taking more risks. She also talks honestly about the menopause, and how it was actually being on Loose Women and hearing her fellow panellists talk so openly about their own experiences that made her realise what she was going through herself.

Becoming more comfortable in her own identity as a British Asian woman who grew up in Liverpool, whose parents were suspicious of her professional path, exploring new projects and how she’s tried new things are themes of this conversation. This episode reminds us again of why being in the MidPoint is actually alright and brings its own benefits.
