TW: This episode contains discussion of suicide I’ve know Ashley Roberts for a long time - she’s someone who lights up whatever room she walks into, but the thing that always strikes me about her, is that she’s lived a tough life and yet still has this sunny disposition. I was really excited to have her come onto the pod and she did not disappoint - laughs, tears and everything in between… We cover: • The brutal reality of being in the pussycat dolls • How she honours her dad’s memory after losing him to suicide • Being the break in the cycle of family trauma • The power of breathwork to calm her anxiety • Deciding to be child-free • Our experience on Strictly Come Dancing (and whether we still watch our dances back with a glass of wine) This conversation was brimming with energy and emotion - Ashley is proof of how opening yourself to your own vulnerabilities can lead to a richer life - rich in sadness, rich in joy and rich in laughter too.
