31 years old, Head Saleswoman. In this episode Clare describes the trials and tribulations she has faced throughout her life, from being adopted to breaking down in her car as she came to realise how ill she had become with anorexia. After experiencing what seemed to be a momentary death as she drowned in a rip tide on a holiday in New Zealand, Clare explains how from that moment on, death became anything but scary. We talk about what life is like loosing a parent to cancer at a young age and the belief that your spirit leaves your body upon dying. Clare ends the podcast by reminiscing on her childhood in Wales and how blissful those days free of technology were.

19 years old, Psychology Student. There is nothing better than a good old trip down memory lane! In this episode I chat with my long time dance buddy Belle! Belle begins the episode by sharing what brings her joy in life and how Covid has reminded her of the simple lesson to live in the moment (especially now that pubs have re-opened!). She continues to describe the importance of home as well as staying in contact regularly, regardless of location. Belle gives her opinion on fame and fortune and whether it has ever appealed to her ... and finally, Belle and I reminisce about our dance days and how choreographing the Junior school musical was the highlight of our school career!

56 years old, Father of three. This calming conversational episode takes a look into Roger's life and how Nikos Kazantzakis' Zorba the Greek made him aware of his own lack of spontaneity as well as shining a light on the importance of the small things in life, whether that be a freshly baked loaf of bread or a beautiful sunset. Roger candidly shares his inability to negotiate and the importance of a kitchen table wherever he dwells, whether that be physical or metaphorical. Roger shares the remarkable tale about his father, who after becoming a paraplegic as a result of a plane crash, was able to not only walk again, but able to have a family, after being told that would be impossible. The episode ends with a comment on the confusing drinking culture the U.K cultivates, and reality that unfortunately, life is not fair.

19 years old, Podcast Host. So to mark reaching my 20th episode and after popular demand, I have decided to record my own episode! I have been as honest and truthful as possible because I want to show everyone that if I can do it, anyone can. There are some high and low moments in this episode, but above all it just highlights how human I am and how normal I am. I hope you enjoy this episode (sorry for how long it is!) and it inspires you to do one yourself. Continue to share the podcast with friends and family and to leave a review on the podcasts app, but most of all I want to say thank you for sticking with me this far!

30 years old, Teacher. The second half of Salimatou's interview tackles the perception of the self in contrast with how others view you and to what extent their opinions about you matter. Through answering two similar questions, where your own self has the potential to be compromised, Salimatou emphasises how important it is to trust in yourself, to believe in yourself and mostly importantly to be willing to grow and improve yourself. Having an ego only stands in the way of progression!

30 years old, Teacher. The first half of Salimatou's interview really focuses on the question of identity and what it was like to grow up in both Paris, a more multicultural hotspot, as well as in Étréchy, a rural setting. This leads onto the greater topic of racism and xenophobia, where Salimatou gives her own opinion on the matter and how Paris, as a city, is not perfect. The specificities of France's constitution, such as universalism and assimilation, unveil the prominent inequalities within France, something which must be changed by politicians. However, she also praises her country and reminds us to stay positive and to not focus on the negatives, but to look to the future and to find the light at the end of the tunnel.
