So, you know when you’re *supposed* to be interviewing someone professionally and you end up just chatting away like mates? Such was my experience of interviewing this week’s guest, Sophia Money-Coutts – the former features director at Tatler and now a thrice-published author – resulting in a laughter-filled episode which covers everything from egg freezing; solo travel; Zoom fatigue; and what happens when you become newly-single in your 30s. 

P.s. Sophia also shared the best (or indeed worst) songs on her break-up soundtrack, including Tracy Chapman’s ‘The Promise’ and Passenger’s ‘Golden Leaves’. Broken hearts, steer clear. 

 

Sophia’s latest novel, The Wish List, is out now, available from <a href='https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B081DJ3YF2'>Amazon</a> and <a href='https://www.waterstones.com/book/the-wish-list/sophia-money-coutts/9780008370565'>Waterstones</a>.
