BRINGING YOU WIT AND WISDOM SINCE 2018
"There’s usually a sweet spot, about 20 minutes in, when the guest has forgotten they’re doing a podcast. I love doing it.” — Fearne
Fearne talks personal, spiritual and the big picture with her amazing guests as she reveals what happiness means to them. We’ve engaged in chat with some of the funniest, wisest and forward-thinking minds out there, bringing you wit and wisdom, since 2018. We plan to keep the conversation going. Happy listening.
this weeks guest: Afua Hirsch
Do you get rid of your body hair? Do you hate your periods? Are you debating a nose job? Why? Writer and broadcaster Afua Hirsch has been tracing how we’ve become so loathing of our bodies.
In this chat with Fearne, Afua explains where our modern, Western notions of beauty come from, and why she’s advocating for us to celebrate how powerful our bodies are. She’s rediscovering and reclaiming rituals her ancestors will have done before Western ideals became the norm, and points out that wanting to change your facial features to conform to beauty trends will erase your ancestry.
