About this listen

 This episode is a little different. And a little brilliant (if I do say so myself).

Because for Episode 100, I’m flipping the mic — and being interviewed by someone who knows me almost better than I know myself!

That someone is the utterly brilliant Kay Ribeiro — journalist, editor, scriptwriter, BAFTA judge and all-round creative powerhouse — and also one of my oldest (and dearest) friends.

She was given free rein over the questions, and what unfolded was a rather marvellous conversation.

In this episode, we chat about:

  • My earliest storytelling memories
  • Leaving my career in teaching to chase the writing life
  • The non-glamorous truth about writing book #1
  • What writing courses have taught me about rejection, resilience, and rewriting
  • Why I went back to non-fiction when I’d lost my spark
  • Imposter syndrome, perfectionism, comparisonitis — and how to wrangle them all with a pen
  • Writing habits, word-count tracking, and my spreadsheet love affair
  • My fiction WIP (yes, I’ve finally dusted it off)
This isn’t just a podcast milestone — it’s a little time capsule of the last 100 episodes, the journey I’ve been on, and the creative lessons I’ve learned (sometimes the hard way).

A big thank you for being here on this journey - I’m beyond grateful.

I hope you enjoy listening.
