    66 - with Philippa Cunniff, family law and divorce expert

    66 - with Philippa Cunniff, family law and divorce expert

    My guest on this episode is Philippa Cunniff, Partner and Head of Family Law at Gilson Gray. She is one of Scotland’s most well respected divorce lawyers, who has guided many women and men through this particularly challenging time of their life.

    In advance of recording this podcast I spent some time looking at the kinds of questions that reared their head on this topic, things like - how long does a divorce take? What does it cost? What am I entitled to? As well as many others. Philippa provides great advice in relation to these questions and shares some amazing insight into the kinds of things that can crop up in a divorce from emotional needs to hidden finances and pre-nups. And it’s not only marriage break up we focus on Philippa talks about what happens when a cohabiting couple split too.

    My aim with this episode is to give you insight should you ever need this kind of support. I hope you find it interesting.

    Gilson Gray are a comprehensive law firm, offering expert legal, property and financial services, they are our preferred estate agent partners and have offices across Scotland. Offering exclusive rates for egg members, email egg@gilsongray.co.ukwith enquiries.

    65 - with Bonnie Garmus, author of Lessons in Chemistry and international phenomenon

    65 - with Bonnie Garmus, author of Lessons in Chemistry and international phenomenon

    My guest on this episode of the Egg Talks To…podcast is Bonnie Garmus, whose debut novel, Lessons in Chemistry was published in April 2022 and has since become an international best seller. It’s been praised not only by readers and literary critics around the world but also by professors in chemistry!

    I had a really interesting conversation with Bonnie online from her home in London. She is such a busy person, she works with 40 publishers around the world and does all the promotion, touring etc that goes with that. She tells me about how she was spurred into action to write the book when something happened to her in her professional life that I think a lot of us can identify with.

    This book has quite literally had a life-changing impact for some people who have read it and I really love the great wisdom and insight she shares when it comes to dealing with rejection and setbacks.
    I had posted that I was going to interview Bonnie and asked the Egg community for questions in advance so it was great to receive a plethora of different questions and topics to cover with her. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!

    64 - with Gail Porter

    64 - with Gail Porter

    Gail needs no introduction, many of you will have seen her before, heard parts of her story. But what you may not have picked up over the years and in all those articles written and TV shows, is what a good, kind, funny women Gail is. We laughed a lot during this episode! Witty and honest, Gail talks about the death of her parents, the highs and lows of being a media personality, her love of giving back, and gives us an insight into her music taste…oh so different to mine. One of my most favourite guests, get ready to laugh with, and love, Gail Porter.

    63 - love, loss, grief & a very special book

    63 - love, loss, grief & a very special book

    Welcome back to egg talks to!

    After a bit of a break I am delighted to be back, and with a conversation that means a huge amount to me. After losing my parents I've been on a mission to talk about death, about grief, to support others going through the same. I believe that we are further united by our shared losses, and that by discussing the journey, we help ourselves, and others too.

    In this episode I chat to widows Doug and Alison about their grief journey, speaking to children about death, learning to live after loss, and a book.

    An emotional conversation, I am so grateful to Doug and Ali for trusting me with their stories. We all hope that by opening up, we can help others, that there will be a ripple effect.

    62 - Matt Haig meets The Boozy Book Club

    62 - Matt Haig meets The Boozy Book Club

    During lockdown my friend Kirsty set up the wonderful Boozy Book Club; pairing books with bespoke cocktails and thoughtfully curated gifts and packaging them up in a beautiful box, recipients would meet on-line at the end of the month to discuss the book with the author! We both adored The Midnight Library and wanted it to be in the box, but knew it would be a tricky mission to persuade Matt. But we did, and it truly was a team effort - thank you Sarah E for the introduction and to Matt's wife Andrea, for being so kind and saying yes.

    Matt was, as expected, an amazing guest. The Midnight Library is his 20th book, and he talked us through the process, the characters, and the dreaded editing. He spoke about the good in reframing uncertainty (this was recorded during the 3rd lockdown so particularly poignant), discussed some of his favourite books and quotes, and talked about chatting to us again when his book The Christmasaurus launched (must follow that up!).

    Matt made us laugh, brought joy to a pretty joyless time, and helped us raise £500 for his nominated Charity Papyrus.

    I hope you enjoy listening to this episode as much as we enjoyed recording it.
