“What They Don’t Tell you About” is a podcast hosted by Grace McGovern, digging into the myths of topical and current industries. Every week we invite a guest to share with us either their myths, ideas or changed understandings of a topic that they are associated or feel close to in some way, whether they be fun or serious. We look at different understandings from those within a topic to those on the outside trying to be as honest and open as possible, while hopefully changing some of the preconceived discourse that may surround it.

    Sleep with Guy Leschziner

    Sleep with Guy Leschziner

    Welcome to Ep 5 of Season 2!
    I am so excited for todays guest! One of the main reasons for starting my podcast came after listening to one on sleep and the brain. Since then I have honestly been obsessed with everything sleep (I think my friends would back me up as I bore them on the reg about it). Listening and learning about sleep has really transformed my life, I know it sounds cliche but it really has!
    Today I have Guy Leschziner joining me. He is a Consultant neurologist and is clinical lead for the Guy's Hospital Sleep Disorders Centre, one of the largest sleep centres in Europe. He is also and author writing the book “The nocturnal brain”.
    We talk sleep debt, naps, alcohol and so much more. I am a huge fan of Guy and his work and I hope you are all able to take away as much sleep info from this as I did to be able to gain much more needed zzz's!
    Enjoy!

    Wine with Elliot Awin

    Welcome to Episode 4 season 2 of What They Don't Tell You About.
    Today we talk wine! Who doesn’t love that word. Joining me to discuss everything they don’t tell you about it we have the lovely Elliot Awin.
    Elliot comes from a family of wine lovers, and runs a multi award-winning importer and distributor business with his dad called Awin Barratt Siegel Wine Agencies
    I sit down with Elliot and we discuss wine taboos and myths, such as is paler rose actually better? And why does boxed wine get such a bad rep?
    I hope you enjoy this podcast, and work up as much of a craving for wine as I did.

    Holistic Health with Tori Boughey

    Holistic Health with Tori Boughey

    Happy Wednesday podcasters!
    This week we have the delight that is Tori Boughey. Ive known Tori for a few years now and Tori is one of those people that make you feel instantly relaxed and safe. Probably why she is so fabulous at what she does and we have her on the podcast speaking all things Holistic health and Life Coaching.
    Tori is a Holistic Health and Life Coach and developed her own method for happiness called the TBalance method. In this podcast we talk myths such as health being just about what you put into your body, and we touch on the positive effects of Holistic Health on anxiety, and how the understanding of crystals and chakras can help us become more in tune with ourselves.
    After speaking to Tori I immediately implemented some of her methods into my life and have reaped the benefits, so I hope you enjoy listening to this and are able to take away as much as I did.

    Starting a business with Anna Shillinglaw

    Starting a business with Anna Shillinglaw

    Welcome to ep 2, season 2 of What They Don't Tell You About!
    This week we have the wonder-woman that is Anna Shillinglaw. Anna is the founder and managing director of Milk Management who are a full service agency managing Women, Men, New Faces, Curve, Digital Influencers and Artists. We talk to her on everything they don't tell you about starting a business.
    After a career spanning over 17 years Anna found herself feeling that there needed to be a change within the fashion industry and that diversity and inclusion needed to be introduced. Being one of the first curve models Anna knew that models were misrepresented and therefore founded MiLK in 2011 to try and change this within the fashion industry.
    In this podcast we discuss where it all started for Anna and where MiLK was born. We also debunk ideas like whether a background in a field is necessary to start and does starting a business mean needing a lot of investment and funds.
    Being signed with MilK personally for over 3 years now, Anna is like family and speaks honestly of her highs and lows with me. I couldn't of asked for a better boss lady to do this podcast with so I hope you feel as inspired as I did after listening to this!

    Health and Fitness with Benjamin Alldis

    Health and Fitness with Benjamin Alldis

    Welcome to Season 2 of What They Don't Tell You About! Wooohooo!
    After what felt like a forever hiatus due to Covid-19 hitting, we are back in business. Many of the episodes recorded in Season 2 will likely of been recorded over wifi so please go easy on us if there are any sound quality issues.
    This week we have the lovely Benjamin Alldis from Peloton joining us. I was introduced to Ben a few years ago when he amazed me with his passion and commitment for fitness by waking up at the crack of dawn teaching 2-3 cycle classes every morning then going to a full time job in finance. Ben is now one of the UK Peloton Cycle instructors and has amalgamated a large fan base who ride with him daily and adoringly.
    In this podcast we chat all things fitness, sleep, marathon training (where Ben and my plans differed extremely), the importance of balance and more! I could of chatted with Ben for hours so I hope you enjoy this podcast just as much as we enjoyed chatting to Ben!
