    Stacey Duguid: Divorce, Toyboys & the Contentment vs. Happiness Debate

    Have you ever wanted to throw your whole life up in the air—just to see where it lands? Journalist and author of In Pursuit of Happiness Stacey Duguid did exactly that four years ago, and if her life since then was a Netflix series, you’d binge it in one sitting—hiding behind your hands one minute and cheering her on the next. In this episode, she joins me to unpack it all: love, divorce, reinvention, toyboys, and the hard lessons she’s learned while searching for—and not quite finding (yet!)—the fabled greener grass on the other side. We dive into divorce taboos, dating disasters (one word: strangler), the surprising joy of ToyboyWarehouse.com, and why her boob job was the best money she’s ever spent. Stacey also shares her biggest never again moments, what she wishes she had done instead, and her essential advice for anyone contemplating divorce. This episode is packed with deep—and often hilarious—life lessons: we get real about burnout, ADHD and the big one: if you know your enough, are you happy, or content?  And which is better?  Guest: Stacey Duguid   You Tube: Doom Call  Book: In Pursuit of Happiness The Enoughness with Melanie Rickey.

    Rosh Mahtani of Alighieri: Unlocking Courage, the Power of Heirlooms, and Rule-Breaking for Success

    How do you call in courage in the face of paralysing fear? For Rosh Mahtani, the answer lies in Dante Alighieri’s The Divine Comedy, the centuries-old poem that fuels her cult jewellery brand, Alighieri, and recently earned her an OBE. In this conversation, Rosh explains how the timeless (and sometimes cheeky) lessons hidden in the text inspired her to rip up the rule book and transform career confusion to creative success. Her designs have become symbols of courage, strength and belonging for a devoted community, including members of The Lion Club—Marcus Rashford, Dina Asher-Smith, and Iris Law, to name a few. Rosh and Melanie talk about the sentence that started it all: “In the middle of the journey of life, I found myself lost in a dark wood, unsure of the right path.”  They unpack the importance of being playful while learning, and how the endless pursuit of more unlocked a wildly successful brand, and then inspired charitable giving.  Plus, why what “more” looks like for her today is wildly different.  Guest: @alighieri_jewellery  @roshmahtani Website:  Alighieri       The Lion Club  Mentioned in this episode: The Trussell Trust Refuge British Pregnancy Association The Enoughness with Melanie Rickey.
