Give Me Strength with Alice Liveing

I am an avid podcast-listener, guest. and author, and I have listened to literally hundreds of podcasts that purport to integrate Health, cap H, of every kind: mental, physical, emotional. Many are very good; some are meh; some are deplorable and make me cringe. I (unthinkably; very late to the party) found myself traveling down the rabbit hole that is Suranne Jones’ work (acting, producing, etc), and had recently learned of the issues she dealt with while juggling emotionally and physically difficult work going back a few years. I was *stunned* to hear her talk about it on this podcast with such candor, grace, and bravery. As an author whose book came out at the start of lockdown, I was supposed to be touring and instead wound up having a Covid-related stroke and have spent the last four years trying to haul my post-menopausal self back from the edge in an integrated, holistic manner. So I was absolutely blown away by Jones’ conversation here with Alice; it should be required listening for all women who are burning the candle everywhere, who are pushing their bodies and spirits to the point of collapse and well beyond, who somehow cannot allow themselves the space and honor to take time to truly listen to their bodies until it is too late. Alice is a truly wonderful, thoughtful host, and I count her podcast as one of the very best in its category, and generally-speaking. Absolutely required listening. (And grateful thanks for Jones’ clarity and generosity in shedding light on what often continues to be profoundly stigmatized.)

I love her focus on actionable advice that’s simple and adaptable depending on where you’re at :)

I love the diversity of the topics, they're also well presented and highly impactful!

Great guests, but Alice tends to dominate the conversation at times . Avoiding bringing the conversation to herself would make for much better interviews.
