    Talking with Jack from pet rescue charity St Giles Animal Rescue

    Earlier this summer I chatted to Jack Linnell, Centre Director at St Giles Animal Centre and Rescue in Taunton, Somerset. Jack's family established the centre, so animal care and rescue are in his blood, so to speak, and his passion and compassion are clear in everything he says about his work and his life. Listen to this episode to find out more about Jack and the centre, including lots of valuable advice and tips for caring for your pet dog or cat.

    My guest Kate Olver is an NHS midwife and also provides invaluable pre and post natel support to women in her local town of Taunton. As 'the village midwife', Kate ensures mums to be and new mums (and dads too of course), are equipped with the knowledge they need to make informed decisions about their baby's birth and care.

    Stepping Stones and slabs of cake with Coleen and Di

    Coleen and Di work tirelessly to find foster homes for young adults aged 18+ who need the continued support of a family to help them navigate their way to independent living. Their compassion and understanding of the challenges faced by youngsters who have spent some or all of their young lives in the care system is palpable; these ladies deserve your ears! Oh yes, and Coleen bakes a mean sultana tray bake which keeps the pair going when the going gets tough. Find out more about Stepping Stones at Somerset Council.

    Can picking up poo ever be mindful? Teresa Wort says yes!

    Teresa Wort found mindfulness after a serious accident, and has worked with many people who struggle to find focus and happiness in the busy modern world. But it isn't all about sitting under a tree and mediating (although it is that too), Teresa encourages her clients to be mindful about everything they do...whether they like it or not! Including picking up the dog's poo! In the last couple of years Teresa has found a little bit of fame in her local town of Taunton in Somerset as host of a local community radio show where she talks to guests about life and the steps they take to bring mindfulness into their own lives.

    Emma Britton's journey from radio to celebrant

    It was really just by chance that my  guest Emma Britton found herself with a long career in local radio. But her next career move was more considered...she uses her experience of talking to people to underpin her new role as a celebrant, which is someone who officiates at non-religious ceremonies such as weddings and funerals. Listen as we chat about how cake has kept Emma going through years of early mornings and tricky interviews, why she decided to move on from radio and the joy she now gets from helping people make their special moments memorable.
