Summary

For this very special 200th edition, I'm joined by reality TV mega star Ferne McCann, who opens up about the challenges of balancing motherhood and a successful career in the public eye.

Ferne gets frank and honest about her journey to fame, how she manifested her dreams, and why her initial desire for celebrity status wasn't all it cracked up to be. We discuss what it was really like behind the scenes in reality TV shows "TOWIE," "I'm a Celebrity," and "SAS: Who Dares Wins," as we look at the impact of fame on mental health and Ferne's journey of self-discovery and personal growth.

No stranger to controversy and media attention, Ferne candidly shares how she's used her own challenges to shape her new business venture, Shoorah, to help support mental health and wellbeing, knowing firsthand the impact it can have.

Real, raw, and uncensored. An incredibly honest and vulnerable interview packed with value. \U0001fa77

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • Being a mother and having a successful career is possible, but it requires flexibility and the ability to juggle multiple responsibilities.
  • It is important to challenge societal boundaries and perceptions that suggest women cannot have it all.
  • Self-belief and persistence are key in achieving one's goals and manifesting one's desires.
  • Going through tough times and taking responsibility for one's actions can lead to personal growth and learning.
  • Surrounding oneself with supportive and like-minded individuals is crucial for personal development and success

BEST MOMENTS

"I just always loved that celebrity culture and wanted to be in the limelight."

"SAS was hands down harder than giving birth. It was hands down the hardest thing I have ever done."

"I think having that responsibility, like you can't go through life having that victim mentality."

"I just think if you can own something, that's the only way to move forward in my eyes."

"When you don't drink, everything is heightened, like your colours, your conversations, they're more enriching because you are just in the moment."
