Summary

To mark the New Year, we wanted to give you a taster of our newest podcast. It’s called If I Can Do It - and if you liked Mad World, we think you’ll like this too. In each episode, Bryony talks to someone whose life-story can put a bit of spring in your step. From an Oscar-winning filmmaker to a feminist icon-in-the-making - these are people who have overcome big obstacles on the road to success, and who have some powerful advice to share with the rest of us. Up first is Mel B. In this intimate conversation, she talks Bryony through the relationship which swallowed the past decade of her life, how she finally escaped it, and what we can all do to look after ourselves in times of trouble. ----- If you or anyone you know by the issues raised in the episode, please contact: Women’s Aid w: https://www.womensaid.org.uk/ t: 0808 2000 247 -------- To hear future episodes, search ‘If I Can Do It’ in your preferred podcast app, or via the links below: Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/2VnSl0q Spotify: https://spoti.fi/2QlasQM Pocket Casts: https://pca.st/xev3 Radio Public: https://radiopublic.com/if-i-can-do-it-6VdRp9 See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
