Spinning Plates with Sophie Ellis-Bextor

De: Sophie Ellis-Bextor
  • Resumen

  • Hello I’m Sophie Ellis-Bextor and this is my new series Spinning Plates where I speak to busy working women, who also happen to be mothers, about how they make it work. I am a singer and have released 7 albums in-between having my 5 sons who are aged between 1 and 16 so I spin a few plates myself. Being a mother can be the most amazing thing.. but it can also be hard to find time for yourself and your own ambitions. I want to be a bit nosy and see how other people balance everything. Join me while I speak to a host of interesting and inspirational women who’ve really made me think - and laugh, and sometimes cry.

    Welcome to Spinning Plates.

Episodios
  • Episode 150: Daria Khrystenko
    Mar 17 2025

    Daria Khrystenko fled her home in Kyiv on the day that Russia invaded Ukraine 3 years ago.


    She, her then 10 year old son, her mum and her 3 cats travelled to Poland where Daria now works with CARE Poland, as a translator and advocate, helping other refugee women rebuild their lives.


    Daria told me about the day the war broke out, and how she packed and left home in 20 minutes. She explained how she tries to create a new stability for her family in Poland and how she longs for fair peace in Ukraine.


    Spinning Plates is presented by Sophie Ellis-Bextor, produced by Claire Jones and post-production by Richard Jones.

  • Episode 149: Susie Crow
    Mar 10 2025

    Susie Crow runs a small business called Let Us Pretend, in which she ‘makes sparkly things’. I have bought wonderful brightly coloured, fringed capes from her which say ‘Happy New Year!’ and ‘Happy Christmas!’ She also makes personalised banners.


    Originally from Newcastle, Susie now lives in Sussex and has three children and a creative job that she loves. And she is the only person I can think of who has more sequins in her life than I do!


    Spinning Plates is presented by Sophie Ellis-Bextor, produced by Claire Jones and post-production by Richard Jones.

  • Episode 148: Tuppence Middleton
    Mar 3 2025

    Actress Tuppence Middleton is perhaps best known for playing Lucy Branson in Downton Abbey.


    She has a little girl with her Swedish husband and divides her time between England and Sweden.


    I spoke to Tuppence the week before her memoir Scorpions was published. It’s a highly personal book about living with OCD and it really helped me understand the day to day complexities of dealing with OCD and with emetophobia - the fear of being sick.


    We also talked about how OCD has given her a greater empathy for other people, and how it means she is always prepared for the worst case scenario.


    Spinning Plates is presented by Sophie Ellis-Bextor, produced by Claire Jones and post-production by Richard Jones.
