Brogan and I became friends around the start of the pandemic when I reached out to her for advice, after having watched her from a distance for years beforehand. Being a content creating for over a decade really says a lot about her persistence, and I was inspired by her proactivity and motivation to consistently show up online. Despite trolls and negativity, she takes control of her own career and opportunities and she continues to grow and connect with her incredibly loyal and engaged following, so I wanted to chat to her about creating content, building an audience and the obstacles she's faced. I hope you enjoy our chat and be sure to check out Brogan's social media channels below if you aren't already following her.

This week i'm joined by the incredibly talented Lauren McCrostie! It was great to sit down with Lauren and have a chat and a cup of tea. In fact, I thought about switching out my entire show and starting a 'Lia and Lauren' podcast because she's just so easy to talk to!

For those who don't know, Lauren is mostly known for her acting roles in Tim Burtons 'Miss Perigrine's Home for Peculiar Children', 'The Falling' and 'Second Skin'.

It was great to have this chat touching on manifestation, actors and saving the planet. Lauren is about to launch a new project called Meraki mailouts, a business based around creativity and for anyone who wants to get more creative. More info and links below.

I sat down with Catherine and Lizzy Ward Thomas at Catherine's beautiful cottage in Hampshire and we all drank a lot of tea and had a great time recording this episode! I met the twins back in 2011 at Hurtwood House, a 6th form school in Surrey, UK. Even at 16, these girls had something extremely special; I remember hearing them harmonize and being so blown away with their soulful voices, the kind of singing that gives you goosebumps! As well as reminiscing on our school days, the girls gave me an insight into working as artists in the music business, what it's like to record music videos and also how a viral Tiktok song seems to be the conversation of every meeting right now. It comes as no surprise to see them making huge moves in the music industry! In 2016, the girls have become the first British country act to top the UK album chart.

I'm really excited to share this conversation I had with my good friend Jessica Madsen who is mostly known for her role as Cressida from Netflix's hit show, Bridgerton. It was so great to chat to Jess about the creative process, auditioning, filming, rehearsing and being part of a show this big as well as some chit chat about the acting industry in general. For more Jess, be sure to follow her on her social media, linked below.

Lucy and I met a couple of years ago at a party in Kings Cross hosted by Youtube Space London and she's been a great friend ever since. In this conversation, we talk about life as online creators and touch on the obstacles like dealing with trolls and being publicly shamed. Lucy shares what it was like to get called out online and how she's dealt with criticism on her channel English with Lucy, which has over 6 million subscribers.
