#Iamenough #UnashamED This is so important....we need to work with young people to help them deal with the shame (often perpetuated in schools) that brings about the feeling of not being worthy. We need to teach them critical awareness and help them build skills to cope. I have done the research and have academic backing ....I would really appreciate your ears @GeorgieHolt1980 @TheDiaryOfACEO @BeginAgainWithDavina @NickyCampbellMusic @fearnecotton Thank you for this podcast ...celebs sharing their vulnerabilities is such a powerful way to address shame ....and as @fearnecotton says never underestimate the power of knowing it is not just you
Such a good talk, I suffer with anxiety and panic, haven't been on a motorway for 15 years and my sleep is anxiety attacks through the night. Thank you for making me feel not alone.
Sorry you suffer. It's horrible. I too wake regularly during the night. I like on my own and an very fearful. No one to reassure...etc sending you courage.
I'm lying in bed in pain witb brutal fibromyalgia pain and going through the menopause at 43 feeling like i just want to give up and willing the strength that you both have. You 2 are amazing. Xx
This happened to me. Several years later and discovering what helped - slowly - slowly I have recovered. I had to completely change my life. I’m in a better place now. There is hope. I wish you all the best. Take care.
Fearne and Davina are such beautiful and strong women. I have so much admiration for them. Some advice I’d like to share with you all. 3 essential ‘guides to life.’ 1. Accept and respect who you are 2. Understand that peoples opinions of you does not define you as a person 3. Get comfortable with being uncomfortable ❤
Wow, wow wow wow. Amazing I am 54 and think I have been on this journey for way to long. Maybe even in the wrong direction. Gonna give it whatever it is another boost of what and who i am. Never to late right. Am scared to death but gonna give whatever I can to it. Thankyou so so much ladies. Needed the reminder that I'm not the only one suffering, plodding and even doubting myself. Thank you again. X
I'm was only 5 mins in and already hooked! I did this - left teaching 9 years ago and have never looked back! life is bigger and better. not easy but totally worth it
@@nathanscarlett8744 teachers underestimate how many transferable skills we actually have. I was very ill first but as I recovered I looked at what i love doing. in my case it was sewing and designing - eventually a started a fashion design business making clothes for women. now I am a broadcaster, I have a podcast @menopausewhilstblack and a radio show. I am also an artist, retreat house and a speaker. my years of teaching led me here. I would say to your wife to start looking at her hobbies or go back to them. maybe with a help of a life or business coach or simply with a journal and a pen. and also dont let teaching suck the life out of you. set boundaries in place so that what doesnt get done can wait. hard when there are kids involved but it is possible. give her my love. x
@@nathanscarlett8744 i took myself to therapy first. I had always sewn and leant into that eventually becoming a fashion designer for several years. Now I do lots including broadcasting but my advice to your wife is to lean into or rediscover what she loves doing. Teaching will suck the life out of you but teachers have a wealth of transferrable skills. In the end it’ll be about her recognising that she is worth more and her health is paramount. Good luck. Much love to you both.
What a first show. Made me cry listening to Fearne's struggle with anxiety. It's the part of me that I hate and fear the most, it's my own personal axe murderer. I'm so glad to hear it from someone in the public eye. HRT has helped me but it's always there under the surface. I want to achieve so much personally and do a brilliant job for my Kinship Grandchild but OMG, there's not one bit that's not hard!
Real. Raw. Refreshing. Thank you Fearne for openly sharing your journey ❤. Thank you Davina for bringing us Begin Again - just what the doctor ordered ❤
Such a great conversation with Fearne. I hope she knows how great at TV she is. She's an effortlessly natural presenter who instantly makes the audience comfortable because they feel like they're in safe and capable hands. She was great in everything she did. Im sad she was never secure in that knowledge because she was one of the faces of live television for our generation. Looking forward to this great series of interviews :)
This video popped up and I had to drop everything to watch it! I felt like a fly on the wall, listening to a very raw and honest conversation between the two hugely accomplished ladies. Listening to Fearne and Davina's struggles is liberating and empowering. So grateful. Thank you for sharing your wisdom! Reminder: All is well. It is all part of the journey.
Thank you so much for this honest conversation ❤ I am a 53 year old perimenopausal single mum to a 14 year old who I elected to homeschool due to the school system affecting him badly. He is autistic and has gender dysphoria. I am constantly pushing to get him help but it's quite challenging. I sadly myself still suffer from an ed and self harm after coming out of a toxic relationship with his dad after 16 years. I'm waiting for trauma therapy, whilst volunteering within mental health to try and make a change in the services for others. I learnt tools to help with my panic attacks, but they are frightening. When I start to feel it well up inside me I start to sing or dance as it gets rid of adrenslin externally! I've found this works for me...*or screaming into a pillow or when driving 😃 I am extremely animated and optimistic but I struggle giving my son all my energy whilst I contain all my own overwhelming issues. I too keep busy or I would probably have a break down. Sadly I have no support system which is hard because there is no one to lean on. I guess this makes me more resilient as I have to get on with everything I do come across as vivacious and happy but underneath I really don't look after myself. I'm hoping therapy will help me help myself finally. Sorry for the essay,I only intended to write a couple of sentences! Xx
Oh my !!! I'm not alone ...thank you so much for this ...I'm going to listen to this every day ...I am enough ....I am not useless ....you do not need to be terrified buy everything..........thank you beautiful ladys ❤
Two minutes in and subscribed. This is exactly where I am in life, at 57 everything I’ve ever known has gone and I have to begin again - the universe has listened and brought me here, thank you and looking forward to the next inspiring episode!
Love the conversation about blended families its still not spoken about enough. I have just had our first grandchild from my blended family its a real blessing 💗
"I can't do it at the moment". I'm in that phase with 1 particular thing right now. I also know it will come back around but for now, it's a no! Really nice to hear Fearne voice this. Always admired Fearne on TV, she always brought sunshine and still does. Great podcast ladies ❤
Absolutely Loved this podcast. I am 42 and been suffering with anxiety for as long as I can remember. Spent most of my life trying to hide it and thinking I was mad !. People like Fearne have brought this to the surface and made people like me talk more and therefore heal more. Fearne should be prescribed on the NHS !. Love her. Xx
Im definitely going on a "no-spree"! Thank you for this podcast. Inspiring ❤ I have a busy mind that never dials down too. Have been exploring if i have internalised ADHD. Though... dont need to label it ☺️
This was really good to listen to. Fern is so articulate in how she feels . I never know where to start in explaining how I feel . Thanks ladies . This was a form of therapy for me . Felt like I wasn’t alone in how I feel
Love how honest Fearn is. It definitely helps hearing someone elses struggles and view points. Helps us as humans to know we are not the only ones that feel insecure, learning to love ourselves more, dealing with anxiety/panics. Thats why i wish womens groups were much more common. Interesting interview. Also loved how articulate Fearn is, shows her inteligence. Lovely to also see the great love and affection between them. Beautiful. All the best with it Davina. xx❤🎉
Absolutely incredible podcast and resonated with this so much! I’ve watched Fern since she was a young broadcaster and always knew she was a special soul. Yourself Davina I have no words! I feel incredibly blessed to have this type of talk from you beautiful woman and it can be celebrated. You are an amazing, inspiring genuine person with so much love! I look forward to future podcasts in this series. 🫶🏻✨
Thank you !! Being in a place in my life where I feel very conflicted. 43 going through menopause but holding on to not being “old” ?! There is a sense of freedom in finding who I am again without peer pressure but knowing this is okay and accepted. Thank you for the confirmation ❤️
Liked immediately because I already know I’m going to love this, cant wait to get it in my ears and eyeballs! Davina, thanks for this - we’ve been waiting for you ❤
Great work, Davina. I thoroughly enjoyed this, and look forward to watching more interviews on your channel. I suffer with anxiety and I found this very calming and organic. Thank you. 💙
Love these two women, so inspiring with such a strong and much needed message that "it is OK to just be yourself" and the peace that finding that brings. Brilliant start to what is going to be a regular Podcast experience for me ❤❤
This was a great chat. Love you both, very relatable in a few areas there. We are all just trying to get through life, finding our way and some struggle more than others. I really don’t have friends to confide in due to the fact I don’t like the typical social environment and I’m yet to find my people…which is difficult now I’m 33. I take comfort in nature and walks and focusing on the small good things along the way. Lots of love everyone and to Fearne I hope you find even more of your happy place 💛☀️💛
Felt like listening to my two big sisters having a chat. I have been listening to Fearne’s Happy Place podcast and Davina’s DOAC interview was one of my favourites so this is quite special ❤️
I feel like Fearne is describing symptoms I've had of perimenopause and now menopause. I'm in a stuck place right now. Its exhausting and making me feel very down. I'm going to look into emdr, already having therapy but not sure if it's having the desired effect, yet. Great show ladies❤ I look forward to more episodes, subscribed before the first 10 minutes and also saved some happy place episodes as i know its something I'll love to watch too❤❤
This is the best Interview with the two of you ladies! I can relate to so much of what Fearne is saying, therapy is hard work but for me, so worth while to really build my self-worth. I've done a lot of work on me the last 5 years and I would encourage anyone and everyone to do the work, you won't regret it. Thank you for a wonderfully vulnerable conversation and I can't wait to hear more episodes from you Davina - AND what a GREAT name for a Podcast!
I’m half way through listening and feel I need to say something to Fearne. There will come a day when something that used to trigger you suddenly won’t. That moment will surprise you and delight you. You won’t quite believe it at first. It is the most incredible feeling. I look forward to when you experience that moment. You will my lovely.
Love love lovedddd this so much. Fearn has always been someone I wondered about often. Where had she gone, so this explains a lot. She’s beautiful inside and out x
Ferne and Reggie were my childhood, Caroline Flack on TMI, Dick and Dom, Sam and Mark🥰 Such good times to grow up with you and now discussing the things you are struggling with and being able to relate
Well done, Fearn. I am convinced that this conversation has helped so many people. Also, I hope that this has been part of the healing process for you, too. ❤
Love love love both these women's transparency, honesty and authenticity. There needs to be more open interviews/discussions like this. Thank you Davina for this new channel and thank you Fearne for your brave honestly xx
What a gorgeous conversation! - So warm & deeply honest. Thank you Davina & CONGRATULATIONS to you on your first BRILLIANT episode! And a massive thank you to you too, Fearne. Your honesty has really inspired me. Much love to you both x
Wow wow wow. I have just come across this by accident and am so grateful, feeling like I'm on the verge of a pivot in life, and undergoing trauma therapy and listening to you guys has felt like a warm hug. Love this, I grew up with you two on the telly and always thought you were fab. Keep being you, you're fab x
I would like to hear honest accounts of what these women used to cope with stress, emotions and anxiety. We’ve nearly all been there but later in life you start to understand what you have been doing. Thank you for being honest about your emotions. These talks are really helpful. I am a 71 year old and am having to reinvent myself so that I can be true to the real me
My son did EMDR after surviving a car accident and it changed his life! He can sleep now, before he would have flash backs as he fell asleep and nightmares!
Happy Place has gotten me through some very tough times. Absolutely loved this podcast and will definitely be tuning in to future episodes as I am definitely at a time of being ready to begin again but lacking direction.
Spot on about needing to be busy, cos if you aren’t you have time for negative thoughts or unresolved issues to surface! Also meditation is tough for the same reason.
Wonderful debut! Thank you both sooo much. Brilliant 1st guest and great podcast. These conversations are so important. Looking forward to future conversations 🎉🎉🎉
Thanks ladies l suffer with bad anxiety for yrs but soldier on on meds but l try to talk myself through them.panic attacks so good listening were not alone.Here in my country l.couldnt afford that whilst not working health issues long term but again thank you ladies❤
So excited. Just sat down with cup.of tea to watch. What a lively surprise to have two wonderful ladies share their life experience. Excited Davina for your first podcast and looking forward to.more from.you xx
My two favourite women ‘from the telly’. So much respect and love for both of you and this interview was amazing. It really touched me and at times I felt I was listening to myself. I am FINALLY with a good therapist and I am starting my EMDR journey in the next couple of weeks. It’s scaring me but this gives me hope. Thank you!
Oh my gosh, ladies! I mesn I have loved Davina ever since I came to the UK 20 years ago. And although I moved back to my home country years ago I still follow her and adore her. And her having this brilliant conversation with amazing Fern…I mean. No words. Thank you. It moved me more than I can say. Love
