A collection of the interviews, features, and conversations I've been lucky enough to be part of, on other people's platforms, telling my own story.
Spinning Plates with Sophie Ellis-Bextor
Podcast | May 2025
An hour and a half of unfiltered conversation with Sophie: growing up with an alcoholic dad, years spent trying to be the "good girl," and learning to embrace a messy, chaotic family life instead.
Sophie called my Moth story "five minutes of supreme storytelling," so I'll take that.

Women’s Business with Nicky Elliott
The rage, resilience and transformation of a woman An hour with host Nicky Elliott covering a huge amount of ground: my journey from acting to coaching, the complexities of a multi-heritage background, and how motherhood reshaped my professional path entirely.
We talked about going from insisting I "wasn't an angry person" to actually getting in touch with my own rage, the intersection of race and career, and the sheer audacity it takes to pursue an uncharted path.

WECAN with Stephanie Ferrario
An interview covering the whole thread that runs through everything I do: performing on The Moth Mainstage at Union Chapel, coaching individuals to find and use their own voice, and the work I do as a relational dynamics and speaking coach, helping female entrepreneurs, corporate leaders, and mothers through transitions.
We also talked about Women Are Mad, co-founded with psychotherapist Jennifer Cox, and the mental health community it's grown into.
As actress, writer, podcaster, and mother of three, I joined The Wobbly Middle Season 2 finale to talk about reclaiming yourself. From centre stage to the school gate and back again, I shared what it took to reawaken her creative life after years on mute.
In this warm, frank conversation, I reflect on the disconnection so many women feel after stepping back from their careers – and how I wrote my way back into my multi-hyphenate roles. Together with hosts Susannah de Jager and Patsy Day, we dive into the messy middle of rediscovery, thrilling over the power of women’s anger, and throwing the idea of “balance” straight overboard.
The Wobbly Middle Podcast
Podcast | July 2025
Podcast | February 2025
I join my longtime friend Ben Yeoh, to talk about cancer, honesty, estrangement, the unexpected new “year of undoing”, a return to myself rather than a neat reinvention story and creative work in real life. We talk about why the language of “brave” can feel wrong, why “What can I do?” often misses the mark, and what I mean by being a “bad patient”.
We discuss anti-heroine storytelling, friendship breakups, social media’s double edge, and what creative work looks like without romantic routines: write where you can, start small, “plod”, find mentors, and build community.
