Peptides seem to be everywhere at the moment.

Whether it's social media, wellness clinics, biohacking podcasts or conversations between friends, it feels like everyone is talking about peptides for everything from better sleep and energy to fat loss, muscle building and ageing well.

But what actually are peptides? Which claims are backed by science, which are overhyped, and how do people know whether they're right for them?

Today I'm joined by Dean Henry to unpack the world of peptides and help us understand what's fact, what's fiction, and what we should all know before considering them.

Hair is one of those topics that seems to come up in every conversation. Whether it's finding a colour that actually suits you, covering greys, deciding whether extensions are worth it, or simply trying to make your hair look a little fuller and healthier, there is so much advice out there that it can be difficult to know what is actually right for you.

And I think so many women are looking for that balance. We want beautiful hair, but we also want healthy hair. We want colour that looks natural, extensions that nobody can spot, and routines that fit into real life rather than taking hours every week. So today, I wanted to have an honest conversation about all of it — from the biggest mistakes people make with colour and extensions, to how to choose the right shade, maintain healthy hair, and achieve that effortless look that so many of us are chasing.

Joining me is Louise Bailey, founder of Beauty Club London, who has built a hugely loyal following thanks to her expertise in colour, extensions and hair health. Louise is known for creating beautiful, natural-looking results and helping women feel like the best version of themselves, without the trends or the fuss.

Today I’m joined by Stefanie O’Connell - an award-winning journalist who writes about money, power and ambition, and the author of The Ambition Penalty.

Her work challenges a lot of what we’ve been told as women - that if we just work hard enough, lean in, and push through the imposter syndrome, we’ll get there.

But the data tells a very different story.

Stefanie looks at the real cost of ambition for women - financially, professionally and personally and why so many women are feeling burnt out, disillusioned, and stuck… despite doing everything “right”.

And as a mum herself, she brings such an important lens to what this actually looks like in real life.
