In this episode, Leigh Campbell is joined by Leonie Barlow to unpack the wardrobe tweaks we can all make to feel more timeless, classic and confident in every outfit we put on. 

Listen to find out why wrap dresses should become your new best friend and the colours everyone should avoid (at all costs).

Trinny Woodall is in a new era. She’s not quite sure what it’s called but it’s definitely a new life stage. Her beauty company is wildly successful. She’s newly single after a decade-long live-in relationship. Her daughter has left home. And she’s living with two men in their 30s. As flatmates.

At age 59, she also posed naked on a horse. Not everyone liked that.
As always, Trinny is candid, funny, vulnerable and an utter delight.

Trinny has a new book called Fearless.It's a manual about how to dress, defining your style, finding your colours and understanding the right beauty routine for your skin.

What if it took you until MID life to say out loud something that you’ve been trying to find the words for your whole life.

Something like: “Yes, I know I am a mother, married to a man, but I am also bisexual…and I’m ready to date women.”That’s the story of today’s guest, the novelist Julie Cohen.

Julie was in her 40s when she came out as bisexual. She tells Holly Wainwright that some people asked her why she bothered. As if age, itself, rendered her sexuality irrelevant. Others suggested that just as an adolescent’s sexuality can be dismissed as a “phase” -  perhaps hers was simply a mid-life crisis.

Dating after divorce, navigating the apps and the first post-long-term relationship sexual encounters are interesting and nerve-wracking for anyone, and Julie says that was no different for her. You’re going to hear how it all went, the pleasures of post-penis sex, what she found the differences in dating men and women to be, and just how it felt to be living the version of herself that, as Julie says, she didn’t even have a word for when she was growing up.

You can follow Julie Cohen on Instagram here.

You can find Julie’s books here.
