Tanya Hennessy on fertility, body image and why you shouldn’t call her an influencer on the Stellar podcast

On today's episode of Something To Talk About, Tanya joins Sarrah to discuss why she decided to share so much of her private life with her followers, the realities of being funny for a living when you’re going through something very dark and why she hates being called an influencer. 

Tanya Hennessy has been in the entertainment industry since 2011. She’s a radio host, comedian and producer. She’s written three kids’ books, two non-fiction novels, created three podcasts, gone on I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! and you’ve probably been sent one of her viral videos on Facebook, Instagram or TikTok. But five years ago she made the decision to put her fertility ahead of her career, and seven rounds of IVF later, Tanya and her husband Tom are still trying to become parents.
