Lorraine Candy: The Joys Of Cold Water Swimming

On the show this week I have Lorraine Candy, one of the most influential people on the UK’s magazine industry and formerly editor-in-chief at Cosmopolitan, ELLE & latterly Sunday Times Style. Lorraine is also the host of the Postcards from Midlife podcast, and author of new book, Mum, What’s Wrong With You – a funny, practical manual for anyone raising teenage girls. I found this conversation so refreshing – Lorraine is full of helpful advice about looking after yourself and living your most grounded, authentic life. We discuss: 


  • The joys of cold water swimming
  • How alone time underpins self-awareness
  • The ‘distraction’ problem inherent in the wellness industry
  • How tuning in with your individual energy levels can have a game-changing effect on your work output
  • The relationship between hormonal changes and mental health
  • & much more 


Lorraine Candy's book, 'Mum, What's Wrong With You?': 101 Things Only Mothers of Teenage Girls Know, is available to buy now.


My book, Alonement: How To Be Alone and Absolutely Own It, is also out now from Amazon, Waterstones and all good bookshops.
