‘Our very first gig as a pop band was the Brit Awards — the entire music industry booed us. It was terrifying. I was 19 years old.’
In this powerful and deeply honest episode, I’m joined by actor, singer, and mental health advocate Suzanne Shaw.
Suzanne first rose to fame in 2001 as a member of Hear’Say, the pop group formed through the reality TV show Popstars.
Suzanne shares her extraordinary story - from the highs of early success to the lows of burnout, public scrutiny, postnatal depression, grief, and alcohol dependency. In a candid and wide-ranging conversation, Suzanne talks about:
- How early fame impacted her mental health
- Becoming a single mum while performing in the West End
- Her decision to quit alcohol and reclaim her confidence
- Going plant-based and discovering the joy of ultra-running
- The tools she uses daily to stay grounded and well
- Her mission to help others through the Dare to Succeed community
Now five years sober, thriving on a plant-based lifestyle, and running ultra-marathons, Suzanne is a shining example of resilience, transformation, and purpose. This is one of our most moving and inspiring episodes to date - and the only episode that will feature an encounter with Sir Elton John.
