On the show: we’re joined by Author, theatre-maker Claire Christian. Claire has released her third book West Side Honey - which I was kindly sent an advanced copy of and I adored it! A sexy and empowering rom-com. Cleo navigates her new life as a solo mum, her underperforming florist business but through the chaos of it all is able to focus on herself. Her self-care and self-love journey takes off.  Claire has an inspiring story, we find out about her three novels, how growing up not seeing herself represented impacted her. The limiting beliefs and the not enough narrative so many of us tell ourselves. People pleasing with honest conversations about mental health and self-acceptance. TW: one of Claire’s books mentions the topic of suicide we don’t cover this in detail but a heads up in case this is triggering for you. In NZ call 1737, in Australia call Lifeline on 13 11 14.
