Can you believe it’s the last episode of our mini-series Advice from Friends? This week we are bringing you our conversation with the fabulous Mychael Owen, associate brand director, blogger and founder of Always Wear Red.

In this episode we talk about style - how it changes, how to find yours and what the clothes we choose really say about us. We talk about dressing for our mood, our ambitions and for ourselves. There’s plenty in here about letting go of the fear of judgement and how your clothes can help your confidence.

We loved this conversation so much and Mychael was so generous in sharing his own experiences, insights and story. We think you’ll love this episode.

When we had this letter, we knew that our friend had to be Lorna Reeves. The three of us became friends as grown-ups, and this is exactly what this episode is about; how to make and let go of friendships.

We discuss all sorts including gossamer threads, witchcraft and the power of letting go.

"How can I become more creative?". That was the key question we had in mind when we created this episode just for you. And who else could we ask to be our friend on this episode but the poet that made Jane cry non-stop at a recent event!

Lovely and talented Emrys Plant is a designer, maker, poet and creative with the most extraordinary story of how his career in fashion came about by accident.

Here we talk about how to get out of our own way, what creativity is, and Emrys's secret weapon for building a house! Listen to the end to hear some great prompts on to how welcome some more creativity into your life.

This week we are talking with our amazing friend Jo Lee Morris of Infinite Pathways all about relationships.

Our listener dilemma today is all about how to revitalise relationships with your partner when it feels like life (work, kids etc.) takes up all the time.

We share our own experiences of how we have made time to prioritise our partners as well as the importance of good communications. And we tackle that challenging question about knowing if you want to grow closer to your partner again or if it is a sign that things have shifted.
