Fashion Weekly Podcast With Miranda Holder

In this week's episode, which also happens to be the final episode of Season 1, while we all take a little seasonal break - I chat to Jeans Queen Donna Ida, founder of the eponymous luxury denim brand who is credited for making many famous backsides look even perkier and is absolutely a style icon in her own right.

We discuss how in Donna’s opinion the skinny jean will always be in style.

Donna shares her top tips for buying, styling and caring for denim and explains what makes Donna Ida jeans so special, and why buying one pair of her jeans is a far more sustainable choice than purchasing from the high street.

We talk about the comparison trap, how to survive on social media, how to love the body you have, Donna’s covetable wardrobe favourites and her ingenious packing tips.

Finally, you cannot miss Donna’s brilliant suggestion for using the loo in a jumpsuit - if you know, you know!!! You can follow Donna on Instagram @donnaida

Thanks so much to you all for listening, it really has been a wonderful first season, I am so grateful to each and every one of you for your support and I can’t wait to see you all again for Season 2 in the new year!

As always, if you love the pod please leave me a little 5-star review, and a shout out on socials would be so appreciated.

If you are feeling at all low today, I urge you to listen to today's episode with quadruple amputee Alex Lewis who is quite simply the most inspiring human I have ever met. Despite his shocking story and challenging circumstances, Alex is a shining example of living life to the fullest and making the most of what you have.

Aged 34, Alex was suddenly rushed to hospital after suffering from ‘man flu’ which turned out to be something far more sinister and found himself fighting for his life. He ended up surviving but lost all four limbs and his nose and mouth in the process.

Most of us would have spiralled into despair and self-pity after something like this, but the remarkable Alex has taken a truly inspirational approach to what happened to him, and despite his considerable challenges, calls these recent years the best of his life.

Since becoming a quadruple amputee, Alex has found a new zest for life, and his positivity and determination is nothing short of awe-inspiring.

In this chat, Alex shares his story, the many challenges he faces, his incredible achievements in the last seven years and his dreams for the future - as well as his considerable love for all things fashion!

This is such an uplifting and powerful listen!

Today I’m chatting to the wonderful Nicola Lewis, also known as This Girl Can Organise, professional declutterer, recycling expert and good all-round Mary Poppins who is here to motivate us into getting ourselves sorted.

We hear why Nicola decided to create a business tidying up, why she loves her job and hasn’t looked back since she began.

We discuss common challenges in staying on top of a busy family home with some ingenious solutions, the mental health aspect of getting organised, and how to use this time as an opportunity as Nicola says, to bring a little sunshine into your home.

Nicola also shares her wisdom on growing your own business, conquering social media, and then we have a lovely fashion chat and hear all about the sparkly, colourful rainbow that makes up the favourite pieces in her wardrobe.

Today, by popular demand I’m welcoming back the one and only Tim Whild, who is becoming the resident ascension expert on the podcast!

We continue our fascinating conversation as Tim explains his own path to spirituality, and we chat further about just what on earth is going on in the world at the moment.

We discuss:

How he met and started working with the wonderful Diana Cooper.

The great cosmic moment in 2021, and how it was predicted by ancient civilisations.

The process of going from 3d to 5d, the obstacles along the way, what an ego-driven society looks like and his vision of the world when we complete this process in 10 years time.

The process of waking up and remembering who you are and how personal and spiritual growth is nearly always very uncomfortable.

....and so much more! So grab a cuppa or something stronger, sit back, and settle down to enjoy the next instalment of this series.

You can find Tim at https://www.timwhild.com/.

This week, I chat to Celebrity charity campaigner and showbiz legend Nick Ede, who has been popping up on our tellies for the last 15 years, appearing on shows such as Project Catwalk as Head judge alongside Kelly Osbourne and Ben de Lisi, and winning Celebrity Ready Steady Cook against Sinita!

Nick is also an award-winning philanthropist and passionate charity campaigner. He is known for putting the ‘fun’ back into fund-raising by organising high-profile star-studded events such as ‘A night with Nick’, ‘The Fall Ball’ and The Global Gift Galas across the world.

We discuss the glittering world of showbiz and Nick’s extraordinary career as well as the pitfalls of imposter syndrome and mental health which Nick openly suffers from, how discovering he was adopted in later life has affected Nick’s mental health, why the Stroke Association will always be a charity very close to Nick’s heart and all of Nick’s fashion favourites, including a few mistakes he has made along the way!
