Summary
The only way to describe our guest on this episode and the journey that life has taken her on, is a Phoenix rising from the ashes. Syreeta Challinger and her husband Rob are the duo behind MOSS: Moments of Sense of Style which is a business that has the most incredible story. The pair met in Hong Kong, and whilst on holiday in 2014 in Australia Rob suffered a brain haemorrhage and stroke. In their words 'The brand was born from a desire to create light out of the darkness; an innovative and conceptual approach to dealing with life changing events'. They produce the most beautiful products, and each product is integral to their story, lovingly and proudly made in England. We discuss starting again, learning to slow down and soul searching when it comes to identity and your purpose in life. This episode is a really heavy one, in the best way possible, thank you Syreeta for being so open and vulnerable in sharing your story. On the flip side we really dedicate too much time to discussing Christmas adverts, gold cutlery and eBay wins!

| 0:31.5 | I'm feeling a bit sluggish, I think, is the only way I could describe it. |
| 0:36.5 | I just want to hibernate, like the bear on the old John Lewis advert. Do you reckon it's because December is on the horizon? I don't know. I think I was just thinking I've been so busy that I have a bit of a quiet period. I mean, I have things to do, but because I'm not, you know, when you, that phrase, you know, if you want something done, ask a busy person. |
| 0:57.0 | Oh, I like that. |
| 1:28.0 | Yeah. So when I was busy, it was fine. And now that I can kind of see a few gaps here and there, I'm like, well, maybe I could just sit down for an extra half an hour. I know. I think that's the thing. I had a mad couple of weeks that I just couldn't, you know, see that I was trying to think. I nearly invented a phrase then and I was like, go on, go on, what was it? Because I always get mine jumbled up. This would be a real Charlotte phrase. I nearly couldn't see the smoke through the water. Oh, wow. Yeah, that's such a Charlotte phrase. In fact, I'm surprised I've never actually said that. |
| 1:32.6 | I think it's just, it's a combination of all of my favorite phrases. |
| 1:36.5 | My feet hadn't touched the ground is what I probably should have said. |

| 1:48.1 | it's really strange but how have you what have you been up to well well what have I been up to |
