This is a global, original podcast.

Paul McKenna's positivity podcast.

Hello, this is Paul McKenna, and welcome to the positivity podcast.

My objective is to interview the most interesting people in the world,

and in the next 30 minutes, get insights and even discover how it is that they do what they do,

what makes them unique and fascinating, their success mindset,

and certainly what keeps them positive.

My guest today is an actress famous for appearing in films such as Local Hero,

TV shows such as Judge John Deed and countless West End shows.

She's also an animal rights campaigner.

Her new film is called Off the Rails.

I'm talking today with Jenny Seagro.

Acting is just being a child.

You put on clothes and you become somebody else for a few hours.

I've had the most marvellous life,

but I have had really awful things happen.

I embrace them because I know, A, that they will pass and good times will come,

just as good times pass. But more importantly, I look for what I can learn out of the experience.

And I've got a darling friend who's now approaching 90. And years ago, he said, Jen, Jen, Jen,

not if this happens, it's when it happens.

So you learn to think positively, to talk positively. And I do believe that thoughts create matter.

Happiness can be walking in the woods with my dogs, looking at them and just feeling that companionship and I'm out with my pals.
