Summary

This week we're joined by actress model and global star Amy Jackson Westwick for a candid, funny and refreshingly honest conversation. Amy opens up about her unconventional rise to fame - from growing up in Liverpool to being scouted at just 15 and thrown headfirst into the world of Indian cinema. She shares what it was really like building a career in Bollywood, navigating cultural differences, and dealing with imposter syndrome while learning everything on the job. The conversation dives into the realities behind the glamour, including the pressures of the industry, finding confidence (even when you’re faking it), and the challenges of maintaining relationships while living a life constantly on the move. Amy also gets real about motherhood - from losing independence to finding a new sense of purpose - and how becoming a mum reshaped her outlook on risk, work and identity. She spills on her relationship with Gossip Girl Royalty Ed Westwick - from red flags and jealousy to what it’s actually like being married to one of TV’s most iconic bad boys. Plus… she reveals the one thing she’s never told him..! It's a chaotic, honest and hilarious conversation about growing up, starting over, and figuring it out as you go.
