Hello, hi and welcome. I am your host, Emma Gonna Wardner, and in my nearly 20 year career as a beauty and health writer I have interviewed a lot of people.

Supermodels, entrepreneurs, authors, celebrities and doctors and many of these conversations had a real impact on me

and I'd come away feeling inspired, excited, informed and really empowered.

And at the back of my mind I'd always think, I wish I could just publish the tape so people could

really feel that conversation. Well on this podcast you get to feel the conversation.

I talk with experts, guests and a few friends who I hope will inspire, inform and empower you.

And maybe also challenge you whether you're looking for self-help, self-improvement, beauty advice, health insights, business

know-how or just some good old-fashioned life advice and a bit of a laugh.

It's all here.

achieves it, I'm always very happy to sit down and hear that story. And perhaps

the story we have all heard versions of is one of making it in the movies.

Maybe you're watching Hollywood on Netflix right now or you've heard the many stories about

actors or actresses who are waiting tables in Hollywood one minute, then walking the red carpet

of the movie premiere, they were the star of the next.

They are wonderful stories and always bring a tear to my life.

I don't know why, but they do. It's a really seductive story, right? It's really seductive to hear those

tales and the idea of making it in the movies is one that I thought looked a certain way and obviously there are lots of different types of movies
