This week Kaye and Karen are joined by Donna Ashworth. Bestselling poet, wellbeing advocate, and author of Loss: The New Collection.

Donna talks about the family diagnosis that rewired everything. Dropping the perfectionism. Saying what she actually thinks. Building a life that's calmer and more honest, even when it's messy.

They get into grief beyond bereavement. Outgrowing identities, letting go of roles that no longer fit, and why walking away from something takes more courage than anyone tells you.

A conversation about permission, getting older, and why the best bit might still be ahead.

Donna's new book Loss: The New Collection is available now in hardcover, featuring nearly 150 poems including previously unpublished work.
