  • What Vogue Williams Learned from Loss, Love and Letting Go

    What Vogue Williams Learned from Loss, Love and Letting Go
    May 19 2025
    MY GUEST THIS WEEK: VOGUE WILLIAMS This week, I’m joined by podcast royalty Vogue Williams—broadcaster, writer, and co-host of My Therapist Ghosted Me—whose hilarious new memoir Big Mouth is packed with outrageous stories, unflinching honesty, and the kind of emotional truth that sneaks up on you. We talk about growing up in 90s Ireland, why Irish funerals are unexpectedly joyful, and how Vogue’s chaotic first wedding helped her realise what she really wanted in a partner. She opens up about the long illness and death of her beloved father, the anxiety that followed, and how writing became the only thing that quieted her mind. Vogue also shares what it’s like navigating fame, gossip, and mum-life while trying to stay grounded—and why she’ll always keep beta blockers in the bathroom cupboard, just in case. If you’ve ever struggled with grief, anxiety, or just trying to hold everything together while making people laugh, Vogue’s mix of humour and honesty will speak to you.
