In a beautifully warm festive wellbeing special, Riona O'Connor shares how her 80's- inspired Christmas tree made her weep for the nostalgia, talks candidly about her journey with ADHD and the part she plays in 'The Nightmare Before Christmas In Wonderland' alongside Emilia Clarke and Gerard Butler.

Opening up about her brother’s challenges with addiction and how it impacted her from an early age, the comedian, voiceover artist and musicals songstress Riona O'Connor sharing reflects on her very honest, real and ridiculous brand of humour.

A prolific creator, Riona chats to Andrew and Olga about living with depression and ADHD and how sleep is the only real remedy she’s ever found.

A real festive treat! And make sure you watch/listen to the end as she sings us out with Split Ends: The Musical!



NOTE:
Contains some strong language.
Riona’s live musical comedy shows have been a sell-out hit and she will be embarking on her first Live Nation Tour -alongside our very own Olga Thompson - in 2025.

In a very special episode filmed in the Split Ends salon ahead of the Pink Ribbon Foundation’s launch of the book BOLD, Andrew and Olga chat gratitude, pink hair and resilience with Natalie Mizuik.

A mum of three young children from Walthamstow, Natalie is a coach and emotional intelligence specialist. She’s just finished 14 months of treatment for triple negative breast cancer, modelled for BOLD, with her images shared in Piccadilly Circus and Times Square….and in case that wasn’t enough, she’s currently up a mountain in the Himalayas with BBC Dragon Sara Davies for the Coppafeeel trek!

Sharing how she felt determined to flip her diagnosis on its head so much that she could even be 'grateful for having cancer', Natalie speaks about how moments of joy, gratitude and laughter have played a huge part in what's been a soul-destroying year.
