For many of us of a certain age, especially those in the UK, Emma Forbes is the smiling face of Saturday Morning TV - from Going Live with Philip Schofield and Sarah Green (where she got the job as the resident cook after bombarding the Editor for a full year with letters begging to be on the show), to co-hosting Live and Kicking with Andi Peters, who went on to become a lifelong friend.

In our chat today Emma talks about what it was like to step back from TV to have her first child, only to have the doors close behind her. About the post-natal depression she experienced and tried to deal with her usual 'stiff upper lip', 'just keep going' kind of attitude that so many of us can relate to.

We talk about her decision to relocate to America to be closer to her children who are going to university there, and the reality of life in lockdown New York. We also put a few myths to bed - so stand by for some home truths about Peppa Pig, lads mag FHM and never making the shortlist for Rear of The Year!

This Girl Is On Fire

Welcome to the This Girl Is On Fire podcast, where I bring you conversations with women who have one thing in common - they are on fire! You will hear how they got to where they are in life, how thinking differently about their circumstances helped them - whether that was to overcome hardship, discover their calling or achieve success. You will also hear what their greatest life lesson has been, what their definition of living is and how they feel when they are truly thriving. These women all know exactly what they need to do to Get Brave, Get Confident and Get Going!Who am I: For over two decades I worked as a national Daytime Television broadcaster in the UK. Then, in 2020, in the middle of a global pandemic, I decided to jump… I quit my job as the longest serving host of a multi-award-winning TV show to focus on doing what I love - helping women around the world Think Differently about themselves, their circumstances and the challenges that life throws at each and every one of us. I’m the Sunday Times Best Selling author and co-founder of This Girl Is On Fire, and the creator of life-changing personal development courses, motivational talks and inspirational interviews.If you heard something today and it made you think of a friend or someone you love - click like, and pass it on! It all really helps us to help women everywhere like you to get brave, get confident and get going. Click subscribe to hear more great episodes, just like this one.
