Rachel Stevens: Self-worth, worrying, an...

Fearne Cotton
About this episode

Do you have the confidence to speak up and say “no”? Rachel Stevens has learnt it’s ok to stand up for yourself and have a voice.

 

In this chat with Fearne – live from the Happy Place Festival – Rachel talks about how emotions are messy, and they’re better spoken out loud imperfectly than not at all.

 

They also chat about the early years of S Club 7; the band gave Rachel safety and structure when she needed to escape from a difficult family life. But over time it wore down her autonomy and independence; she explains how she found her voice so that you can too.

 

Plus, are you a worrier? Fearne and Rachel both share what they’re anxious about every single day.

 

Rachel’s book, Finding My Voice, is out now.
