Hi, my name's Wendy, and I'm in charge of passion and sparkle at ALMOST PERFECT, where I inspire women over 45 reclaim their identity. No more people pleasing, overeating and not feeling good enough; and bring back their sexy side. No diets, no shame, no judgement.

This weeks podcast features Dame Emma Thompson, who talks about body image and her new film 'Good Luck to you Leo Grande’.

Unfortunately, it wasn't me that interviewed Dame Emma but an excerpt from Women's Hour on BBC Radio 4...oh well...maybe one day.

I'd love to hear your views.

This week I'm joined by my special guest Stephanie Oram, the best selling author of some rather steamy novels.

You may have hear her talking to Vanessa on This Morning, or if you enjoy reading, you may have noticed her in the bestselling books list. She describes herself as a menopausal northerner who created a laugh out loud, mucky comedy about dating. ...now that's got your attention!
