When I Grow Up is a podcast hosted by me, Katie Philo. Each episode, I interview a guest about the trials, tribulations and joys of growing up. Whether you want to be a writer, lawyer, actor, farmer or still have no idea… it’s always reassuring hearing about the twists and turns in other people’s paths. Dialling it back to those childhood dreams and subsequent journeys, we’ll discuss how they arrived at their current destination, what they’ve learned along the way, as well as their remaining hopes and dreams. I’ll also interview a number of career coaches to understand how to find your passion and way in life. I want to show people that it’s OK to be unsure. It’s OK to have moments of failure, indecision – and of course success. After all, we’re all still figuring it out and forever growing up.
I throughly enjoyed this insightful interview . I found the questions well thought out so that a great deal of reflective insights were shared not only regarding Dr Ashead’s career but also her knowledge of the wider ramifications of human development.
I shall be sharing the link with my trainees.
I admire Dr Ashead for daring to be different with her career path; something young doctors have more trouble doing today owing to systemic inflexibilities and debt obligations post qualification.

Inspiring - my new favourite
Love the idea behind this podcast - often feels like people who have 'made it' must somehow be different to all us normal people but listening to Katie talk to all the guests she as on the show is so interesting and inspiring and motivating - I always come away feeling like anything is possible! Also like the variety of people Katie speaks with - not that I'd heard of most of them prior to listening but I think that only highlights what a great interviewer she is - super intelligent and interesting!

When I grow up
Loved listening to Katie interview Jeremy Vine, giving a really informative insight into his personal life. Will definitely be tuning in again to Katie’s podcast as thoroughly enjoyed the easy going manner in which the interview was conducted and the intelligent questions asked but not in a demanding way as some interviews come across.

Relevant and entertaining
Thoroughly researched and professional, yet staying true to the informal nature of a podcast. Katie is a skilful interviewer, drawing out fascinating information through pertinent questioning which demonstrates that she is listening and is every bit as interested as we are. The conversation is entertaining and relevant and seamlessly becomes a story well told. What does it really mean to “grow up”?

Relatable, non-judgemental, smart
When I Grow Up with Katie Philo is a relatable, non-judgemental and smart podcast. Katie's laid back, 'Hey, it's okay!' tone makes me feel like I'm listening to conversations between friends, all admitting we're navigating our way through life with our fair share of struggles and doubts but "hey, it's okay" we're in it together..
