This show is dedicated to empowering people to embrace midlife as their most transformative era yet. Davina’s guests will share stories of growth and rediscovery, letting you in on their own life journeys - many of which have challenged outdated narratives and ideas. Whether it's through expert insights, candid discussions, or real-life inspiration, Begin Again will be a supportive community for everyone to explore the revitalising second act of life. Davina wants everyone to know that midlife is not the start of the end; instead, it's the perfect opportunity and time to Begin Again.
Thank you! LOVED this so much. Yes I do feel warm and gooey inside, straight to the heart, love you both xx

Inspiring
I don’t usually listen to podcasts, but fancied something a bit different whilst out walking by myself. Listened to both episodes over the last few days and I found them truly inspiring and comforting (to know that others are going through exactly the same as me). Just what I need right now, whilst I am trying to find myself again and build some self-confidence back up. Looking forward to future episodes…keep bringing on the girl power…!

Dr Nighat Arif you’ve taught me something
I loved the podcast episode with Dr Nighat Arif and the previous episode with Fearne Cotton. Tonight I listened to episode 2 and I have realised I need to speak to my GP about vaginal atrophy, I thought it was thrush/uti but I now know this is what I need to discuss with my GP. Thank you so much 🙏🏻

The Continual Metamorphsis of Women
Loved both of these episodes,Dr Nighat and Fern Cotton.
The conversation and knowledge of women having to look at themselves and learn to love them selves in all walks of life and stand tall and take up space despite societal suffocating.This conversation is actually real and not just for mid life but girls and women throughout their days ,every day.Thank you, have shared with my daughters x

Raw and real
A really honest and fact driven set of conversations that have been really informative for me. I like that it is empowering for women to listen to and when they are on the show. It feels like a safe space for the vulnerability to shine through in the chats. Looking forward to the next episode ❤️

Never know what is going on behind closed doors
I’m half way through Ferns episode. Omg you go women. You have this. How could people be so cruel to one of the nicest people. Thank you for sharing some of your feelings. I’m sure there are many people that feel exactly the same way as you do. Keep feeling positive. Really good podcast

A little disappointed…
I love Ferne and Davina so was really looking forward to this…
Given the title I had high hopes this might be a great podcast for people to help themselves. Instead I found it repetitive - always going back to panic, bad old days and trauma not about the good bits and the ‘how’. It felt more like therapy - too many how did that make you feel… in fairness it was the first episode so let’s see how it progresses - jury for me is still out!

We all love Davina!
As always brilliant!

Nothing new here
I suppose they had to find something for her to do, seeing as she has no talent whatsoever.

This is going to blow up.
I watched the launch of Begin Again with my mother who’s struggling with anxiety and change at the moment. It was beautiful to see her relate to women her age, talking so openly and raw about such experiences. I think this is a brilliant topic to be discussing, and definitely will be a hit with many people. Thank you!

Thankyou Fearne
Loved the
First of these
Podcasts - similar story PA on motorway and working as crew on Phantom in the 90’s I would have PA’s whilst making the stage machinery open in time for the phantoms entrance and his singing on a west end show-
Just awful whilst experiencing PA’s -and thinking also I lived in my hometown when I didn’t i was in London -
I know exactly what Fearne is taking about - the stripping of your very being, the assault on your nerves and having to rebuild and start again
I somehow found a bookmark by an Australian lady I think it was Claire Weeks ? about ‘ the second fear ‘ and not adding it and like Fearne said submitting - can recall shaking like a leaf whilst ordering food at a cafe and submitting by walking through despite the body falling seemingly apart but it worked and the PA decreased in strength to a gentle fizz and then no more - I’m glad we are both no longer prisoners to this anxiety although we probably have visitations - always thought Fearne was the coolest and still is - and I have listened to her happy place podcasts regularly on a bedtime when the sleep seems a distant goal
All the very best Fearne and what you give to people is immeasurable your positive ripple effect is huge - love and luck 🍀
Thanks Davina can’t wait for the next episode

Excellent podcast & such a great subject for a podcast!
I just happened upon this podcast tonight and I’m so glad that I did. I really enjoyed the discussion and am looking forward to the next one already! As it happens, I just turned 40 and recently quit my job of many years and am currently in the process of figuring out my next steps. It’s so great to have somewhere to go to to hear positive stories of how others have made a pivot in their lives and made changes they needed. More please!! Xx

Honest emotions
I really loved this connect. So nice to hear two women talking about struggles but also bigging each other up. Women don’t do this enough for each other. Can’t wait for more episodes.
