How to Let Go of What You’ve Been Carrying Alone, with Andrea McLean
Real Women's Stories with Lisa QuaitShow Notes
Broadcaster and author Andrea McLean knows what it is like to look as though you have everything, while privately carrying fear, financial pressure and shame.
In this honest conversation, the former Loose Women host shares why telling her own story became the starting point for Between Us - an anonymous project where people can share the things they have never felt able to say out loud.
We talk about why it can feel so hard to open up, the unexpected relief of putting your feelings into words, and how reading someone else’s story can remind you that you are not the only one.
If there is something you have been carrying alone, this episode is a reminder that you do not have to have all the answers before you take the first small step towards letting it go.

DJ Sam Divine had her dream home, her dream car and her career - but no one knew she was hiding addiction. Tomorrow, she tells me about depression, rehab and the moment she decided: “I cannot wake up feeling like this any longer.”
In this coaching episode, I share the deeply personal story of knowing my first marriage was no longer healthy for me, while fearing the consequences of becoming a single mum. I explore why waiting for certainty can keep us stuck, and how trying to avoid a difficult decision can sometimes cost us more in the long run.
