BRAIN FOG: Why your mind feels misty

In this special episode brought to you in partnership with tombola & Breast Cancer Now Alexandra Burke joins Katherine Ryan for a very honest conversation about friendship, family, motherhood, grief, love, ageing and why sometimes the best thing you can do is simply talk to someone. She's had an incredible career, is currently playing Chaka Khan in the West End and opens up about the importance of having people around you who will listen, check in and tell you when you need to hear something. She discusses why sometimes getting out for a walk is the perfect way to have start difficult or uncomfortable conversations, how losing her mum helped her find the people she can truly rely on, why she makes a point of checking in with her friends, and how crying with a friend can sometimes be exactly what you need. This breast cancer awareness month, tombola and Breast Cancer Now are reminding us all to check in with the people who matter the most to us, grab your girls, take a walk and ask “what was the last time you checked?”"When did you last check your breasts?"New episodes every Tuesday.Follow us on social:www.instagram.com/whatsmyageagain_podwww.tiktok.com/@whatsmyageagain_pod
