Two Women Chatting

Hello, and welcome back to another exciting season of Two Women Chatting with me, Michelle Ford. 

I’ll be diving deep into the heart of midlife topics that truly matter. Whether you're breezing through your early 40s or hitting those fabulous 50s, this season is packed full of engaging discussions that will empower, uplift, inspire, and entertain.

Join me as I chat with an amazing array of guests—think celebrities, experts, actors, authors, campaigners, and yes, even a couple of distinguished Dames! I've got such an incredible lineup this season that you won't want to miss a single episode.

I’ll be covering a variety of captivating topics. Have you ever wondered about the hidden dangers of romance scams? I’m chatting to Becky Holmes, author of ‘Keanu Reeves is NOT in love with you. We’ll be chatting about how to spot the scams and the red flags. Ever been curious about what it’s like to grow up Amish? I’ll sit down with someone who’s lived that experience and discuss the contrasts of faith, community, and identity.

I’ll also be delving into the critical topic of bone health—an area that gains importance as we age— and I’ll be kicking off the new season with Dame Stella Rimington, the Queen of Spies herself, - plus I’ve got a fabulous guest who will be a special guest for my 100th episode! Any guesses on who it might be? She’s an absolutely the ‘gold-standard’ in her field!

And for those looking to enhance their confidence, we’ll explore the intriguing world of colour psychology with Anita Feron Clark—discover how the colours we wear can profoundly impact our mood and self-esteem.

Throughout the season, I’ll also be shining a light on women who truly support women. From community builders to inspiring leaders, we’ll celebrate the shared strength and resilience we find in each other when we walk the walk, not just talk the talk.
