NOTE:
Contains some strong language.
Riona’s live musical comedy shows have been a sell-out hit and she will be embarking on her first Live Nation Tour -alongside our very own Olga Thompson - in 2025.

In a very special episode filmed in the Split Ends salon ahead of the Pink Ribbon Foundation’s launch of the book BOLD, Andrew and Olga chat gratitude, pink hair and resilience with Natalie Mizuik.

A mum of three young children from Walthamstow, Natalie is a coach and emotional intelligence specialist. She’s just finished 14 months of treatment for triple negative breast cancer, modelled for BOLD, with her images shared in Piccadilly Circus and Times Square….and in case that wasn’t enough, she’s currently up a mountain in the Himalayas with BBC Dragon Sara Davies for the Coppafeeel trek!

Sharing how she felt determined to flip her diagnosis on its head so much that she could even be 'grateful for having cancer', Natalie speaks about how moments of joy, gratitude and laughter have played a huge part in what's been a soul-destroying year.
