  • Making a Difference with Jo Tutchener-Sharp

    Making a Difference with Jo Tutchener-Sharp
    Jun 28 2024
    Meet Jo Tutchener, who founded her amazing company Scamp and Dude after a life-changing brain haemorrhage made her completely reassess her life. She realised that if she were to die, she hadn’t done enough to help people and vowed that if she got better, she’d do something to make a difference. Terrified of leaving her young sons when she went into brain surgery, the idea of the Superhero Sleep Buddies was born. This was quickly followed by a clothing line for kids, all with the superpower button embroidered on the sleeve so kids could press it to feel better when they were scared or had to be away. Scamp and Dude launched into Liberty along with women’s sweatshirts also with the embroidered bolt. They were so popular they sold out instantly. Now Jo’s women’s collection has sky-rocketed and she’s expanded into stores around the country. But more than just a clothing brand, Scamp and Dude has become a community with women flocking to the stores and the Scamp and Dooders Facebook page. Jo has also launched the superpower-infused printed scarfs and for every one sold, one is gifted to a woman going through chemotherapy. So far Jo has sent out over 45,000. Thoughtful and passionate about her business and family, Jo shows us her most prized possession - a small pot of solid perfume from her Mum, as well as a set of lucky charms that she was gifted when she went in for her surgery. Jo says she’s a believer in the power of positivity and that it’s never too late to make a change.

  • Staying Underfeated With Bibi Lynch

    Staying Underfeated With Bibi Lynch
    Jun 21 2024
    This week, meet journalist and broadcaster, Bibi Lynch. Starting out as a performer and cabaret star, Bibi has never taken a conventional route. Realising she was better at writing than singing, she jostled herself into journalism, working in magazines, then on into TV, followed by a prolific career broadcasting and now podcasting. She’s fearlessly used her platform to shine a light on important subjects as hidden homelessness, grief, dating and being childless with humour and honesty. Now at 58, she says she’s at a stage where she’s bringing all of the strands of her career together, doing lots of live events, writing a book and working on several more podcasts. Bibi shows us her special diamond ring from her Dad, her vintage A-Z and a toy monkey that she says she cuddles all night. Find out more at bibilynch.com and @bibilynch on Insta and Twitter.

  • Enjoy The Process With Eve Chase

    Enjoy The Process With Eve Chase
    Jun 7 2024
    It’s all about books this week, as Josie receives the proof copies of her new novel, Miss Beeton’s Murder Agency and presents one to Alice. We have a special guest, author Eve Chase, who has been hailed as the modern Daphne Du Maurier. Her gripping new book, The Midnight Hour is set between Notting Hill in 1998, (when the movie was being filmed) and the present day when a devastating family secret is in danger of being revealed. Eve talks candidly about her route to being an Internationally best-selling, prize-winning author and reveals some wisdom about her writing process and how she makes her books so layered. Happily married, Eve tells us the stories behind the beautiful rings, the filigree gold sun pendant her husband bought her, and the antique art deco diamanté bracelet she wore on her wedding day. Eve says that being a writer isn’t lonely as she has so many characters in her head, but it is insular. Which is why she cherishes her author friends and shows us the gold birdcage necklace, gifted from her friend Sarah Vaughan. The Midnight Hour is out in hardback on June 27th. Find Eve Chase on Instagram and Facebook @evepollychase.

    What goes around comes around with Tania Webb
    May 31 2024

    We’re foodies this week with the co-founder of Bill’s restaurant, Tania Webb. With decades of experience in the restaurant business, she’s lived and worked worldwide, being responsible for creating some amazing restaurant concepts. But back in her home town of Lewes, she spotted the opportunity when her brother-in-law Bill had a veg shop and fate, the big Lewes flood, conspired to make them set up a restaurant together. The rest is history, with Bill’s becoming a High Street favourite nationwide. In recent years Tania has set up another Brighton institution, Marmalade with which she's carried on her love of nourishing, fresh and healthy home-cooked food. Tania shows us the Rolex she bought for herself when she made it in Hong Kong and the sparkly ring she's never taken off which connects her to her Mum. Down to earth and inspiring, Tania is proof that following your passion and hard work gets results.
