This week we’re joined by Stephanie Waring, best known as Cindy Cunningham from Hollyoaks.

We start off where you’d expect with a bit of Hollyoaks chat and Rich questioning his memory of the show: Cindy really did marry Tony twice!

From there it turns into a much deeper conversation as Steph talks about taking the gamble at 17 to go all in on acting, and what it’s actually been like building a career in that world over time.

She opens up about eating disorders, body confidence and how those things don’t just disappear, they follow you through life.

There’s some really relatable stuff in here from our side as well around mental health, confidence, and how easy it is to get stuck in your own head.

We also talk about what happens when life throws you curveballs and how we adapt when things don’t go to plan.

Steph also shares more in her book Breaking the Script, which we’ve both read and thoroughly recommend.
