This episode of The Tenderness Revolution features British TV and radio personality Janey Lee Grace.

Janey's career kicked off with a stint as a backing and session singer during the ’80s for the likes of George Michael and Kim Wilde before she went on to build a successful career in TV and Radio, appearing on various daytime and prime TV shows and working as a radio presenter for the BBC. But alongside her career as a public figure, Janey also pursued a life-long fascination with all things to do with natural and alternative health - and it’s this fascination that has become her true passion. Janey’s first book, Imperfectly Natural Woman, which was a bestseller, was followed by Happy Healthy Sober: Ditch the booze and take control of your life. Starting off with Janey’s own experience of giving up alcohol, a decision that she says she took simply because she wanted to be as happy and healthy as possible, the book then takes the reader through the thirty-day challenge, which supports them through the initial phase of sobriety.

In this podcast episode, author and poet Katie Colombus speaks to the Tenderness Revolution about the art of truly listening and her volunteer work with the U.K.-based charity, the Samartians.

"Listening helps us be there for others, to support them in tough times, and to strengthen our relationships with partners, family, friends and colleagues. From opening up a conversation with someone who might be struggling, to how to use gentle encouragement to help others share their stories, How to Listen demonstrates the power of listening without judgement and draws on the extensive experience of Samaritans in offering practical advice to apply to your own life," according to her book description. Her book contains useful tips from trained Samaritans on how to talk and address the emotions that are deep down within us.

April Stearns was 35 years old when she was diagnosed with an aggressive form of breast cancer, shortly after having her daughter. Through the traumatic events that shaped her life since cancer, she found escape in storytelling, not just her own story; but being an avenue for other women "too young" to get breast cancer.

Four years later, April launched Wildfire Magazine, a publication specifically written by and for women in similar circumstances. In this episode, April talks honestly and openly about the emotions she experienced after her cancer diagnosis; guilt, fear, grief, and the unpredictability that comes once one enters "cancerland." Cancer has fundamentally changed April's life, and she is not afraid to talk about all the good, the bad, and the ugly that comes with such a life-changing diagnosis.
