It's been a while and we're kicking off a new series with a recording of a live episode we did for the Power of Women (POW) Thanet festival.

I am joined by three changemakers - all of whom have their own relationship and stories of rest: business owner and experienced coach for weary women leaders, Annette Corbett; award-winning comedian, author (The Breakup Monologues, Is Monogamy Dead?) and podcaster Rosie Wilby; and performer storyteller, kindness campaigner and author (How to Be Hopeful, Little Book of Kindness) Bernadette Russell.

Together we shared our own experience of rest and types of rest, discussed where these stories and beliefs have come from and explored how (and if) we can really rest when there is so much ‘good’ to be done in the world.

The other voice you hear is Ruby Rare who hosted the digital day on behalf of POW Thanet.

If you'd like to watch the video (which is BSL interpreted), you can on our You Tube channel here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0-khpV_I8JU

This week's Do Good & Do Well guest is the fantastic Gemma Woffinden.

Gemma is a passionate theatre maker, producer and facilitator with over 20 years of experience in working with children and young people in a variety of contexts. Gemma is also currently the Speak Up producer at Theatre Royal Wakefield leading work with the National Theatre and the Drama Coach at Opera North.

Her mission is to support young people, early career artists and facilitators by signposting them to range of creative pathways to help demystify the theatre industry and open it up to underrepresented future artists.

Such a pleasure to talk to Gemma. We had a really open and honest conversation that I think will resonate with many of you. We talked about:

• Why Gemma loves drama, theatre and working with young people

• The power of having a teacher who sees you

• Asking for help and not having all the answers

• Remembering the joy in our work

• Looking for approval

• Celebrating the good stuff
