About this episode

Poppy Jamie discusses the importance of trusting intuition and the concept of magic in life, alongside her personal experiences with motherhood and challenges.

Did you listen when your gut told you to turn down that job... and did you seize a better opportunity after? What about when you were tired but something told you to go to the party anyway? Did you meet your partner there? Entrepreneur and author Poppy Jamie says there’s no such thing as a coincidence. In this chat with Fearne, Poppy explains why our collective exhaustion comes down to trusting logic and data over our gut instinct and inner wisdom. They talk about why it’s the inexplicable moments in life that expand our understanding of what’s possible. Poppy has been diagnosed with near-infertility and couldn't see how motherhood was possible; she explains how a true belief in magic, intuition, and the wise women around her have helped her cope. Plus, Poppy has an incredible announcement that was prophesised many years ago... Poppy’s book, The Book of Magical Living, published by New River, is out now.
