This episode kicks of a special series of The Conversation that I did during my creative residency at The Hotel Chelsea in NYC.It was a trip filled with interviews and portraits as well as focused writing time, which I desperately needed. Over the next few weeks I’ll be sharing the fruits of that incredible stay with you. Starting with actress, writer and producer Billie Piper who I had not seen in 20 years !

We reminisced about our shared experiences and beginnings in the UK, starting our professional careers as teenagers and the intense trials and tribulations that went along with that. We also discussed the challenges and rewards of raising children today, from navigating different parenting styles to the complexities of co-parenting.

Billie talked about her latest project, the Netflix movie Scoop, inspired by Prince Andrew's infamous interview. You can listen to the episode below or watch the video above but either way, please let me know your thoughts on this episode in the comments below.
Keep having meaningful conversations….
Love,
