Suzanne Shaw shot to instant fame in 2001 as part of the winning pop group ‘Hearsay’ on the very first reality show ‘Popstars’ in the UK. What followed was a whirlwind career. The group’s debut single was the fastest selling non-charitable record in UK chart history, selling over 1.3 million copies. They went on to have 2 number one records and 4 top 10 hits. They had their own Saturday night TV show Hear’say It’s Saturday, performed at the Royal Variety Show with Elton John, and headlined their own hit UK tour. When they split in 2003, Suzanne carved a successful career in musical theatre, plays and television.

At the start of 2020, Suzanne spoke openly about her battle with mental health and that by making some big lifestyle changes it helped reduce her depression and anxiety.

Such an in depth conversation this week with Suzanne, as Founder Glenn Marsden discusses not only a career that has seen some incredible highlights but also what comes with being thrust into stardom at such heights and so quickly. We hear about the effects it can have on your mental wellbeing and how Suzanne navigated through this period, on one hand enjoying her passion of performing on stage but on the other finding herself having to shut half of herself off due to seeing weekly articles on her private life rather than what she was there to do.

We also hear all about her latest project the 'Shaw Happy Plan' in which from such an overwhelming response from her followers and the media with Suzanne documenting her own journey, she developed a movement through her social platform to help so many others worldwide with lifestyle habits and changes.

This episode we chat with Britian’s very own singer-songwriter Jamelia. Jamelia is not only an incredible advocate for people speaking up but somebody who has sold millions of albums and scored number one’s all over the world. She has won multiple awards including 4 Mobo’s a Q award and an Ivor Novello.

She’s appeared on programmes on every major UK TV channel and hit the screens on countless movies both in front and her music as soundtracks and tv screens. Such a powerful episode as we delve into getting to know the person behind the public persona that people think they know and go behind the scenes to learn what it is like to feel like you are living almost a dual life at the same time and what comes with that.

We learn about Jamelia's upbringing to then being thrust into the limelight after signing her first record deal at 15 and what comes with navigating through an industry when all eyes are on you and we hear about a shift into the TV industry later on through her career where she began to see a negative side of an experience in the entertainment industry to where she first experienced struggles with her own mental health after having the realisation that she seemed to be loved when entertaining through music but not when on one of Britains biggest daytime talk shows on a panel with an opinion.

Such a powerful, raw and open conversation as we continue to find out how Jamelia worked through that period of time and healed those emotional struggles and where she is now.

‘I think being Imperfectly Perfect is beautiful. Allowing everyone around you to be honest. We are all weird. We are all a bit quirky and that’s beautiful. Let’s celebrate that. Go out into the world and be exactly who you are. Dr Seuss said; ‘Those who matter, don’t mind and those who mind, don’t matter’and that’s exactly how I want my children and myself. The best thing we can do now is to pass these messages or these lessons on to our children and from the jump, you be exactly who you are. Are you honest? Are you allowing yourself to be honest? - Jamelia

Michelle Christine Heaton is an English pop singer, actress and television personality.

She was a member of the British Pop Group Liberty X that went on to gain International Recognition.

She has had a widely documented battle with her health since her time in the band, having been diagnosed with the mutated BRCA2 gene in 2012.

The star discovered she had an 80 per cent chance of developing breast cancer and 30 per cent chance of developing ovarian cancer, so opted to have a double mastectomy and breast reconstructive surgery.

In 2015 she underwent a complete hysterectomy and oophorectomy to reduce her risk of developing ovarian cancer.

She bravely revealed her surgery scars for the first time during an appearance on the British day time talk show ‘Loose Women’ and has spoken poignantly of her thanks for the NHS heroes who saved her life.
