Season Two: Episode 4 - Time for...Ripping It Up and Starting Again

We're already half way through Season 2 - where does the time go?! And how did we get here? This week, Susie & Esther consider these existential questions along with the prospect of ripping everything up and starting again. Attractive? Terrifying? Both? Rather like Susie & Esther themselves. And the other 7.7 billion people on the planet. Cor blimey.

The gals discuss the moments in their lives when they have taken a leap and started afresh; procrastination and why it may be fear of success not failure that's stopping you; and the true meaning of a deadline (you won't look at the word in the same way again...).

Their fabulous guest this week is Kelly Brown who really has ripped it up and started again. In 2019, Kelly left her job as Head of the Drama Department in a secondary school in Birmingham and relocated with her husband, chef Nigel Brown, and their two daughters to the beautiful Carlyon Bay, St Austell, Cornwall. Here they opened their restaurant, Edie's Kitchen. They opened just before the first lockdown and had to think fast and creatively in order to survive. And survive they did, and truly thrive. Edie's Kitchen is a Tripadvisor Traveller's Choice which means it is in the top 10% of restaurants reviewed on Tripadviser worldwide - that is remarkable. Kelly spoke to Esther & Susie about the challenges of running a restaurant (in and out of lockdown); what it's like to relocate your teenage daughter to a small town 250 miles away from her mates in her GCSE year; and about her own journey from a humble waitress to owning a restaurant by the sea, that is loved by tourists and locals alike. Kelly is so passionate about what she does, it's a joy to hear her story. And you'll want to book a table at Edie's Kitchen immediately...

With sketches, a YouBash, an unusual quiz (as if it could be anything else) and a round-up of the brilliant audience responses to the question of the week on social media, episode 4 is sounding ripper, mate!
