And sending love and luck to all the children who are soon to be Year 7s. And to all the parents and carers navigating it all with them. You've got this!

We're all about ICONS this week and what BEING ICONIC actually means. Susie makes a bid to be iconic with a new look - see the photos on Insta, and watch us on YouTube if you'd like to see! And we have a good old rummage around our icon lists. Who would be on yours?! Our special guest is STARLING — pop singer, creative coach and one of the most genuinely empowering people we’ve ever had the pleasure of talking to. STARLING was told she couldn’t sing. She’s now a pop star, touring the world and doing it entirely on her own terms. As a coach, she works with creatives to help them step into their power, silence their inner critic and back themselves the way she learned to back herself — through fire, determination and an unshakeable belief that she was meant to be here. In our conversation we talk about what it means to truly empower yourself, how to alchemise fear into fuel, overcoming low self esteem, and how to let people fall in love with you — and your work — by showing up as exactly who you are. STARLING is the definition of someone who refused to be told no. And she has everything it takes to be truly iconic! Enjoy the conversation and let us know how it inspires you. And check out STARLING on Instagram - @starlingsworld and her website which features videos of her brilliant songs. With two brand new, on brand sketches, plenty of surprises and a little nugget you'll have to listen to the very end to hear, it's an episode we're proud of. The youth may even describe it as 'iconic' (we can't - Susie's daughter will call us 'cringe'!!!) Limited Time Only – a pick-me-up in podcast form.

Does speaking in an accent other than your own make you feel good? We say yes! And why do we find our own accents so dull? Susie realises that her natural BBC presenter voice has actually proved useless and she is far more successful speaking like Tracy Horrobin off of Radio 4's The Archers. And when she's having radio intercourse with famous actors. Listen to find out who... Esther's on the electrolytes again so brace yourselves! And enjoy this week's LTO Brief! Don't forget to book your ticket for our LIVE SHOW! Thursday 16th July at The Hearth in London. Tickets are of course, limited! And available here: LTO Live!

Before we tell you about this week's show, we'd love you to check your diary... Are you free on Thursday 16th July for LTO Live in London?! For an evening of chat, comedy sketches, LTO themed cocktails, and a conversation with writer, actor and member of the Red School, Stephanie Farrell Moore? You are?! Fabulous! Tickets available here: https://www.tickettailor.com/events/limitedtimeonly/2192881 Now for this week's extravaganza! These shownotes are being written at 12.05am on the day this ep gets released. It's not like they could have been written two weeks ago or anything. Well, actually, they couldn't. There's no dopamine involved in being that organised. As this episode is all about ADHD and how it shows up, this whole scenario is brilliantly apt. So we're taking the sleep-deprivation involved in this high-level procrastination as a win. Our guest this week is the brilliant, Kate Moryoussef, host of the award-winning ADHD Women’s Wellbeing Podcast . Kate is an ADHD lifestyle and wellbeing coach and EFT practitioner who helps overwhelmed but unfulfilled women reconnect with their clarity, creativity, calm, and potential. She was herself diagnosed with ADHD later in life, and that experience now shapes the heart of her work. On her podcast, she speaks with global experts, thought leaders, and authors, sharing practical tools and honest conversations to support health, wellbeing, and balance for ADHD women. She’s also the author of The ADHD Women’s Wellbeing Toolkit . We talk to Kate about the stigma around getting diagnosed later in life, and how that ripples into family life and work. We dive into how she protects her own time and boundaries, coping with neurodivergence day to day, and the role of self-compassion in avoiding burnout. We also explore why self-care and finding balance matter so much, not just for her clients, but for her too. We hope you enjoy listening to our conversation with Kate as much as we enjoyed chatting to her! And we hope to see you at the show on 16th July! Limited Time Only – a pick-me-up in podcast form.

I've got the power! (if you're a child of the 90s we bet you're now singing the song by Snap!) This episode is all about empowerment. What being empowered feels like and what can help to achieve it. Our guest is Tigz Rice - empowerment photographer, speaker, educator, and podcaster. Tigz spent her childhood feeling that she was different to the other children in her year, and it wasn’t until she was an adult that she was diagnosed as neurodivergent. That experience of feeling unseen shaped everything — leading her into the world of burlesque, and ultimately into a career helping others feel empowered and celebrated in front of the camera. We discuss all this plus the her award-winning book Strip/Tease which showcases her photography work within the burlesque community; how she has gained a global following through her viral Boudoir Posing Series; and her 2025 TEDx Talk challenging society’s definitions of beauty and body image. It's essential viewing! Tigz is inspiring, knowledgable and fun. The perfect guest! And we're excited for you to hear our conversation with her. Enjoy!

Hallo! Thank you for listening! Have you followed the podcast yet on your podcast app? It's a little thing that makes a huge difference to us. Thank you! We love you. In this, our eleventh episode of LTO Brief, Esther poses the question, 'This or That?' to Susie. Or is it 'Yes or no?'. You decide. And then Susie will decide this or that. Or yes or no. Goodness, it's confusing. But fun. And you'll learn about Himalayan Salt Candles which is a surprise. And about the correct order of condiment on your scone. No arguments. Her Majesty Dawn French has the final say. We hope you enjoy this week's mini episode. See you next week for our next longer form ep.

‘When we get that feeling, we want self-healing’ or something like that. This week we discuss how we look after ourselves. Or at least, how we try to. It doesn't always go to plan. But one thing's for sure, Susie can nap absolutely anywhere. Today’s guest is Amy A. O’Day, founder of The Reconnected Self and creator of a method she calls Compassionate Self-Healing. After spending decades living with chronic illness, multiple diagnoses, ongoing fatigue, autoimmune conditions, hormonal issues, sensitivities, and a long list of health challenges, Amy began exploring the connection between emotional patterns, subconscious beliefs, and physical wellbeing. Through that work, she says she was able to restore her own health and went on to develop her approach to emotional healing. Amy’s work looks at the idea that experiences from the past, unresolved emotions, and deeply held beliefs can shape the way we feel physically and emotionally in the present—showing up as stress, anxiety, burnout, chronic symptoms, and a whole host of other issues. We talk to Amy about her journey through illness and recovery, the origins of The Reconnected Self, the relationship between mind and body, and how our internal world can influence the way we experience health. Check out her website for more info and access to two free courses she offers as a starting point.

Season Six, Episode One Back once again for the renegade master LTO is back in the house and in your ears!!! And today, we’re regressing - back to our childhood TV shows. From Willo the Wisp to Dogtanian to Byker Grove we’ve chat about some of our top shows form the 80’s and 90’s and what a bad boy in leather jacket did for us. Ooo errr missus! And of course there are sketches…but these sketches…well, just you wait…. Our guest for the episode is Harriet Kershaw , one of the UK’s leading voice actors. Harriet is a highly versatile performer working across animation, audiobooks, narration, video games, commercials, and audio drama. She is known for her work on major titles including Baldur’s Gate 3 and Assassin’s Creed , as well as beloved franchises like Fireman Sam and Thomas & Friends . She is also currently lending her voice to the audiobook world of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix for Audible . Renowned for her range and character work—from creatures and motion capture performances to richly layered narration—Harriet brings a unique creative depth to every role she takes on. We talk to Harriet about her journey from dreaming of running a National Trust gift shop as a child, to exploring burlesque, to becoming one of the country’s premier voice artists. We also dive into creativity, the level of input she has in shaping her characters, and her experience working in motion capture.

Season 5, Episode 8 is a dramatic one! For exciting news and to suggest topics for us to chat about: SIGN UP HERE! Now you've done that, we can carry on. Name that soap theme tune...dum-tee-dum-tee-dum-tee-dum! This week's guest LUCY SPEED plays talented farm manager, Stella Pryor in BBC Radio 4's THE ARCHERS - the world's longest running (and best - not biased at all here 😉) soap. Lucy's career spans theatre, television, film and radio, and began when she was just a child. Lucy has played a multitude of roles across so many genres including DS Stevie Moss in The Bill and Bec Baker—Peter Kay’s wife—in his BBC sitcom Cradle to the Grave as well as countless other fantastic characters in a career that demonstrates her great versatility. She brings a blend of warmth, wit, and emotional intelligence to every role she plays, and—as you’ll hear—she’s deeply thoughtful about the human experience behind the craft. In this conversation, Lucy opens up about what it was like working with the legendary Julie Walters, how being an empath has shaped her both personally and professionally, and her hopes for leaving a legacy that changes the way we understand and respond to bullying in everyday life. This ep also features two soap-related sketches for your entertainment, and a soapy chat which includes what might be the next iconic characters to prop up the bar in The Bull in Ambridge!

Hallo! Before we begin, please FOLLOW Limited Time Only on your chosen podcast app - it's a little thing that makes a huge difference to us. Thank you! We love you. Esther loves lounging with a broadsheet on the weekend. Susie can't remember the last time she read a newspaper that wasn't left by someone else on the tube. So to make Susie feel better about her lack of lounging and perusal of long-form articles, Esther asks her 10 questions Stephanie Beacham was asked in one of said broadsheets. Let no one say we are not highbrow. You can play along - let us know your answers! Hope you enjoy this week's mini episode.

SIGN UP HERE! (You know she'll never stop, right?!) Joyful episode 7 is a celebration of the theatre. Our guest is LIZ WHITE , one of the UK’s most compelling and versatile actresses, currently starring in the Olivier award-winning National Theatre production of DEAR ENGLAND . Liz rose to prominence in the iconic BBC drama Life on Mars, and has since captivated audiences with her roles in Ackley Bridge, The Woman in Black, Our Zoo, Call the Midwife, and Unforgotten—among many others. A seasoned performer across television, film, and theatre, Liz brings emotional intelligence and authenticity to every role. We talk to Liz about her love of independent film, her enduring passion for the work, and how having the courage to create her own opportunities early on proved to be a transformative moment in her career. It's a treat of a conversation and we're thrilled she could join us before heading to the National Theatre for a performance of Dear England.

Hallo! Before we begin, please FOLLOW Limited Time Only on your chosen podcast app - it's a little thing that makes a huge difference to us. Thank you! We love you. This week's Brief episode is a little different - rather than chatting about a topic suggested by a lovely listener, we're celebrating our success at the International Women's Podcast Awards (still can't quite believe it!) and telling you all about what happened when we won an IPWA in the category of Comedy. Huge thank you to the IWPA team and to BBC Sounds for supporting our category. Also to the team at Apple Podcasts. You'll hear some audio from the night - recorded inside the iconic Radio Theatre at BBC Broadcasting House. So bear with if that bit is a little fuzzier than our usual chat - it was recorded on a phone and it's only short (and a lot of fun!) Hope you enjoy this week's mini episode.

You'll have seen her being brilliant in so many TV shows such as Life on Mars, Ackley Bridge, and Call the Midwife to name but a few, and films including The Woman in Black, and Wild Bill. It's a great conversation - we can't wait for you to hear it!

With a background in public speaking, performance, and education, she brings a unique blend of creativity, candour, and care to her work. Through her workshops, keynotes, and consultancy, Rebbecca helps people explore unconscious bias, challenge assumptions, and develop the tools needed to create truly inclusive environments. She is deeply passionate about the power of words, the importance of visibility, and the need for safe spaces where people can be honest, heard, and respected. We talk to Rebbecca about the significance of cultural awareness, how to approach challenging conversations with empathy, why language matters more than we think, and how we can each play a role in creating a more equitable world. It's a chat that covers a lot of ground, and left both of us inspired and with a renewed energy to learn. We're sure Rebbecca will have the same effect on you. Enjoy! Added to all that, there are 2 sketches and a chat about chatting - tricky chatting. Get stuck in and let us know how you get on! Limited Time Only – a pick-me-up in podcast form.
