In this lively and unexpected episode of The Shelley Tasker Show, I’m joined by my co-host Maleficca Scott for a wonderfully unplanned wander through the week’s stories and our own lives. We touch on Tommy Robinson being found guilty of harassing journalists, the latest budget talk, support for Ukraine, a heartwarming story of a family dog found alive after a house fire, and fresh calls for the UN to declare climate change a health emergency. With our guest unable to make it, the conversation opens out into something more personal and spontaneous, including plenty of laughs, reflections on media narratives, and a preview of next week’s big question: “Do you love your country?”
We also get into work, wellbeing and what really matters. I share why stepping away from a draining job in elderly care has lifted a weight off my shoulders, while Scott talks about the physical demands and quiet rewards of working in nature. From yoga, gardening and self-sufficiency to money, family, creativity and being present for the people we love, this episode becomes a heartfelt reminder not to lose ourselves in the grind. It’s a chatty, honest show about stress, time, community and trying to hold on to the joy in everyday life.
