That Gaby Roslin Podcast: Reasons To Be Joyful

Dawn O'Porter drops by for a chat about all things joy - and to tell us about her new book 'Honeybee'

As well as being an author, Dawn is also presenter and absolute fashion icon. She is on a mission to help people choose love and bring joy and laughter to their everyday lives whilst never shying away from a hot topic.

Previous books include bestselling novels The Cows, So Lucky, Cat Lady and her non-fiction title Life in Pieces.

Dawn started out in TV production, quickly landing in front of the camera, making numerous documentaries that included immersive investigations of Polygamy, Size Zero, Childbirth, Free Love, Breast Cancer, and the movie Dirty Dancing. Further TV work included This Old Thing, a prime-time Channel 4 show celebrating the wonders of vintage clothing before Dawn traded the screen to become a full-time writer.

Gaby is desperate for her to do more TV, as you will hear, but Dawn is not chomping at the bit to get back in front of the camera any time soon. She talks about moving back to the UK from living in LA, her charity work, how being reflective in mid life is good - and why we should all find joy in the small things.

They talk about losing their mothers at early ages, Flackstock (which has become a huge success) and why dips are just the best food ever.
