Changes Revisited: Davina McCall and Billy Porter
About this episode
<p>Looking back at some stand out episodes, this week we revisit Davina McCall and Billy Porter. </p><br><p>National treasure and TV legend Davina McCall has become a voice for women going through menopause raising awareness and understanding. She has also been through a lot in her life, here talking about being left with her Granny as a child and her subsequent fear of abandonment which she unintentionally came to face as an adult with a hypnotist. She also spoke so openly about her experience and knowledge of the menopause. We revisit some important lessons. </p><br><p>Billy Porter, the incomparable Emmy, Grammy, and Tony Award winning actor, singer, writer and fashion icon literally sings to you about change here. In spite of all his success with Kinky Boots, Pose, a Strange Loop and so much more, Billy has had a difficult life leading up to it with a lot of trauma. He has overcome huge obstacles, prejudices and changes in his life, so we had to revisit this episode and his relationship to change. Billy’s directorial debut Anything's Possible is now out on Amazon Prime. </p><br><p><strong>Content warning: references child abuse and homophobia</strong></p><br><p><strong>Listen to the full episodes here:</strong></p><p><strong>Davina McCall </strong></p><p><a href="https://podfollow.com/changeswithanniemacmanus/episode/d05c49b36647de927e41b9b57dc24c68ae04c73e/view" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://podfollow.com/changeswithanniemacmanus/episode/d05c49b36647de927e41b9b57dc24c68ae04c73e/view</a></p><br><p><strong>Billy Porter</strong></p><p><a href="https://podfollow.com/changeswithanniemacmanus/episode/b0b7620c4ec62f86dc1850cf9c439a21239ec115/view" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://podfollow.com/changeswithanniemacmanus/episode/b0b7620c4ec62f86dc1850cf9c439a21239ec115/view</a></p><p><br></p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
