In this episode of Midpoint, Gabby sits down with Tabitha to talk about building a business from scratch, reinventing yourself, and what it actually takes to juggle entrepreneurship with creativity. This is a r conversation about ambition, taking risks and backing yourself at every stage of life.

Mark Foster is one of Britain's most decorated swimmers — a six-time World Champion and one of the most recognisable faces in British sport over the past three decades.

But this conversation goes well beyond his professional career and achievements. In this episode of Midpoint, Gabby sits down with Mark for an honest and open discussion about his career, his life and his decision to come out publicly. Mark talks with real honesty about what that process was like, what it meant to him personally, and why he chose to share it.

His new book, My Double Life, tells the story of his pursuit of sporting excellence alongside the very personal journey of finding a way to live as honestly as possible — and it is out now.

Menopause is something most women know is coming — but for many it still arrives as a shock. Hot flushes, night sweats, brain fog, anxiety, exhaustion — the symptoms are so common they have almost become expected.

But Katie Brindle, one of the UK's leading Chinese medicine practitioners and founder of The Hayo'u Method, has a very different take. After more than twenty years in clinic she doesn't believe women are failing at menopause — she believes modern life is failing women.

In Chinese medicine, menopause is known as the Second Spring — not a decline but a transition into a new chapter marked by wisdom, confidence and renewed purpose. In this episode of Midpoint, Gabby talks to Katie about what that reframe can mean in practice, and how ancient wisdom might offer something that modern medicine hasn't always managed to.

Frida Redknapp grew up in a small town in Sweden and left at fifteen to model in Paris. Since then she has built a very different kind of life — mother of five, former model and now founder of food brand Frood, which launched last month.

In this episode Gabby talks to Frida about what the modelling world was really like, how her relationship with food and her body has changed over the years, and what eventually led her to start her own business. Frood came out of a late night idea and a conversation at a school gate, and is designed to make genuinely healthy eating quicker and easier for busy families - something most of us would welcome!

In this episode of Midpoint, Gabby sits down fellow broadcaster Sophie Raworth. Sophie is one of Britain's most recognisable faces on the BBC news for over thirty years, and someone who has covered some of the most significant moments in modern history and interviewed some of the most important figures of our time.

But this conversation tis around a different subject. Away from the newsroom, Sophie has built another passion entirely. At 40, having done almost no exercise for decades, she decided to run the London Marathon. She collapsed two miles from the finish. She got up and did it again. She has now completed all seven World Marathon Majors, more than twenty marathons and ten ultra-marathons, including the 150-mile Marathon des Sables across the Sahara. Her first book, Running on Air, published by Bloomsbury, tells the story of how running changed her — not just physically but in the ways that actually matter. This is a conversation about resilience, getting things wrong and what it takes to keep going and how MidPoint is often, the perfect time to try something new.
