We’re all guilty of staying inside our comfort zone. We’ve convinced ourselves to settle, to accept our lot in life, that it’s too late, too scary, too much.

Every week, Davina grabs you by the hands and sits you down on the big green sofa for honest, personal conversations with the people who chose change. These are national treasures, everyday heroes, and leading experts, who help you step outside of your comfort zone, embrace reinvention, and get excited about what comes next.

Sophie Ellis-Bextor reflects on her close relationship with her mother, Janet Ellis, and the influence her childhood has had on the way she raises her own children. From growing up with a famous working mother to having a strong, grounded family around her, Sophie shares the lessons she has carried into motherhood and the importance of creating a safe place her children will always want to return to. Katie Piper then receives an emotional letter from her mother, Diane, reflecting on Katie's extraordinary journey through trauma and recovery, and the strength, resilience and compassion she now passes on to her own daughters. Katie shares how becoming a mother has allowed her to carry forward the greatest gifts her own mother gave her, while using the wisdom of everything she has lived through to shape the parent she wants to be. Together, these moments explore the invisible threads that pass from one generation to the next, the lessons we inherit, the love we carry forward, and the profound journey of daughters becoming mothers.
