with Lauren and Shanequa: International Women's Day!

Lauren Layfield and Shanequa Paris want to know about the women who made us!

Lauren Layfield and Shanequa Paris bring the girl power and want to know about the women who made us. As it鈥檚 International Women鈥檚 Day, we鈥檙e taking a moment to shout about the real-life heroes, the fictional icons, the teachers, aunties, sisters, artists and trailblazers who鈥檝e influenced who we are today. Maybe it鈥檚 someone you know personally or a character from a TV show who helped you feel seen. Maybe it鈥檚 your favourite musician whose lyrics got you through something tough. Who are the women who鈥檝e inspired your confidence, challenged your thinking or helped you become who you are?

Plus we鈥檙e talking about finding your tribe! The days are getting lighter, the energy鈥檚 shifting, and with the F1 season roaring back, it feels like the perfect time for a fresh start. Whether it鈥檚 music, gaming, books, fitness or Formula 1, shared passions can be the spark that turns strangers into mates. But how do you actually take that first step? How do you go from 'I like this thing' to 'I鈥檝e found my people'? Is joining a sports community the easiest way in? How do online fandoms translate into real-life connections? And what if putting yourself out there feels intimidating? From race-day group chats to five-a-side teams, run clubs to fan forums, we鈥檙e breaking down how shared interests can help you build confidence, connection and community.

Helping us do that is Hannah Ellis Carmichael, a friendship and connection coach.
