Ever heard of a little show called THE CIRCLE on Channel 4?..  Well this weeks guest didn't just win over the nation with her sock curls and catfishing skills, but she also went on to win the whole bloody thing... it's the one, the only Natalya Platonova. 

Natalya's twenties started off in the events world in London where she reminisces on some hectic years full of chaos, carnage and cocktails.  It was a lavish lifestyle, but when Natalya hit her mid-twenties, she decided she needed  more structure and discipline in her life, so joined the British Army and never looked back...

Earlier this year she was crowned winner of The Circle and has since been on a rollercoaster journey shoved under the spotlight. Her recent venture is further proof that you never know how one decision could set your life into a motion you never expected it to go. 

Natalya and I chat all things events, spontaneity, being a woman in the army,  societal pressures, her tactics in The Circle, and how her twenties were the messiest but most rewarding years of her life (so far!)...

Our favourite Millennial Minesweeper Quote this week was;

'For what it’s worth, it’s never too late, or in my case, too early, to be whoever you want to be' - F Scott Fitzgerald
