Summer Rewind: We're revisiting some of our most memorable conversations - and this one is an absolute gem!


In this inspiring archive episode, Dame Prue Leith joins Michelle to talk about living boldly, dressing brightly, and speaking out on issues that matter. Prue shares how embracing colour in midlife isn’t just about fashion - it’s about confidence, visibility and joy. Age, she insists, should never limit our choices or silence our sense of fun.


The conversation then takes a heartfelt turn, as Prue opens up about her advocacy for assisted dying - why she believes everyone deserves the right to a dignified end, and how this choice is an extension of dignity in life.


Plus, Prue introduces her cookbook Life’s Too Short to Stuff a Mushroom, designed to help anyone feel at home in the kitchen, with easy, delicious recipes that keep cooking joyful rather than stressful.


Key Takeaways:

🎙️ The Confidence of Colour: Dressing boldly can lift your mood and help you feel seen in midlife.

🎙️ Dignity in Death: Why Prue passionately supports the right to choose a dignified death.

🎙️ Cooking Made Simple: Making tasty, fuss-free food accessible to everyone.

🎙️ Healthy Eating Habits: Why teaching kids to enjoy nutritious food from the start really matters.


🎧 Rewind with us and rediscover why this episode remains so relevant — and so full of heart.
