Laura Antonia Jordan is the Fashion and Lifestyle Features Director at Grazia, my favourite ever magazine, so I was over the moon when she agreed to join me on my podcast.
I approached Laura after reading an incredible article that she wrote about loneliness in lockdown. I felt every word she said, and it turns out I wasn’t alone because it was one of her most read articles to date. I also watched a short clip of a Zoom call she shared, where she talks about loneliness being her ‘favourite unsexy subject’, and that clip became one of my main reasons for starting this podcast.
I sent Laura a DM, and couldn’t believe my luck when she replied, and with utter kindness given that I was a complete stranger, and hadn’t even started the podcast yet. We spend the next wee while trying to sort out a suitable time to chat as Laura jetted around the world for each of the Fashion Weeks. That last bit is important, because if someone who is kind, cool, and sassy like Laura can also talk openly about loneliness, then I think we all can, and we don’t need to be embarrassed.
Laura speaks so wisely, and with an incredible self-awareness, throughout this chat, which only helps to highlight that I’m a little star struck at times, but I don’t care. I loved every bloody minute of this podcast, I still can’t believe it happened, and I hope you love it too.
