On today’s episode of The Therapy Crouch, Abbey and Peter are joined by none other than journalist, presenter, and former engineer Steph McGovern!
From fangirl moments with Bono to accidentally being mistaken for Lady Gaga, Steph’s journey from Black & Decker to BBC Breakfast is full of twists, triumphs, and turbo-charged career pivots.
Steph opens up about her Middlesbrough roots, her engineering past (yes, she actually saved Black & Decker thousands), and how she clawed her way into television, starting from answering phones. The trio also dive into her new thriller novel Deadline, inspired by a chilling real-life stalker experience during her breakfast TV days.
There’s tax talk, spreadsheet love-ins, and a candid chat about financial education and why schools need to do a better job preparing kids for the real world. And yes, there’s pressure washer appreciation, a champagne-fuelled paddle tennis recap, and a few snorts of laughter.
If you’ve ever wondered how to pivot careers, why schools fail kids on money, or how to write a thriller rooted in reality, this one’s for you.
