Listen to this episode from ImperfectlyPerfect Podcast on Spotify. Suzanne Shaw shot to instant fame in 2001 as part of the winning pop group 'Hearsay' on the very first reality show 'Popstars' in the UK. What followed was a whirlwind career.
Suzanne Shaw shot to instant fame in 2001 as part of the winning pop group ‘Hearsay’ on the very first reality show ‘Popstars’ in the UK. What followed was a whirlwind career. The group’s debut single was the fastest selling non-charitable record in UK chart history, selling over 1.3 million copies. They went on to have 2 number one records and 4 top 10 hits. They had their own Saturday night TV show Hear’say It’s Saturday, performed at the Royal Variety Show with Elton John, and headlined their own hit UK tour. When they split in 2003, Suzanne carved a successful career in musical theatre, plays and television.
At the start of 2020, Suzanne spoke openly about her battle with mental health and that by making some big lifestyle changes it helped reduce her depression and anxiety.
Such an in depth conversation this week with Suzanne, as Founder Glenn Marsden discusses not only a career that has seen some incredible highlights but also what comes with being thrust into stardom at such heights and so quickly. We hear about the effects it can have on your mental wellbeing and how Suzanne navigated through this period, on one hand enjoying her passion of performing on stage but on the other finding herself having to shut half of herself off due to seeing weekly articles on her private life rather than what she was there to do.
We also hear all about her latest project the 'Shaw Happy Plan' in which from such an overwhelming response from her followers and the media with Suzanne documenting her own journey, she developed a movement through her social platform to help so many others worldwide with lifestyle habits and changes.

She will be running 19 hours for the 19 people who take their lives everyday in the UK. All proceeds will go to the Samaritans.
Founder @_glennmarsden recently asked to be a part of an International Panel of Speakers for the latest social media application ‘Clubhouse’ for its first of a kind online Mental Health Global Summits.
Featuring over 50 speakers over a 4 day period, it was an inspirational summit drawing in the hundreds of people daily and featured in Forbes.

‘Nobody is perfect. I think people are terrified to grow and get outside of their comfort zone because they are so caught up in trying to portray perfection. The minute I just went, This is Bullshit, I am not perfect. Some days I’m a complete mess. For me, my social media is being authentic to who I am. There will be days when I just show up and I’ll go into my group and I’ll be like; I don’t feel good. I am this ball of energy, but I’m also like this little softie as well. Don’t be afraid, it’s not a weakness. When you acknowledge it, that’s the first step to change.
For me, I just want to use the platforms that I do have to 1: empower people and 2: to take away that pressure that people put on themselves.’

‘Being honest. Being an honest person. I still do and try to be something I am not if I am around a certain environment or if I am speaking to certain people because I feel I am such a terrible person at wanting people to like me, but the minute I am honest, that is ME, that is my RAW. That’s who I am. I have my flaws, I have my faults, I can’t know everything, I can’t be able to do everything but at the same time now give myself the credit where credit is due. So it’s being honest, imperfectly perfect’ - @suzi_shaw

If there is a commonality between so many people that we have interviewed, through those dark periods of adversity they have come out the other side believing in something far bigger than themselves.

This episode we chat with Britian's very own singer-songwriter Jamelia.

She has won multiple awards including 4 Mobo's a Q award and an Ivor Novello.
This episode we chat with Britian’s very own singer-songwriter Jamelia. Jamelia is not only an incredible advocate for people speaking up but somebody who has sold millions of albums and scored number one’s all over the world. She has won multiple awards including 4 Mobo’s a Q award and an Ivor Novello.
She’s appeared on programmes on every major UK TV channel and hit the screens on countless movies both in front and her music as soundtracks and tv screens. Such a powerful episode as we delve into getting to know the person behind the public persona that people think they know and go behind the scenes to learn what it is like to feel like you are living almost a dual life at the same time and what comes with that.
We learn about Jamelia's upbringing to then being thrust into the limelight after signing her first record deal at 15 and what comes with navigating through an industry when all eyes are on you and we hear about a shift into the TV industry later on through her career where she began to see a negative side of an experience in the entertainment industry to where she first experienced struggles with her own mental health after having the realisation that she seemed to be loved when entertaining through music but not when on one of Britains biggest daytime talk shows on a panel with an opinion.
Such a powerful, raw and open conversation as we continue to find out how Jamelia worked through that period of time and healed those emotional struggles and where she is now.
To find out more about Jamelia, you can find her through her social platforms at: @officialjamelia or you can simply head to her official website at: jamelia.com To find out more about the Imperfectly Perfect Campaign and our global Efforts, simply head to all of our socials or our offical website at imperfectlyperfectcampaign.org

‘I think being Imperfectly Perfect is beautiful. Allowing everyone around you to be honest. We are all weird. We are all a bit quirky and that’s beautiful. Let’s celebrate that. Go out into the world and be exactly who you are. Dr Seuss said; ‘Those who matter, don’t mind and those who mind, don’t matter’and that’s exactly how I want my children and myself. The best thing we can do now is to pass these messages or these lessons on to our children and from the jump, you be exactly who you are. Are you honest? Are you allowing yourself to be honest? - Jamelia

Being Imperfectly Perfect to me .... 'it's like my mother told me,it's my own sunshine. It's accepting my own light, my love for myself. I'm not perfect, but I'm the perfect ME. Can't nobody do me, better than me, and that's what it is, it's accepting that.' - Kiko Ellsworth.
Being Imperfectly Perfect to me .... ‘it’s like my mother told me,it’s my own sunshine. It’s accepting my own light, my love for myself. I’m not perfect, but I’m the perfect ME. Can’t nobody do me, better than me, and that’s what it is, it’s accepting that.’ - Kiko Ellsworth.
An Incredible Actor known for his work in some of Hollywood’s biggest tv shows and movies 🎥 who made the decision to step away from the lime-light to find himself and pursue more things in life that felt right for him.
This episode we hear such an honest and raw chat listening to Kiko's journey through growing up and realising he didn't have a voice, was full of fear, was hiding unconsciously and didn't have any idea who he was, to then being thrust in to the spotlight and suddenly having adoration from countless people who knew a character from the big screen and not the real Kiko. We learn how through his journey he learnt to go internal and figure out what was going on within himself, where his past behaviour came from and how he started figuring out what was going on with himself to the point he finally started to find out who he was. What's more incredible is what he has gone forward with from that self realisation, work and knowledge. Going out to help, serve and teach so many others in this world.

Michelle Heaton & Husband Hugh Hanley get behind the @imperfectlyperfectcampaign global efforts and next week see’s an incredible chat with them both sharing their story on the ImperfectlyPerfect Podcast with founder Glenn Marsden and Rachael Newsham around Michelle’s battle having had to face some serious health challenges over the past few years, including undergoing a double mastectomy, breast reconstruction a hysterectomy and heart problems, and how she has managed to get through everything with the support of Hugh and her family. We find out how it affected Hugh being a partner watching his loved one struggle and how it impacted him also.
We are truly grateful for Michelle and Hugh getting behind our global efforts in changing the narrative around mental health and sharing their story which will help so many others out there that may be going through similar things.
A quick snippet of the chat with Michelle and Hugh telling us what it means being Imperfectly Perfect to them.
‘To me you have to allow ourselves not to be perfect. Because I always wanted to be perfect, to be the best I can be, and I still do want to be the best I can be and do and the best mum. But I’m never going to be right. Because no-one is right. Nobody is perfect and the more that we understand that and give ourselves a break the better we will be.’ - @wonderwomanshel
‘For me, it is around trying to be the perfect husband. Help Michelle and be her strength because, like she said she has an awful lot of health issues going on there and she’s been through for the last 10 years so much health struggles like hysterectomy, mastectomy, heart surgery, a pancreas issue. That’s a lot to take in, in 10 years for one person plus giving birth to two children. So for me personally, it’s trying to be a perfect husband, a good husband.’ @hughhanley
