'How I found love in lockdown!' - listen to today's 'Lockdown Conversations' podcast

In the midst of a global pandemic - and while we’ve all spent far too much of the year shut away at home - the mum-of-two, vlogger, health and wellbeing influencer, and belly-dancing beauty – originally from Pitsmoor – managed, against all the odds, to find happiness with her partner, Mike.

Listen to her story here.

Our podcast will be running every day throughout lockdown, keeping you company, keeping you connected, and sharing your lockdown experiences.

Host Nik Farah will be inviting a different local voice to take a seat on the virtual couch every day – talking about Covid-19’s impact on your jobs, mental health, relationships, and life-changing events.

So far, we’ve chatted to South Yorkshire actor Lee Semley about keeping theatre alive, local journalist Danielle Andrews about giving alcohol the heave-ho, Ruth Garbutt – mum of Captain Tobias Weller – about their incredible lockdown challenge, Jane Alflat about her untraditional 2020 wedding, new mum Ellen Beardmore about lockdown maternity leave, Jonathan Lee about writing a book in six weeks, Charlotte Williams who received a Barnsley Spirit award recently for ‘outstanding contribution to her community during the pandemic,’ and Katy Middleton about juggling lockdown house renovations with entertaining two young toddlers.

Listen to our full chat with Sophie above – and don’t forget to check back tomorrow for day ten.
