If you are one of the few people on the planet who hasn't watched the Netflix show, 'Baby Reindeer' it was written and created by Richard Gadd and brings his own life story to screen as his character Donny is intensely stalked by Jessica’s character, Martha. It’s one of the best TV shows not just of the year but ever, as it goes from comical to heartbreaking in just a few seconds.

But this is no overnight success, today on the podcast Jessica shares the lessons learnt from her 17 year-long career which started with one of my favourite movies of all time, 'Pride' and most recently the BBC comedy 'The Outlaws' where she plays the one-line comedian, parole officer Dianne.

Just like 'Baby Reindeer' this is a special episode with all the emotions, as for the very first time Jessica talks about coming out at 36 - despite missing some key signs - and the freedom it has given her in her life.

As we start Pride Month, no matter how you identify or how you are currently feeling about your identity, Jessica’s story will inspire you to embrace yourself and celebrate YOU.
