Happier Grey Podcast
I'm pro-ageing and love my grey hair, but I know it can be quite intimidating to take the plunge, so each week, on the Happier Grey Podcast, I'll be chatting to other women who've chosen to embrace the grey in the hope of inspiring and supporting you, whether you already have silver hair, are in the process of going grey, or just considering ditching the dye.
