I do spend a lot of my time laughing

PODCAST HOST AND MUM-OF-THR VOGUE WILLIAMS TALKS ABOUT FUNNY FRIENDS, READING AND FINDING WAYS TO RELAX.

IF you sometimes ‘forget’ to prioritise self-care, or just find it’s an effort to make it happen, you’re in good company.

“I do have to force myself into it sometimes,” says Vogue Williams, when asked about her personal approach to self-care.

The podcast host and media personality has three young children with husband Spencer Matthews – Theodore, four, Gigi, two, and baby Otto, who turns one next month – and agrees “100%” that sometimes it’s about being a bit strategic.

“But there are a few things I love doing that will actually relax me, and it’s not just when I’m unwinding,” Vogue, 37, adds. “So, if I’m doing my podcast – I find it very relaxing to record my podcast – but I’ll always have a candle beside me on my desk, so it’s a relaxing environment to sit and chat to my friend.”

That friend is Irish comedian Joanne McNally – the pair host My Therapist Ghosted Me together, while Vogue also has a podcast with her husband, called Spencer & Vogue. When she’s not working though, she says her ultimate way to switch off is curling up with a book.

“That’s self-care to me. If I have a bath, I’ll always have a glass of milk and piece of chocolate or something like that, and just sit in the bath and relax, and again I’ll have my book and just chill.”
