This week on The Elle Sera Podcast, Elissa Corrigan sits down with the incredible Stephanie Waring — actress, author, and former Hollyoaks star — for one of the most vulnerable and empowering conversations we’ve had yet.

After leaving Hollyoaks following an 18-year run, Stephanie found herself facing the question so many women fear:
“Who am I without the role I’ve played my whole life?”

What unfolds in this episode is an intimate look at identity, aging, body image, eating disorders, purpose, self-worth, and the brave decision to begin again — even when the world thinks they already know who you are.

About Elle-Sera

Hormones aren’t JUST anything. They make you who you are and control everything – your energy, mood, weight, confidence, hunger, motivation, outlook, libido the list goes on. The impact of hormone imbalance on our psychology and behaviour has been dismissed – until now.

Let’s stop diminishing the way we feel because of our hormones, by uttering those three little words: “I’m just hormonal”, and start embracing the power you can have over them.

Elle Sera supports thousands of women to reclaim their hormones, including myself. Our golden pill is packed with five potent ingredients, carefully chosen to rebalance hormones in one essential daily dose.
