About the author

Fearne has been presenting live TV since the age of 15 when she was spotted by ITV’s ‘Disney Club’.

Her warmth, natural interview skills and ability to make presenting live TV seem effortless and has given her the opportunity to present a variety of shows over the years.

Fearne is currently back in her role as team captain on the 16th series of Celebrity Juice, a show that continues to be a ratings winner for ITV2. Other shows include Children in Need Rocks, The Happiness Project, Fearne & Gok: Off The Rails, The BBC Music Awards, Top of the Pops with Reggie Yates, ‘Fearne and McBusted’ and a Coldplay special for Sky Arts amongst many others.

In addition to TV Fearne is hugely credible in the music genre. In 2005 she joined Radio 1 where she spent 10 incredible years, initially co-hosting morning shows with Reggie Yates and then moving onto the UK Top 40 show before taking over the prestigious weekday morning slot in 2009; here she mixed big celebrity interviews with exclusive acoustic performances in the Live Lounge. The show attracted over 4 million listeners and in 2012 she won a Sony Gold Award for the show.

Alongside TV & Radio Fearne is incredibly creative and has designed several seasons of a home wear range for very.co.uk, curated 13 seasons of her own very.co.uk clothing range and previously released her own make-up and toiletry ranges for Boots. Fearne currently enjoys working alongside Cath Kidston and Garnier Olia and is also a brand ambassador for BaByliss, where she creates a series of ‘Get the Look’ videos and tutorials, recreating her go-to styles using BaByliss tools.

In social media, Fearne has over 7 million Twitter followers and a combined Facebook and Instagram following of over 2.2 million with live, innovative content around her programming and off-air projects, ranking her amongst the world’s top 250 most influential Tweeters.

An enthusiastic cook, Fearne released her first cookbook in June 2016: Cook Happy, Cook Health. Her next book, Happy, talks about her own experiences of happiness (including some of the not-so-happy ones), and was published February 2017. Fearne's third book, Cook. Eat. Love, was published in June 2017.

Work aside, Fearne is a mother of 2 and continues to find time to support a range of charities with seemingly no challenge too big for her, whether it be climbing Kilimanjaro for Comic Relief, or trekking the Inca Trail for Breast Cancer Care. Fearne is an ambassador for The Prince’s Trust and also a patron for Post Pals, Tyler’s Trust and Coppafeel!, the latter of which she curates the charity’s music festival, FESTIFEEL.

I read this book spread out over time as some quiet self care time. It provided some insight to the voices arguing in my head and certainly was a pleasure to read in my own
time. It was nice to not feel alone and I realised more and more that anxiety really is the same for others. She talks about her career and it made me think more of my own whilst living with anxiety. I think this is an easy read and a pleasure.

REVIEW: Fearne Cotton writes so open and honestly. Each chapter explores many different ways in which we can quiet our thoughts and listen to what’s going on around us. Filled with interesting and uplifting interviews from a variety of people, lots of pages with activities and things we can do to incorporate ‘quiet’ into our everyday lives this easy to read book left me feeling very positive and understanding that we aren’t alone and everyone experiences negative thoughts.
📚
RECOMMENDATION: For anyone who wants to silence the noise in their mind and learn to become more mindful in their everyday life.

This was okay! An easy, relaxing listen. Since it was the audiobook, I had to check the PDF to read the interviews which made up the bulk of the chapters. (Which I didn’t because I’m lazy.)

Honestly if I have to read the word "chatter" again my head might implode. The small amount I did read was just unstructured drivel with no real obtainable point.
