How To Fail With Elizabeth Day

Fashion icon Bella Freud on abandoning psychics, learning to trust herself and realising that what happens next is entirely up to her.

Freud is a designer and creative whose clothes have adorned the likes of Zadie Smith, Kate Moss, Little Simz and…well…me. She’s also a cult podcaster with her hit show, Fashion Neurosis, where guests are invited to examine what clothes mean to them.

She’s lived a fascinating life: the daughter of Lucian Freud, the great-granddaughter of psychoanalyst Sigmund and the sister of novelist Esther who wrote the novel Hideous Kinky about their childhood. Now in her 60s, she joins me to explore why she’s always late, why she regrets never joining the circus and what it’s really like carrying the weight of such an instantly recognisable family name. Plus: why she no longer goes to psychics.

Bella is so smart, considered and stylish. This free-ranging conversation will make you think, laugh and feel unexpectedly hopeful about getting older. 

✨ IN THIS EPISODE:

00:00 Introduction 

04:04 The Power of Fashion and Design

06:47 Challenges in the Fashion Industry

💬 QUOTES TO REMEMBER:

This whole thing about failure of course, is that you can fail and try again

What's going happen is what I make happen, so get on with it

The key is to stay and finish and then the whole level of reward is so much greater

Being late is an incredibly aggressive thing to do

Bella Freud - Learning To Trust Herself

I’ve always been obsessed with friendship - how it shapes us, challenges us and often goes uncelebrated. In this episode, both Dawn French and Vogue Williams get honest about the beauty and the messiness of it all.

Despite being surrounded by great friends, Vogue explains why she worries she’s not the best friend back - although she’s definitely working on it. Dawn then reflects on growing up as an RAF kid. Repeated moves meant she learned early on how hard it can be to build and keep connections. She also talks about her iconic friendship with Jennifer Saunders (which did *not* start smoothly) and the people she holds closest today.

My fascination with the subject runs so deep that I even wrote a whole book about it! Friendaholic: Confessions of a Friendship Addict explores why friendship matters and how it evolves over our lives. Feel free to buy a copy for you…and all your friends!

ON FRIENDSHIP… With Dawn French and Vogue Williams

You might know the star of Rivals for his revealing role in the hit Disney+ show, but did you know about his dramatic allium allergy?! I thought not. 

Alex Hassell might be best known for his portrayal of the dashing bounder, Rupert Campbell-Black in the Emmy-Award winning TV adaptation of Jilly Cooper’s Rivals but his career spans the Royal Shakespeare Company, a leading role opposite Anya Taylor-Joy in The Miniaturist, HBO’s His Dark Materials and co-founding the pioneering Factory Theatre Company.

In this conversation, Alex reflects on the role therapy and his marriage have played in weathering early-career rejection. We talk about his struggle with self-confidence, his unlikely ’failure’ to get into trouble and the rebellious streak that defined his youth - including that time he took acid at Alton Towers. Plus: having to spray tan his own private parts.

This episode was recorded live at the Barbican earlier this year.

✨ IN THIS EPISODE:

00:00 Intro

03:17 Season Two of Rivals

04:35 The Challenges of Acting

05:28 Therapy and Self-Reflection

11:17 Overcoming Self-Doubt

13:31 School Experiences and Bullying

20:13 The Factory Theater Company

23:31 Reflecting on Early Career Challenges

23:57 The Onion Allergy Struggle

28:16 Balancing Historical Accuracy and Sensitivity in 'Rivals'

29:30 The Pressure to Be Good

33:12 Family Influence and Personal Growth

40:57 The Actor's Vulnerability and Connection

💬 QUOTES TO REMEMBER:

To withstand being an actor, you have to have very, very thick skin.

I am really drawn - for some perverse reason - to parts that intimidate me and that I think I'm probably not capable of playing.

I think that acting sometimes can be a bit like being in an abusive relationship in that you feel like the most important and the best... And then it's just taken away and no one wants you and they're not interested and it's like you're a piece of shit.

Alex Hassell - Rivals, Rejection and Taking Acid at Alton Towers

Perspective is something we all chase - because when it slips, life can feel chaotic and overwhelming. But when we find it again, everything becomes a little clearer.

In this episode, actor Adeel Akhtar reflects on a time when he lost sight of perspective and how becoming a parent helped him rediscover what truly matters.

Cricketing great Pat Cummins shares how the loss of his beloved mum reshaped his relationship with sport and why he’s now more determined than ever to put family first.

ON PERSPECTIVE… With Adeel Akhtar and Pat Cummins

I don’t often have repeat guests on How To Fail but Mo Gawdat is the exception. When he first came on this podcast in 2019, he fundamentally changed my mindset and my approach to life.

Back then, he was on a mission to make 1 billion people happier. Now, he returns to focus his brilliant philosophical and analytical brain to the perpetual human question: how to find true love, then nurture and sustain it.

He joins me to discuss the three most frequent mistakes we make in love - and to explain how AI could be the saving of us. Mo is about to launch a game-changing AI-powered app called Emma that promises to help us all navigate the dating game with compassion and insight. This is the first time Mo has spoken in depth about this revolutionary new app so, yes, that IS a How To Fail exclusive, no biggie. 

✨ IN THIS EPISODE:

00:00 Introduction 

04:29 Personal Growth and Relationships

05:40 Heartbreak and Grief

10:03 Reflections on Love and Breakups

18:12 The Complexity of Modern Dating

21:45 Introducing Emma: The AI for True Love

29:53 The Mathematics of Dating

30:33 The Law of Large Numbers in Love

32:54 Dating Fatigue and Its Consequences

33:39 Game Theory in Relationships

36:52 AI's Role in Modern Relationships

39:15 The Economics of Love and Relationships

47:52 Finding Contentment Amidst Global Chaos

💬 QUOTES TO REMEMBER:

Heartbreak is very similar to a terminal diagnosis, followed by grief.

Falling in love is very easy. The trick is how realistic are you about falling in love with the right person?

When you go on a date with a mindset that says “It's not going to work”, it's definitely not going to work.

Mo Gawdat - The 3 BIGGEST Mistakes We Make In Finding Love

We don’t talk about this enough, even though so many of us face it personally or through someone we love.

Real Housewives of New York star, Jessel Taank, opens up about her three-year journey to become a mum; the strain it put on her marriage, the financial toll and the moments during five rounds of IVF when she questioned everything - even whether she truly wanted motherhood. And then… she had twins.

Paloma Faith also shares her own IVF experience, from the loneliness and an ectopic pregnancy to postpartum psychosis and depression after her first baby. Today, she’s a mum of two and recently announced she’s expecting her third.

As someone who’s been through IVF myself, I hope this episode offers comfort, connection and a reminder that you’re not alone - no matter where you are on this journey.

ON IVF… With Jessel Taank and Paloma Faith

Ruth Wilson MBE has made a habit of tackling psychologically demanding roles. You’ll know her from playing a mother grieving the loss of her child in The Affair, a sociopathic research scientist in Luther or even from her acclaimed stage performances in Anna Christie and King Lear. 

Now, Wilson is back with Apple TV's Down Cemetery Road, based on novels by Mick Herron. She stars opposite Emma Thompson, as an art restorer swept up in a high stakes crime drama. 

We talk about her getting rejected from Oxford University, her failure to run the London Marathon in the way she envisaged and the power of aging naturally. Plus: how her father’s Alzheimer’s diagnosis has helped her live in the present. A beautiful and intelligent conversation with a phenomenally talented actor.

‘I think it's important to face things you don't want to see, because only then will you grow. Only then will you live properly.’

‘Our gift as a human is to be able to think and feel. So, do it and be challenged.Be challenged by what disgusts you.’

Ruth Wilson - Be Challenged By What Disgusts You

We all face rejection, no matter who we are. In this episode we revisit conversations with two extraordinary women who have faced rejection and overcome it: Spice Girl Mel B opens up about her unsuccessful audition for The Sound of Music and the pain of feeling like she didn’t fit the mould because of how she looked while Nicole shares what life was like before the Pussycat Dolls - the endless auditions, doors slammed-shut and the struggle to land her big break.

Hearing these stories from women who have gone on to achieve so much is a powerful reminder that feelings of doubt and fears around not being ‘enough’ are universal. But as Mel and Nicole remind us, the true test of character is in how we respond to them.

ON REJECTION… With Mel B and Nicole Scherzinger

Michelle Yeoh has created a legendary body of work that defies easy categorisation. You’ll know her from cult classic Kung Fu Cinema, Everything Everywhere, All At Once - the film that made her the first Asian woman to be given the Academy Award for Best Actress at the time. She was cast as a Bond girl in Tomorrow Never Dies, then starred in the global box office hit Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon and the brilliantly chilling future mother-in-law in Crazy Rich Asians. This month sees her returning to the role in Wicked, as Madame Morrible. 

In person she is warm and engaging, with a fascinating story to tell. We talk about why mistakes help us grow, why she felt like a ‘failure’ for not having children (something we have in common), stage fright - and how she almost quit after a life-threatening stunt injury. Plus: racism, typecasting and why her mother is the REAL diva. 

✨ IN THIS EPISODE:

01:16 The Journey to Hollywood

02:36 The Role of Family

03:52 On Playing Iconic Roles

08:10 Facing Personal Challenges

24:20 Think Wider: Breaking Family Expectations

25:38 Pursuing Dreams: From Ballet to Acting

27:16 The Hong Kong Film Industry: Early Challenges

27:33 Breaking Stereotypes: Women in Action Films

34:25 Hollywood's Limitations: Typecasting and Minority Roles

37:30 Facing Racism: The Ongoing Struggle

39:22 Stunt Accident: A Turning Point

47:57 Resilience and Reflection: Lessons Learned

💬 QUOTES TO REMEMBER:

When you're down, you learn. You become resilient, you become stronger and you learn from mistakes. Don't wallow in them.

I truly believe ups and downs are like a heartbeat. You can't just [go] one way. Right? That would be a flatline.

I believe in always moving forwards, because if you stay still you're just stagnant and you're just waiting for the inevitable.

An act of kindness or compassion goes a long, long way in our world and we are in so desperate need of that.

Michelle Yeoh - On typecasting, fertility and THAT Oscars speech

Today, we’re chatting all about parenting on How To Fail! We’ll be revisiting some of the most meaningful moments from the archive - the ones that can bring a fresh insight, thoughtful perspective and a sense of comfort through parenting’s tougher challenges.

First, you'll hear from the Daddy of Reality TV, Andy Cohen, who speaks about a time he felt he failed as a parent in the playground and how he worried he’d let his son down.

Then we turn to Caitlin Moran, who shares her experience of the terrible sadness of realising her daughter had an eating disorder - and how she didn’t deal with it in the right way at first.

I hope these moments from other parents offer you a bit of guidance, relief and a reminder that every family finds its own way.
