This is what happens when two good friends sit down and talk about the stuff that actually matters.

In this episode of On a Mission, Ellie McKay is joined by the brilliant, big-hearted and wonderfully honest Angharad Wrigley for a conversation about life, growth, and finding your way back to yourself after years of running on autopilot.

Angharad shares how it took her until her 40s to finally like the person she’d become. Along the way, she talks about the quiet decision to embrace sobriety, the shift from self-doubt to self-trust, and the sense of purpose she’s found through her business, her love for animals, and a totally new way of living.

From building confidence, to breaking habits, to rescuing dogs and cats and giving them a second chance, this is a story about letting go of what no longer fits and finally making space for what does.

It’s deep, funny, raw in all the right places and a reminder that you’re allowed to rewrite the script, no matter how late you start.

Key moments include:

✔ The decision to live life with more clarity and less chaos
✔ Why her 40s feel more grounded than any decade before
✔ Learning to trust her gut and stop looking for outside validation
✔ Letting go of drinking as part of rediscovering her identity
✔ Finding unexpected purpose through animal rescue
✔ Creating a business that fits around her values, not the other way around
✔ The shift from functioning through life to actually living it
✔ What changes when you stop trying to be everything to everyone
✔ The power of slowing down, tuning in and doing life differently
