A surprising midlife dating story with best-selling author Christie Watson

Trish and Lorraine catch up with the former frontline nurse turned novelist and ethics professor to share her story of falling in love with someone she least expected, and how together they created their blended family. We also go behind the scenes in the NHS to find out what inspired her new medical thriller Moral Injuries, and what she’s learned about transitioning from the big job of your life to a new unknown career. Plus: Lorraine tests self-hypnosis - could it help you manage anxiety in midlife? And surviving those French exchange trip in the 1980s
