Donna Ashworth

It really changes things.

Not to say that it has been smooth.

It's been a struggle.

And every time I go to do something new, I have to dig deep.

And I have to go, right, come on, Donna.

This is wonderful.

I'm so grateful to be here.

This morning.

I was filming for a lovely thing that's coming up really soon and it was very professional and very professional people.

And there was sort of four cameras and lots of microphones and it was all very close and I was like, oh, this is not comfortable for me.

But I know what to do.

And I'm also open about it.

And I think if you're open about it to the people in the room, excuse me, do you mind if I just get my dry mouth pastel out of my bag, please?

Because I get, you know, cotton mouth when I get nervous.

then it helps.

Everybody has a giggle and you're not ashamed of being, you know, imperfect.

You've just got to get on with it anyway, imperfectly.

So, yeah, I have to dig deep all the time.

But it has got to be for the joy of it.

As soon as you invited me to come here today, immediate yes.
