Robin Bailey

Robin Bailey is one of those voices you feel like you know.

If you've ever listened to her on the radio, and you might not even realise that you have, you'll know what I mean.

She's warm, she's funny, she's incredibly open.

She has this way of making people feel like they're not alone.

And now she's written a memoir, Flamingo's Aunt Born Pink, which tells the story of her life.

It's a life that's been shaped by some extraordinary highs and some very, very, very deep losses.

Robyn lost her father when she was a child.

Years later, her first husband took his own life.

And then after finding love again, she lost her second husband to cancer.

So I wanted to sit down with Robyn and really understand how she's lived through all of that, how she's raised her boys through it, and how she's found her way back to joy.

Because this conversation isn't just about grief,

It's about resilience and what it takes to keep going through repeated life-altering loss and who you become on the other side of it.

This is Robyn Bailey.

Robyn Bailey, legend, living legend.

I'm happy to say.

Welcome to No Filter.

I know you'll have no problem with the No Filter part of No Filter.

No.

Because I have just read your extraordinary book.

Oh, my goodness.
