Hey DMP fans, we have a new podcast we think you'd like from Myleene Klass, called They Don't Teach This In School... Be honest - how many times have you felt so under-equipped for what life has thrown your way? In school we learned about Pythagoras, but then we went out into the adult world and we were expected to know how to budget for a household, set up a bank account or know what to do when the boiler broke. Myleene says "There was so much I wish we were taught. So that’s how my book and this podcast was born. I’ll be speaking to some brilliant guests to share their tips on how they and their families survive life’s challenges" Listen to the first 3 episodes now and subscribe for new episodes every Tuesday.

To lose a little part of yourself.
