Gloriously Ordinary Sundays - 5th October 2025

Once a month I chat with someone about Gloriously Ordinary Lives and how it resonates with them for the Gloriously Ordinary Sundays Podcast.

In episode 14, you'll hear that I am absolutely thrilled to introduce you all to the lovely ⁠⁠⁠Marianne Selby-Boothroyd⁠⁠⁠, who's joining the Gloriously Ordinary Lives team... that's right, the Gloriously Ordinary Lives team! How exciting is that?

It's been a couple of years now that we've been really going with Gloriously Ordinary Lives, and so many of you wonderful people are telling me it's resonating. I needed someone else to help me, and I couldn't think of anybody better than Marianne, who I've known for decades.

In this episode, we unpick what Gloriously Ordinary Lives means to Marianne and how the Five Tests resonate with her. From those first hours in the delivery room with her youngest son, through fighting for inclusive education, to building genuine community connections - you'll hear that Marianne's passion for keeping life gloriously ordinary is clear.

Have a listen, we'd love to hear what you think!
