Johnson, and the bottle of wine she shared with her hero, Grace Jones.</p><br><p>Gemma’s book, <em>The Immortal Sisterhood: 12 Guiding Stars to Grow, Heal and Navigate Life</em>, is available now in paperback.</p><br><p>We&#39;d love to hear from you - email Fearne at <u><a href="mailto:hello@happyplaceofficial.co.uk" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">hello@happyplaceofficial.co.uk</a></u></p><br><p>If you liked this episode of Happy Place, you might also like:</p><br><p><u><a href="https://pod.fo/e/65f41a" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Miquita Oliver</a></u></p><br><p><u><a href="https://pod.fo/e/401e76" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Phillipa Perry</a></u></p><br><p><u><a href="https://pod.fo/e/42a86e" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Ashley Roberts</a></u></p><p>Child on the line is a three-part documentary podcast series celebrating the Volunteer Counsellors of Childline, and the brave children &amp; young people who contact the helpline service.</p><p>Listen here: <a href="https://www.childonthelinepodcast.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.childonthelinepodcast.com/</a></p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
