In this vibrant and jam-packed episode of the Nancy Stevens Lifestyle Show, Nancy takes us on a whistle-stop tour of her latest adventures—from her journaling journey and crafting a flamboyant peacock feather wreath at Cerus Botanical Workshops to a heartfelt afternoon tea reunion with her best friend in Yorkshire. She reflects on kindness, the North-South divide, and shares her TV pick of the week: The Gold on BBC iPlayer—a gripping true crime drama. 

Nancy then shares her very personal experience of journaling in this week's Working With Waterstones segment featuring Sunday Times best-selling author Donna Ashworth's brilliant book Words To Live By.

The spotlight then turns to a powerful interview with Monica Ferguson, Chief Executive and Artistic Director of The Stables, as they discuss the upcoming Milton Keynes International Festival (IF:MK). Monica shares the story behind its creation, the magic of the iconic Spiegeltent, and previews extraordinary performances, immersive art, and UK premieres set to transform the city this July. It’s a celebration of arts, accessibility, creativity and community—not to be missed!
