'I genuinely thought I was going to die' - Lupus, life lessons and learning to let go with Jess Impiazzi

'I genuinely thought I was going to die' - Lupus, life lessons and learning to let go with Jess Impiazzi

Author: Taylor James July 10, 2024 Duration: 1:02:48

Joining me for a waffle this week is the incredible Jess Impiazzi


Jess joins me for a very open and honest chat about her recent Lupus diagnosis and the impact it has had on her life


Throughout the episode, we have a waffle about Jess' recent struggles and how she has turned the negatives to positives. It hasn't been easy but Jess' outlook on life is as inspiring as it is infectious. We have a waffle about the importance of self-care and how Jess is learning to trust herself again following a break up that left her in a very vulnerable position. Not one to be down for long, Jess is now back on her feet and is throwing herself into the world of nutrition, gut health, and even tech to continue on her self-development journey


You may know Jess from her time on TV, from being an author, or from her incredible work with Guide Dogs UK. However, you know Jess, this episode has something for everyone, and it was an honour to welcome her into the studio!


I really hope you enjoy the episode, and don't forget to hit the subscribe button!

Hosted by Taylor James, The Waffle Shop is built on the idea that the most meaningful talks happen when you’re just chatting about everything and nothing at the same time. This podcast lives in the space where personal stories about music, the realities of mental health, and the daily grind of adult life all intersect. It’s less about finding perfect answers and more about sharing the experience of figuring it out in your thirties, embracing the minor frustrations and small victories that define our days. Each conversation feels like sitting down with friends who aren’t afraid to be honest about the beautiful chaos of their journeys. Taylor brings in a different guest for every episode, and together they have a proper, meandering waffle-digging into past experiences, current challenges, and the odd bit of pop culture. You’ll hear genuine reflections on self-improvement, societal pressures, and the personal journals we all keep in our heads. The result is a comforting, often funny, and deeply human listen that reminds you that navigating life is a shared endeavor. Tune in for a blend of society, culture, and education, all filtered through the lens of real, unscripted conversation.
