Anyone hankering for fame must be offered the chance to watch this conversation from the 1hr 10min mark. We love you, Ferne. Your openness is helping so many to face the reality of what can be a graceless world.

[@marywicks9334]

Oh my goodness! “Life time goal to turn up as myself and for it to be enough” Amen to that Fearne 🥲

[@leahparsons7907]

Great chat! Death teaches us to value life..so many deaths in my life including my 17yr old child helped me life in the moments with tremendous gratitude. Walking hand in hand with love and grief is a beautiful way to honour the love that never dies.

[@allthingsnewlife]

Dear Leah, I'm so sorry to hear about the death of your child, no mother or parent should ever have to experience such grief and loss. Jesus weeps with you at the tragedies of this realm... hold on, hope is alive, hold on, hope has a name, hope revealed in love will soon appear. I pray you find Comfort and the Peace that surpasses all understanding 🤎🙏🤎

I absolutely loved this episode. Having worked as a nurse for 40+ years I have had the privilege of holding many patients hand and being with them when they pass away. It is an honour and extremely moving ( spiritual) and I am grateful to have had the experience xx

Just remember, whatever the their people say about you, it’s not true. You are not any more bad as they say, as you are as good as they say. You just are! Great discussion. 🤗

[@bjkina]

Two genuinely lovely people. Love it. Particularly liked the part where Rangan told of the importance of simply listening, without judgement or comment. Hard to think of anyone more grounded than Rangan. Maybe there is still ego, but it's different, an ego of the all life, not one mind. Something like that. Had a major crush on Fern when I was a teen. Not heard about her since I stopped TV at 20. I think my instincts were good.

[@bjkina]

I couldn't grasp why she seemed to have a bit part. I could sense within seconds that she was a pure heart. ps : re 'ego' : it is when one realises that it is not about 'me', but 'we'. The desire / ambition / drive is still there, but it is now about all, not just oneself.

[@Tortise02]

@@bjkinaYou are so right, it's not about "'me' but 'we'"; having realised that, we then have to work out what our part in the "all life" is, and not try to do it all!

[@ek4172]

You have come into the world at a time of tremendous change and challenge. It is not an easy time to be in the world, but if *contribution is your purpose and intention,* it is the right time to be in the world. You have come at a great turning point. It is not the beginning of a new age. It is the beginning of a great transition, a transition from tribal culture into a world community and into interaction with the Greater Community, of which your world is a small part. You have not come here to live a normal life under quiescent circumstances. You have not come here to retire, to go into repose or to live a life of quiet meditation. *You have come to serve a world whose needs are immense and pressing* and whose time has come for a greater encounter with life beyond its borders. From: Greater Community Spirituality, Chapter 11: What is your preparation for? by *Marshall Vian Summers*

[@johnchapman5125]

Thank you, E K.

[@julieann1975]

Thank you for sharing this

[@alwalw9237]

It is quite interesting that you say this. I was one of those people who always got what I thought I wanted, but invariably I found it all rather shallow and meaningless. I can see how contribution to the world instead of just taking from the world would make a difference. I am going to ponder this further. Thank you for sharing it here.

[@Chick4Biden2024]

My biggest 2 lessons I've learned so far are 1) practice the pause in the moment before reacting or not reacting and 2) consider. Consider what you like and what you don't. Consider who you do and don't like and let that be enough of a why. Leave the door open for opportunities to learn but active regarding is a start. Life is too short not to value your own preferences in all aspects of life. Great episode, thank you.

[@bjkina]

With some trepidation, I think this is on the right lines. Freedom is when there is a pause between experience and reaction. If oneself is pure, one need not get entangled in toxic engagements.

[@bjkina]

The trepidation thing relates to the IF - if one is pure. So, care not about others opinions; care about your own distortions.

[@82vickyM]

I've never allowed myself to properly grieve my cats in the past. Thank you Fern, now I won't apologise for it anymore! Xx

[@16Elless]

Two of my favourite podcasters here. Fearne is so honest & authentic and so many people, especially women I’m guessing will be able to relate to much of what she said. So sad Fearne lost a beloved pet so recently. Those who’ve never had a pet may find it hard to understand the depth of loss you feel when your friend/ part of the family is gone. So much of this conversation resonated with me. The need for self compassion & love is so important these days and it’s liberating when you finally start being true to yourself instead of being who others think you should be. Thanks Dr Rangan & Fearne.

[@Zencba]

I can relate holding my dad's hand on the night he passed, which felt like the first time in when I lived with him for 18/19 years. It felt like the first time and last time I will hold his hand. I bursted in tears as we never had a connection and realized he is my father. I say realized because we never really connected not even a single conversation throughout my life, I felt like I was just co existed with a man. But didn't have a father sense to him.

[@catherineletheren7331]

Big hugs to Fearne. I was in tears listening to her talk about the passing of her cat. Been there sooo many times. Great chat as always on this podcast ♥️

[@rachelc4865]

This lady is bringing the deep and I am all about it! So impressed with her 💖

[@plasticseas]

Thanks Fearne. We had to put our adopted cat to sleep more than two years ago. It leaves a mark, defintely. It's hard not to well up when I think about him. But when I ask myself whether I would rather not have had met Lucien, I will ALWAYS answer NO. Yes, there is sadness and pain at the loss, but I will be forever grateful for all the memories of our time together, and what he taught me about second chances in life, trusting again, blooming in a loving environment... playing hide and seek. Our furry kids give so much and ask for so little in return. They are great teachers of unconditional love. I'm sorry for your loss x

[@jayneshort8603]

To zoe sorry for your loss of your precious pet, many of us animal lovers totally are with you and understand the grief lots of love xxxx

[@BIANCA-zs9nh]

Dr Chatterjee, what you bring to us is truly meaningful, valued & very much appreciated. I aim to listen to you 10mins a day during my warm up before my morning exercise. Today that was completely blown out… I listened to this entire podcast in one session! My legs certainly got a workout today! 😳 The topics that both you & Fearne raised absolutely resonated with me & it’s allowed me to really hone in on my own (very similar) journey. Your interview style is unrivalled; you really take the time to listen to your guest & get to the root of the topic. Each & every time. Just love it. Thank you, thank you, thank you!! 💫

[@catsteinhilb2880]

[@mooch4274]

Fern is awesome one of the very few UK personalities on air that has integrity and is sincere, plus she likes Led Zep and sound garden so she gets my vote there anyway !

Fearne Cotton…. What a lovely girl. Thank you both for this deeply human conversation 🐯

[@ZameerHJ]

I used to watch Fern when she was a children’s tv presenter back in the 90s. She’s presented a lot of shows over the years. Though I haven’t followed her recent work. Good to see her again. She hasn’t changed much.

I have been blown away by how this conversation made me feel, made me think and reflect and made me laugh with you both (Bon Jovi). So happy you shared a moment that we all have had no matter how silly it may feel talking about it now. I will be listening to it a second time.

[@sheilamoreno7180]

What a wonderful conversation .. such heartfelt truth Ferne.. x thank you 🙏 I’ve never listened to you before ( sorry.. my loss ) but I’ll definitely be buying your book.. n I will subscribe to your podcast on the strength of listening to this episode ❤

Listening to you both is just amazing!! I almost got tears of love, at some point when you were talking about connection.

[@Zencba]

It's a strange feeling to see Fearne Cotton on Russell Brands podcast and now this. I grew up as a teenager watching her on a childrens TV show, what's more wierd is she's only 7 years older than me ( does that mean I'm mentally immature??). Now I can understand her on a profound way.

I am a person who resides in NYC and I am trying to get a recommendation to see a good quality doctor I can speak to who can try to figure out my health concern after going to the emergency room from a slight headache on the right side of my head and underneath my right eye. While I was picking up my medication I felt a throbbing pain underneath my left rib...I was coming home at the time and it felt like a sharp pain..like someone punching me. I immediately called 911 and had all sorts of tests ran ..cat scan...ekg...echo cardiogram...I was in constant pain the whole time also at the same time I was feeling this heat in my body that ran through my back and cheat that felt unsettling...I was kept over night for observation and my blood pressure and heart rate was monitored overnight. I felt better at that time and then was discharged. When I tried to go to sleep that night something was not right!! I still felt the warm tingly feeling in my back and chest. Then I proceeded to get more effects...tingly feeling in my fingers (ring and pinky)...also toes in right foot also tingly. Then I felt a pain under my right shoulder blade and top of shoulder off and on. Also on top of that I felt my right hand just go limp with no feeling until I shake it off, and then today I had diarrhea that burned along with left nostril the other day being dried out with mucus...????I have been to emergency many many times and the doctors just throw pills at the symptoms and not look at the problem...its just acetaminophen..ibruprofen...amlodipine..valsartan...atorvastatin and muscle relaxers....they don't seem to be doing anything...I am in the process of trying to see a neurologist and a orthopedic. If there is anyone that can give any advice or if you are going through a similar problem please message me with any suggestions. Does anyone know a really good doctor that will look at my condition that is in new york...I know it's a long shot but I was trying to reach out to someone like Mark Hyman..or Roger Seheult..someone who knows what they are talking about and not someone who is just a resident or physician assistant...when it comes to your life no one is going to be concerned as
