Esme, Reka and Sarah welcome new team mate Ssanyu from USA and the girls chat with new children's author Rick Foster, who has self-published the picture book 'Why Worry Wally' (illustrated by Jackie Case) to support children in coping with anxiety. For over 25 years Rick Foster forged an award winning career as a successful copywriter - creating compelling stories and messages that connected with people and really moved them. For 20 of those years he was founder and part-owner of Tank, a creative agency that focused on making a meaningful difference through their work. Then came a really challenging time for Rick, as he began to suffer from severe anxiety. This made him review his life in a new way and 3 years ago, Rick and his wife, who was also a partner in the company, decided to sell the business and take time to reflect on ‘what was next’. Whilst this period was the hardest time of his life, it also became the happiest, as it reignited Rick’s passion for writing, through pursuing something that he had really wanted to do since the birth of the first of his two beautiful daughters – write picture books! Rick is now a passionate advocate for mental health, and in December 2019 he self-published his first wonderful children’s book “Why Worry Wally”, which aims to give support and encouragement to children suffering from anxiety.
