Episode Synopsis

Step into this heartwarming episode of The Nancy Stevens Lifestyle Show, where friendship, creativity and honest conversation take centre stage. Nancy welcomes one of her oldest friends, Justine McNulty, the creator behind Wooden Wick Candles, for a rich and uplifting chat that flows from personal stories to powerful reviews and a touch of festive inspiration.

Nancy opens the show with her trademark blend of humour and insight before moving into three deeply engaging reviews — the haunting power of Nuremberg, Elizabeth Gilbert’s raw new memoir All the Way to the River, and the glossy, dark drama of Wild Cherry. Her reflections span history, grief, addiction, privilege and the unsettling realities of modern life, delivered with the emotional intelligence and warmth listeners adore.

We then dive into the world of candle-making with Justine, exploring how a lockdown hobby blossomed into a thriving business featured in John Lewis. The pair discuss premium waxes, evocative scents, creative workshops, and the joy of gifting experiences rather than things. Their conversation is filled with nostalgia, laughter, shared memories, and the importance of meaningful female friendships.

The episode also wanders beautifully through books, films, fashion mishaps, Strictly Come Dancing favourites, and the chaos of naming children — an unfiltered snapshot of two women who have lived, laughed and grown together for 25 years. It’s cosy, candid, and full of soul, perfect for anyone craving warmth during the darker winter months.

If you love uplifting conversation, heartfelt reflections, lifestyle inspiration and the magic of women supporting women, this episode will wrap around you like a soft blanket.
