22.1 Patsy Palmer, actress and DJ

How do you learn to say no and do what makes you happy? Viv talks to the actress, Patsy Palmer, best-known for her role as Bianca Jackson in EastEnders, who now lives in Malibu, California.

Exuding chill vibes from the sofa, Patsy talks to Viv about how finding her happy places – including weekly DJ sets – came from following her own instincts for joy and not living up to anyone else’s expectations.

Patsy is unapologetically content in her sunny slice of heaven where she lives with her husband, children and dogs and which couldn’t be further from Albert Square.

She is owning her sun-filled room most radiantly. Listen in to catch some of her rays!

Viv’s new book, Happy High Status: How to Be Effortlessly Confident, is out now. @vivgroskop
