Tasha Ghouri on finding your voice, healing from heartbreak, and embracing your superpower

Joining us today is a model, dancer, Strictly finalist and trailblazer who became the first deaf contestant on Love Island, using the platform to shift perceptions, challenge stereotypes and champion inclusion – it’s the brilliant Tasha Ghouri!

In this episode, Tasha opens up about her extraordinary journey so far, from navigating bullying and self-doubt to becoming a rising star in fashion and dance. Here, she shares the life-changing moment her cochlear implant failed during her A-Levels, the mental toll it took, and how it shaped her fierce independence and determination to thrive, no matter the obstacle.

We also talk about heartbreak and healing, as Tasha reflects on the end of her long-term relationship during the Strictly Come Dancing tour, the media storm that followed, and the lessons she learned from her parents’ difficult divorce. With honesty and humour, she also reveals how solo travel and writing her new book helped her process life’s biggest changes and reconnect with her inner strength.

Her debut book, Your Superpower, is out now and available wherever you get your books.
