Minnie Driver On How The Meaning Of Life Can Fluctuate | Fearne Cotton's Happy Place

What do you feel the meaning of life is? Purpose? Happiness? Does it matter if we’re not sure?
In this chat, Fearne and actor Minnie Driver explore how it might gently fluctuate as we go through different stages of our lives. Minnie also talks about her innate ability to articulate emotion, something that was often agony during her childhood but has now allowed her to parent her own son in a deeply empathetic way.
Minnie’s memoir(ish) is out now; it’s called Managing Expectations.

I enjoy Minnie and her album 'everything in my pocket' is beautiful. Calming chat, when we talk about quickly changing climate the one area no one ever includes in the conversation is population. When you look at the increase globally and the length of life now for humans and the ageing populations, the demands on resources and supplies and infrastructure is an issue.

I am loving every single moment of this conversation. Two of my all-time favourite people in the public eye! 💗💗

I remember when my Mom died 30 years ago. At the time she was the closest member of my family to die & it was a painful experience, as it always is though not necessarily all the same feelings as future losses. Depends very much on where you are in your own life & the circumstances at the time, or that’s certainly how it was for me. But I also remember colours seemed to be more vivid which was a strange but lovely thing & there was an enhancement of life as a result of her death. Thanks for the talk Fearne & Minnie. BTW, Minnie’s voice is so soothing & easy on the ears 💕

[@tuulicamilla]

Minnie’s voice is ASMR for me 🙏🏻
