'I used to absorb everything that I was hearing from people. It’s taken me many years to be able to hear people’s very vulnerable truths and not bring them into my own life in a way that is emotionally dysregulated,' says amandadecadenet
Photo-Illustration: by The Cut; Photo: Heather Hazzan Amanda de Cadenet has been interviewing big names in entertainment since she was 18 years old when she was a host on The Word, a late-night television show that aired in her native U.K. in the ’90s and featured bands like Nirvana and Oasis. By 19, she was married to Duran Duran bassist John Taylor. They had a daughter together and moved to Los Angeles, where de Cadenet began a career as a photographer.
This year, as part of a three-year deal with iHeartMedia, she will release a new show, About the Men, interviewing high-profile men about contemporary masculinity, and host another podcast with Victoria’s Secret called VS Voices. Plus she’ll air new seasons of The Conversation. It’s a lot to juggle, and on top of all that, she’s also the founder of Girlgaze, a platform that connects women and non-binary creatives with different businesses, companies, and brands.
I really like being at home because after driving my kids to school, I don’t want to be doing more of it. In between Zooms, I can go sit outside. I can go down the street and get some lunch. I do mini-outings during the day, but I’m not living in my car. I do miss interviewing people in person. You can get so much information from someone just by looking at their body language and from the energy that you pick up from them sitting in the same space as them. But I quite like Zoom. It’s easier to preserve energy when you are not in person. When I interview someone, I’m so present; it’s like a really intense therapy session. It’s a fully immersive experience. And doing it on Zoom is less intense for me, which is a good thing.
I founded a company eight years ago called Girlgaze, and it was the first time I’d ever run a company. My mental health suffered so severely from the sheer complexity of founding it, raising money for it, and running it. I learned a big lesson: If me and my mental health aren’t in a good place, there’s no one to run any of it. I have to create a system and a structure that ultimately supports me, otherwise I can’t do any of that.
