Inside Chloe Hayden’s world: Titanic, Bratz & Heartbreak High

What if growing up didn’t mean growing out of the things you love?

For the very first episode of Charmed, Sam Todd is joined by actor, author and collector Chloe Hayden to talk about the tiny treasures, childhood obsessions and sentimental objects that become part of who we are.

Chloe takes us inside her collections, from a lifelong Titanic obsession and hundreds of model horses to Bratz dolls, Pokémon cards and pieces she kept from Heartbreak High. She and Sam also get into the joy of collecting as an adult, why your treasures are meant to be enjoyed, and finding your way back to the things you once thought you had to grow out of.

Then, for Show Me Your Charm, Chloe brings in an extraordinary Titanic keepsake with a story that perfectly sums up why the things we save can mean so much.

Because maybe growing up isn’t about losing your childhood obsessions. Maybe it’s finally getting to love them without being embarrassed.

Charmed, with Sam Todd. Stories worn to tell, with Pandora.
