This week, the secret helpers share their pearls of wisdom with David, whose family life is in crisis, and Claire, whose stammer stops her from moving on in her job.
 
55-year-old David needs help reconnecting with his family. Since his dad's dementia has worsened, not only has he struggled to connect with him, but the family has grown further apart under the stress. He, his wife and daughter eat dinner in separate rooms every night and never do anything together.
                
Claire has suffered with a terrible stammer since the age of five, and it is now holding her back in her private and professional life. She loves her career as a fraud analyst, and giving presentations is part of the job. So far her colleagues have stepped in, but they are starting to get tired of taking on all the extra work. It's make or break time for Claire. She has a major presentation to give in a week and desperately needs the sages' help. Claire believes that if she can conquer her fears and do this, she can go on to do anything. 
 
The sages are Gwen and Elisa from South Africa, Italian mamas Chiara and Agata, Mark and Joe the former New York cops and Lillian from Norway.
