S1 Ep 5: Helen Newman - Honestly Helen

S1 Ep 9: Jenny Hicken - The Red Box Project

This week’s topic is something I am passionate about and that needs to be talked about a lot more and that is periods, and why everyone needs to stop being embarrassed about mentioning periods or think they are something we need to hide. More needs to be done to help with the cost burden of having your period especially in young teenagers, and that leads onto this week’s guest, today I chat to the lovely Jenny who is a volunteer for The Red Box Project which is a non for profit organisation that helps supply schools with sanitary products for girls that may not have access to these products when on their period. And the stats on young girls missing school because of not having the right products when on their period is really upsetting. So keep listening to find out more.

S1 Ep 7: Alex Hurley - Hotpod Yoga

This week’s guest is Alex the owner of Hotpod Yoga Newcastle. I reached out to Alex because I had been to a few Hotpod yoga classes and it fascinated me and I personally wanted to learn more about Yoga in general. So what better way than to get Alex on the podcast to tell us all his personal journey with yoga and becoming a yoga instructor and also being a business owner of a franchise

And we have 5 more incredible people and subjects yet to come before we take a break before series two. Right, let’s get onto episode five. This week I am joined by Helen from the blog Honestly Helen. I wanted to talk to Helen as we had been friend online for a while and when we met up in real life we hit it off instantly so I knew she would be great fun on the podcast. We mainly talk about our slight additions to our phone and all things digital and why having a break sometimes is a good idea, also it seems to becoming a theme but there is also a boyband chat in there as well. Keep listening and I hope you enjoy
