One Lump or Two? : A Cancer Podcast

The Sisterhood of the Assymetrical Bra: Katy Marks on creating Uno Bra and finding confidence with one boob.

In this episode I chat to Katy Marks, founder of Uno Bra, about her own diagnosis of breast cancer cancer and how that drove her to create a lingerie brand designed for the glorious assymetrical gals. We discuss the challenges of body image, the decision to ditch prosthetics all together, and how body positivity and inclusivity in fashion is actually kinda bullshit. What Katy has created is a huge step forward for inclusive fashion but we both can't quite believe lingerie like this doesn't already exists. Our conversation highlights how "inclusive fashion" isn't quite living up to it's name. Katy is so wonderful and I really hope you enjoy the episode and don't forget to check out Uno bra online and on instagram.

Fashion, Festivals, and Feeling sexy with a Stoma: Lucy Jane on how visible differences shouldn't hold you back.

Today I chat to Lucy Jane who started off as a young fashion blogger in Manchester to now being a prominent advocate for stoma awareness after being diagnosed with ulcerative colitis and opting to have surgery and live with a stoma bag at just 19. Six years on, we talk about the challenges of living with a stoma bag, how she is breaking down the stigma, and how her experiences have shaped her confidence and approach to fashion. We also reflects on Lucys dating life post-surgery, her experience on the show First Dates, and her aspirations to raise awareness for chronic illnesses through her platform. Lucy is so lovely and what she’s doing to raise awareness and shout about being sexy and fashionable even with a visible difference is exactly what I’m all about so sit back, grab a cuppa and enjoy. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

Dating disasters and saucy socks... the solo episode you've been longing for

In this episode, I discusses the complexities of dating and sex after cancer treatment. I share my personal experiences - aka my datings disasters - the challenges faced by so many women, and my "advice" on overcoming some of these issues. Please note, I am not an expert, I just like to pretend I am, I've literally had sex once since cancer but I have talked ALOT about it so that makes me a pro right.... The conversation highlights the importance of communication, understanding your own body, and the need for open discussions about sexual health in a world that often overlooks the needs of cancer survivours. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.
