It's a bonus ep! After being so moved by Bianca Innes' story of discovering she had breast cancer at just 20 years old, we decided we needed to do something to raise awareness and funds!
So today, we are so honoured to be joined by Associate Professor Samantha Oakes. Sam is the Director of Research Investment at the National Breast Cancer Foundation. And today she is going to give us the lowdown on what to look for and what to do if we notice any changes.
Plus you'll hear how much we raised through our 'Touch Your Tits' tee fundraiser and how these funds will be spent.

If you have anyone under 5 in your life, you might know Caterina Mete as the Red Wiggle. Why on earth would Chloe and Ellidy be interviewing a Wiggle?
Well, one of the topics that comes up regularly in our facebook group, is having a child on your own. What to do when you're yet to meet a suitable partner but you know without a doubt you want kids?
This topic has been on our ideas list for a long time, and when we heard that Caterina was pregnant with twins at 43, after deciding to go it solo via IVF and a sperm donor, we knew this was a conversation we wanted to have.

The Choice to Go Parenting Solo with The Red Wiggle; Caterina Mete

When it comes to fertility, the focus on finding the issue often falls on the woman. However, the stats show us that male fertility is equally as likely to be the root of the issue. It's time to change this focus on women and balance out this conversation. In this episode, Chloe talks to Dr Shahin Ghadir, a top LA fertility specialist, to talk all things male fertility and sperm health.

The Epic Finale of the Life Update So Big We Had to Cut in Half

Look. There's been a bit going on... between Chloe travelling the globe on tour whilst growing a little human, and Ellidy's rather hectic work schedule, there was so much to talk about that we figured we'd give you a two part banger. In this first part you'll hear:

an update on Ellidy's house situation
behind the scenes at Miami Music Festival
what's new with Minnie Moo
all things baby showers
and Chloe makes a shocking discovery of something that has taken up residence on the undercarriage of her belly
