Brave New Girls - Well Beings, Well Planet

Send a text

This week's guest is Mickey Noonan, who once notoriously shoved an apple pip up her nose to see what happened. Older, wiser, but sadly without a nose-tree, she remains curious about the world, which is why she became a journalist and is now in the hosting trio of the hugely successful Standard Issue podcast.

Host & artist, Lou Hamilton chatted with Mickey as they discussed her years in the world of lads' mags, being a sexpert, becoming a feminist, starting a magazine, and morphing that magazine into a podcast in order to give a platform for women by women, about everything (almost everything).

In this way this Woman of Courage brings us her Story from the Edge.

This week's guest is Clare Burnett, President of the Royal British Society of Sculptors and a practising artist. Scavenging from her surroundings she elevates the status of simple everyday objects to make pared-down, abstract sculptures placed in spaces so that we see the world around us with open eyes & a different perspective.

Host & artist, Lou Hamilton chatted with Clare as she discussed turning her back on Architecture and Law to working with a whole array of materials including household objects to create sculptures and installations. Most recently she was commissioned to design a giant outdoor sculpture in China out of stainless steel. Historically a male dominated art form, Clare has forged a path for herself and other young women artists after her, ensuring that they too get to work as sculptors on an equal footing.

In this way this Woman of Courage brings us her Story from the Edge.

This week's guest is Pam Millington, originally from Zambia, Pam married a Brit and raised two children in a rural village in Wiltshire. When the boys flew the nest, Pam and Richard decided to fly off too and moved back to Zambia to a build a house in the virgin bush.

Brave New You TRIBE podcast Host, artist & illustrator, Lou Hamilton chatted with Pam as they discussed growing up as the only black girl in her primary school in Zambia, boarding at the same secondary school that Nelson Mandela sent his kids to, falling in love with a Brit and heading to the UK with him to raise a family. Bringing up two boys in a rural, very white, village in Wiltshire, Pam had to help them learn to fend off taunts, and on one occasion she faced up to the head teacher who, she believed reacted to an incident in a disappointingly racist fashion. When the boys left home Pam and her husband Richard decided to head back to Zambia on the offer of land, and set out to build their dream life in the Africa bush.

In this way this Woman of Courage brings us her Story from the Edge.

This week's guest is Rebecca Oxtoby, author of the humorous yet brutally honest book for first time mothers: "Mum's the Word- the sh*t nobody tells you about parenthood until it's too late"

Brave New You TRIBE podcast Host, artist & illustrator, Lou Hamilton chatted with Rebecca, as they discussed how after fertility treatment, and being truly grateful for having a baby, the reality of going from high achiever to being in the simultaneously  underwhelming and overwhelming world of new motherhood hits like a bolt from the blue.

This week's guest is Tamsyn Wood, a plant-based lifestyle blogger whose purpose is to support other carers like herself. From living the dream, with her true love, 4 kids & chickens in the South of France, her life was turned upside-down when her husband suffered a brain injury and was left blind, wheel-chair bound and needing 24/7 care. Tamsyn talks about how she survives a life she hadn't planned.

Brave New You TRIBE podcast Host, artist & illustrator, Lou Hamilton chatted with Tamsyn, as they discussed the healing power of the sea, and of allowing yourself to go through the emotions- all of them, even when you find yourself on the floor weeping, but knowing that that is ok. In this way this Woman of Courage brings us her Story from the Edge.
