On this weeks episode I talk to sisters and founders of the Our Streets Now Campaign, Maya & Gemma Tutton. Their campaign is pushing for Public Sexual Harassment (PSH) to become a criminal offence in the UK and focuses on raising awareness of this prolific issue and the long term impact it has on victims.

I have a good chat with my lovely friend Jess all about the social stigma of age and why turning 30 feels so daunting, when it really shouldn’t.

Jess reflects on her rollercoaster twenties and we both share our thoughts on why we feel your twenties are such a transitional time. Full show notes on the website page link below...
