March 25, 2021 Who Run The World? Hormones! featuring Amy Thomson
This week's episode features Amy Thomsom, one of the founders of Moody Month and author of 'Moody', a new book all about hormones!

Moody Month is a daily health-tracking app that helps women track their cycles and understand their hormones.

My conversation with Amy was so interesting - this is was one my favourite episodes to record! We talked about women's health, the gender gap in medicine and how much more we should understand them instead of shuttering away from words like 'estrogen'

If you want to check out Moody Month before diving into the app: @moodymonth on Instagram and moodymonth.com

And now, 'Moody' is a book! Where you can deep dive into our hormones shape us and how we can work with them towards a healthier life!

May 26, 2019 The beginning with Heather Brooke
As I mentioned in the trailer, Heather Brooke was the inspiration for this podcast. Seeing her be blatantly miscredited for her work breaking the MP expenses scandal made me want to start a dialogue around women in the media.
In this episode, we will talk about her journey into investigative journalism, how she broke the MP expenses scandal, how to stand your ground as a female journalist, knowing your worth and not being afraid to speak your mind.
It's quite a long one, but Heather has a lot of amazing stories to tell.
