  • Episode 1 - Introduction to 'Have a Cuppa Unmasked'

    Hello and welcome to 'Have a Cuppa Unmasked' 

    This episode is all about why I created 'Have a Cuppa Unmasked' and what I hope to achieve from it. 

    I set up this podcast as I myself suffer from various invisible illnesses such as Lupus and am fed up with the stigma surrounding invisible illnesses. I initially set up a Vlog documenting my experience and journey with stigma and Lupus via my youtube channel 'Helena's Health Hike', but then decided it wasn't enough. I understand I wont be able to eliminate the stigma by myself, but I had to try. So I set up this podcast as a way of discussing the stigma surrounding invisible illnesses with other people who also have an invisible illness. By sharing our experiences, not only are we raising awareness of invisible illnesses but we are TOGETHER beating the stigma surrounding it. 

    I hope this podcast brings comfort to those who are suffering and awareness to those that do not understand. Please be king, educate yourself and support each other. The world is better when we work together.
