  • The Brontë sisters and Women's Mental Health with Taya Campbell Over

    In today's episode, I am delighted to welcome on Taya Campbell Over to discuss the Brontë sisters, womens health in the 19th century and today and also her play, a retelling of Emily Brontë's 'Wuthering Heights'


    It was a joy to speak to Taya, learn all about her passion for the Brontë sisters and her play! It is amazing how much work Taya's theatre company, 'wasn't there a man' is doing to help understand women's mental health! It was also fascinating to learn more about mental health in the 19th century compared to today!


    I do hope you enjoy this episode!

    Until next time, Jess xo
