How To Be

Alex Huxford, the Brand Manager at Lady Garden Foundation.

Following the episode with Luna Daily I wanted to create an episode with Lady Garden who are a foundation that raise awareness and funding for gynaecological health. Formed in 2014, the Lady Garden Foundation was formed by 8 women who has all been affected by Gynaecological Cancer in some way. They mission is to spread education far and wide so that we are psychologically better equipped and less fearsome when it comes to noticing the signs and symptoms of gynaecological cancers.

Alex gives us an in-depth but relatable version of the gynaecological journey that we go on as women; from starting our periods to reaching the menopause and everything in between.

The main thing that came from this conversation is to know your own normal, Alex shares some really useful things that we can all do to check out our vaginas and get to know them a little better. 

What we cover 

Education on the female anatomy 

Know your normal

What to expect from a smear test 

5 Genealogical cancers 

Journey of gynaecology

Three Ships do an incredibly good job at being inclusive, open and transparent so I was keen to dig into it a little more with Connie and talk about how Three Ships are building a brand that is humanised, that is relatable and that is transparent in everything they do.

In this episode we got personal and spoke about Connie’s journey to skincare, upbringing and how the support from her parents has helped her to become successful. We also spoke about race and Connie growing up in a predominantly white community which she now incorporates into the brand and her role as a leader.

Kristen Such is a mindset coach that specialises in helping women heal self doubt and build confidence so that they can live a more enriched and fulfilled life. 

I loved talking to Kristen because she’s relatable, honest and an empowering voice for us to listen to. How she talks about mindset and healing kinda blew me away, she’s super knowledgeable but keeps it quite raw at the same time which is needed in a time where we are constantly fed information on self development and self growth. 

She’s all about getting rid of the BS and gets straight to the point so that we can really understand how to take what she’s saying and apply it to our own lives in a realistic and healthy way. 

We talked about anything and everything from how we’re affected by our inner child, self healing and dealing with trauma to making big decisions, self application and overcoming things that are holding us back. 

What we cover 

Finding your purpose 

Soul & spirituality 

Overcoming limiting beliefs 

Inner child & healing the past

Self acceptance 

Dealing with societal pressures

This weeks episode is with Anna Brightman, the Co-founder of Up Circle which is a skincare brand that uses upcycled ingredients to deliver high quality skincare. 

A really interesting chat with Anna, of course she shares the story of how she and her brother, Will built the brand but we have a really good chat about how they keep Up Circle so real, human and why they share more than just success stories.

I try to have a different approach when it comes to interviewing brand founders, I’m a firm believer of brands being born from people so we dug deep into Anna’s story and background of where her love of beauty came from and interestingly, her passion for makeup.

If you haven’t tried Up Circle’s products I recommend giving them a go. I was initially quite sceptical, especially about coffee as a skincare ingredient but was pleasantly surprised and have continued to use their products. 

Listen until the end because Anna gives us some great skincare tips and I ask the simple skincare questions that we’re sometimes too shy to ask.

Up Circle have kindly given the Scenes Of Beauty listeners 20% off their products with code SENSESB20.

T&Cs
