Welcome to Profoundly, the podcast from Fem Foundry. 

 

Hosted by Pips Taylor, Profoundly is a podcast for women who want to discover, learn, connect and thrive. We’ll be bringing our industry leaders to you, sharing expertise, personal stories and advice to help you navigate every element of your life, from the professional to the very personal. 

 

No jargon; no filters. Just open, honest conversation with some brilliant guests. 

 

This week Pips is joined by Kris Hallenga, founder of breast cancer charity CoppaFeel!

 

After her stage four breast cancer diagnosis at the age of 23, Kris was determined to raise awareness of breast cancer among young people and help save lives through early detection and diagnosis. Through CoppaFeel!, Kris has taught a generation to check their boobs and has got cancer onto the school curriculum.

 

Today she joins us to talk about her personal journey, how her work with CoppaFeel! has been central to her survival and why she’s studying to be a ‘death doula.’

 

To finish off, we have some advice from Natalie Pinkham on keeping on top of your financial health.
