Life in Food with Laura Price

Ever wondered why the movies always show women eating ice cream from the tub when they’ve been dumped, when in reality when you’re heartbroken you can’t eat a thing? In the second episode of Life in Food with Laura Price, I speak to Jessie Stephens, co-founder and host of the hilarious pop culture podcast Mamamia Out Loud and author of the non-fiction book Heartsick, about Food and Heartbreak. The discussion covers everything from what happens when we're dumped in our favourite restaurants and pubs to revenge diets and healing through food.

About Jessie Stephens: Jessie is a Sydney-based writer and podcaster with a Masters degree in History and Gender Studies. She co-hosts the brilliant and hilarious Mamamia Out Loud podcast, covering everything from pop culture to politics, feminism to fashion. For UK listeners, her podcast is like the Australian equivalent of The High Low with Pandora Sykes and Dolly Alderton, which is very high praise indeed. In 2021, Jessie published her first book, Heartsick, a collection of three non-fiction stories about love and loss and what happens in between.

In the first episode of Life in Food, I speak to Kris Hallenga, founder and CEO of the UK-based breast cancer education charity CoppaFeel!, about Food and Cancer. The discussion covers everything from nutrition to body positivity, guilt and shame - and eating cake with whipped cream at funerals. Delve into this episode for an uplifting chat with the author of the Sunday Times bestselling memoir Glittering a Turd.

About Kris Hallenga: Kris founded CoppaFeel with her twin sister Maren after being diagnosed with incurable (or stage four) breast cancer when she was 23. Thirteen years later, the charity raises £2m a year for its fundraising and is backed by celebrities including Dermot O'Leary and Fearne Cotton. While being treated for her cancer, Kris has run a half marathon, starred in a documentary, written a book, started a coffee and cake business, organised an annual music festival, won a Pride of Britain award and successfully campaigned to get cancer on the school curriculum in the UK. Her campaigning has helped saved countless lives by giving people the tools to understand their bodies so that if they are ever diagnosed with cancer, it is caught while it’s still treatable. She lives by the sea in Cornwall, England.
