It was great to sit down and talk with Jenny from Wish about a range of topics, but we particularly focused on women's mental health.

We discuss the support available for those leaving prison/ hospital, the potential difference between male and female health and hear a little about Jenny's own story.

If you would like to be involved in Wish's consultation or find out more about the topics we discussed, check the links below.

After not quite making it to the religion and faith topic of our last podcast episode, we finally sat down to talk this last week.

We each share our own views, beliefs, faiths and experiences. We don't all think the same thing, though we are on similar lines.

If you have different thoughts we would love to hear from you, please feel free to contact us on the details below.

It was great to sit down and talk with Brianna recently about sex and about the Juice Box App.

Sex, like mental health, is something often not spoken about which needs to change. Myself and Brianna discussed sexual encounters, failing sexual health education and respect.

Juice Box is a free app with paid functions available. The free functions include tips to learn about your body and what you like, becoming more body positive and developing your sexual experiences.

App: Juice Box
