Joining me on the podcast this week is the brilliant Melissa Thompson. Melissa talks openly about racism and growing up in Dorset and Suffolk and how much we have still to do. We then go onto chat about her coming out and being a lesbian mother and how gay women are represented by the media. And then it is time for food chat and how we think about eating and our relationship with our bodies. Melissa has the most delicious food account on Instagram, follow her @fowlmouthsfood. We recorded this back before lockdown in her magnificent kitchen and she cooked me an amazing breakfast. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This week I am joined by the dynamic duo of Helen and Maya, the women behind the London community arts project Featured in Fifteen - think TED talks, but set in a pub with a diverse range of creatives and individuals with a story to tell. These fabulous women talk about their friendship, why it is so important to share our stories and how their relationship with their bodies has changed over time. Helen shares why she wants to focus on strength training for her physical and mental health and what it is like to be a twin. And Maya discusses her hysterectomy, her background and the women in her family. These are two very inspiring women and I know you'll love them as much I do. Enjoy!

In this episode we discuss all things fannies and flaps with the brilliant physiotherapist and comedian, Elaine Miller. Elaine is the woman behind Gusset Grippers, and is taking the shame and stigma out of talking about pelvic floors and incontinence. She explains why we need to start having honest conversations about vaginas, wetting ourselves and why teenagers should be handed a mirror during sex education. Elaine is performing a hit comedy show at the Edinburgh Fringe right now, and is writing a book about pelvic floors, which is due for release in 2020.
