WELCOME TO THE LIFE OF YOU!

The bonus series where we tackle your dilemmas and share advice for life’s trickier moments.

April is Bowel Cancer Awareness Month. This week, I’m joined by Ben James and Sarah Wieczorek - siblings of the late Dame Deborah James, also known as Bowelbabe.

In this special episode, we talk about how to support someone going through cancer, what grief has taught them about showing up, and the real emotions behind running for someone you love.


Together, we answer your questions on:

💬 How to stay motivated when you’re running in memory of someone you love

🤔 What to do or say when your best friend has just been diagnosed with cancer

💡 The power of small actions—like dropping off dinner, picking up kids, or just being there


🚽 TOILET TALK – THE VIDEO SERIES

Toilet Talk is a bold new video series from the Bowelbabe Fund and Cancer Research UK—featuring celebs on a neon-lit loo, smashing taboos one laugh at a time.

💩 CHECK YOUR POO!

https://www.bowelbabe.org/

Debs saved lives by saying the unsayable: check your poo.

It’s not weird. It’s not embarrassing. It’s just good sense.

Know the signs, trust your gut—and if something feels off, talk to your GP. It could save your life.
