Raise Her Up

The Lowdown on Breasts


Listen Later

Breasts. A body part. A source of nutrition, of insecurities, of worry, of sexual desire. Our relationship with breasts is complex, and may change at various points throughout our lives. As we watch our daughters grow up, we want them to feel acceptance and confidence in their changing bodies, without health, social or sexual factors influencing their perspective. 

In this episode to mark Breast Cancer Awareness Month, our guest is speaker, author, and podcaster… Dr Liz O’Riordan.

As a former breast surgeon who has herself had and recovered from breast cancer, she’ll talk us through all things breast-related, what’s normal and healthy, and what to expect from them at various times of our lives and cycles. She’ll also share her insights into the cultural side of breasts, taking in identity, women's relationships with their bodies, and how breasts are treated in our society and media.
