The Talullah Talks Podcast

I'm back. While moving to France I took a little break from podcasts but I'm happy to say that I'm back and ready to continue throwing podcasts your way. This episode is  a little update and some useful life lessons I have learnt when confronted with scary new opportunities or when things don't quite go as you expect.

My role model for this week and every week; Iasha Masood. After dealing with the spotlight, pressure, and Lord Sugar on the Apprentice 2019 she has proven immense strength and ambition. Listen to her talk about how she taught herself the confidence she has now, how she bounced back, her experience as a businesswoman, and her success. An example to be followed for anyone who faces a setback, feels underestimated, and wants to be heard.

I apologise for the audio quality but I couldn't not release this. Edited and saved by Chris Pflanz.

Self-image, one of the most underestimated powers we possess. It affects our relationships, opportunities, experiences, our life. And yet, we are not taught how to control it or even that we have the ability to do so. This is something that I feel is crucial when trying to navigate your way through life and so I wanted to pass on some advice and information that I have come across and explain it in the most accessible way as possible.

The role model for this episode is Dr Hannah Bolland, a cancer biologist and that isn't even the coolest thing about her. Her positivity, humour and intelligence is awe-inspiring. In a world where anyone can publish anything, spread any facts, distort any information, how do we know what to believe? Listen to Hannah help dispel ridiculous, yet very common cancer myths, provide advice on sifting through fake news, give her three life tips she lives by to stay healthy and the tools she uses for a happy life. This episode is basically a public service announcement.

Keeping up the theme of divulging personal and somewhat embarrassing own experiences in the hope that you will learn from my mistakes, I decided to confront a topic that most of us can relate to... alcohol. I thought that I would put my drunken antics to use and provide 5 bits of advice to help prevent embarrassment, stay safe and ensure drinking stays enjoyable. Disclaimer, I am not encouraging alcohol consumption, I am simply providing words of wisdom that I wish I had heard when I was younger.

Join my discussion with the inspiring Denise Mclean as we talk about giving youth offenders hope, street crime, BLM, representation in the police force, dealing with rejection and breaking other people's narratives. As someone full of positivity, and relentless energy for the community and people around her, I had to share her wise words with you. 

Seeing as I told the story about my eating disorder from a first hand perspective, I thought it was essential to get Betsy on the podcast and talk about her experience of it as an outsider looking in. This is not an isolated disorder, it engulfs loved ones and so talking about their involvement is just as important.

Introducing my first role model; Jenny Mueller. An amazing woman, bringing together the community to create real change, focusing on using wasted food to solve food poverty. Listen to hear the invaluable lessons and advice she has learnt along the way.

You've heard from my older sister, now its time for my twin. Listen to us divulge our own personal experiences and thoughts on dealing with the cruel world of comparison, Photoshop, boys, and more, whilst celebrating the power of a group of drunk girls in the club toilets.

The time has come to call in back up a.k.a my big sister to talk all things female. The mean girl culture, slut shaming, sex, the importance of empowerment, and awareness.
