So is this a newsletter or a column or a post or…. it’s kind of all of this. Subscribe below to follow what I’m writing about.
This is new to me, so it will evolve as I go, but this is where I’ll write about all things life through a funny, feminist lens; culture, women’s health, daft things I've noticed or thought about this month. All with the over-arching mantra I live by- there’s always time for a laugh (my dad) and everything is copy (Nora Ephron).
I’m the trusted friend who always gets asked what to watch/listen to/see/read/go see- I think the film degree helps- so I’ll also be offering some brilliant recommendations too- with series SOMETHING TO LOOK FORWARD TO.
As I say in my book PRIVATE PARTS, health (or being ill) isn’t all of you but it is part of you- the trick is to learn how to live a brilliant life alongside stuff and not defined by it!
I write about lots of things so this ‘part of me’ is filed under THE REST IS WOMEN(‘S HEALTH) and it’s where you’ll find new & archive stuff on women’s health, endometriosis and advocacy work- interviews, podcasts, articles.
**Please note this is an inclusive space. While I refer to women/woman it's vital to note that these issues affect those assigned female at birth who don't identify as women, including transgender men & non-binary people, everyone is welcome and seen.
