Conversations with… Natasha (Subject: Adult Eczema, Topical Steroid Withdrawal and Confidence)
Eczema isn’t something I have ever had. My sister had it on the backs of her knees for a short period of time when she was little and I taught children who had patches of it, but as far as understanding eczema, that’s where my knowledge ends. Since starting this blog and participating in conversations…

Conversations with… Lynne (Subject: Mental Health and Founding a Travel Business)
I love that social media has helped to make mental health something that is better understood. There’s still a long way to go until mental health conversations are fully normalised, but we are making progress. We wouldn’t be as far along as we are now if it weren’t for people like Lynne. Lynne is a…

Conversations with… Kayleigh (Subject: Founding Obscene Self Love)
As a writer, I both love and fear words. I can’t count the number of messages I have had from people telling me that my words have made their day; I also can’t count how many times my words and their intention have been misinterpreted. Kayleigh is someone who knows the power of words and…

Conversations with… Amanda (Subject: Surviving Cancer and Creating a Charitable Business)
I like to interview people who use their experiences to help others. What can I say, spreading a bit of positivity in the world is needed right now. The people I interview are incredible – their positive attitudes and the inspirational, ‘you can do it’ nature of their stories makes a difference in the world.…

Conversations with… Cassy (Subject: PCOS)
For those of you that don’t know, I am one of the 1 in 10 women who have PCOS. PCOS, or Polycystic Ovary Syndrome, is what the name suggests and then so much more – irregular periods, hormone imbalances, acne, weight gain, fertility struggles, excess hair growth, thinner hair on your head, headaches, mood swings……

Conversations with… Joelle (Subject: Death and Why We Need To Talk About It)
When we are born, the only thing that is certain about our life is that one day we will die. How and when are unknown, but one day our time will come. For most people, that idea is terrifying. The idea of being here one day and not the next is enough to make most…

Conversations with… Bea (Overcoming a Life Changing Break Up)
Do you remember your first heartbreak? Of course you do – everyone does. I was seventeen and had only ever had a crush on one person since the first day of secondary school. He was my first kiss two months before my seventeenth birthday, but our lives were heading in different directions and it just…

Conversations with… Michéla Abert (Subject: Disability and Owning Your Own Business)
Social media has lots of positives, from connecting with others, publishing creative outlets for the world to see, finding likeminded people to talk to, sharing things that could potentially help others. When used right, social media is a hub of possibility. Michéla Abert is someone who uses social media right. Michéla is a 20 year…

Conversations with… Kayleigh (Journey to Self Love)
I was first introduced to Kayleigh through the wonderful The 88 and Friends, an online platform that celebrates and welcomes everyone that she co-founded with Mrs Dani Crater. As one of half of the duo that I argue are the nicest, most positive people on the internet, it’s easy to look at Kayleigh with her…

Conversations with… Louise Mence (ADHD and Late Diagnosis)
When I was a teacher, we received a lot of training on different conditions that could could impact the behaviour, learning and cognition of the children we taught. We were told it was vital that if we suspected something, we should report it. The sooner a condition was diagnosed, the earlier help could be offered…
