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… 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… Segilola Salami (Subject: Writing, Grief and Being a Self Made Success)
Working as a writer, I am constantly finding myself in awe of others in the writing community. So many people I have connected with balance full time careers, families, illnesses and other pursuits with their writing. Some people have written all their lives whilst some have started later on in life. For some people, writing…

Through writing this blog and sharing my work on social media, I have been introduced to many wonderful people, charities and organisations that work every day to make the world a little better, a little kinder.

Conversations with… Angie Brewer (Subject: Transitioning)
It’s hard to imagine what it must feel like to be born into a body that you don’t recognise as your own. It’s hard to imagine having gender stereotypes forced upon you, feeling the need to comply and fit in with ideologies that are directly opposed to how you think and feel, wearing clothes you…

For all of the criticism of social media, I can’t deny the positive of it allowing you to find people that are like you. When I was growing up, I never really saw anyone else with a visible birthmark. There was one girl at my primary school who had one on her arm and my…

Conversations with… Bethany Gregory (Subject: Chasing Dreams/Life as an Actress)
When we watch television or go to the theatre, we rarely ever think of the hard work that goes on behind the scenes. We sit and we watch for a few hours, immersed in a make believe world, never once stopping to think of the time spent designing sets and costumes, the weeks of long,…

Conversations with… Raven Swaine (Subject: Overcoming Cancer – Hodgkin’s Lymphoma)
I met Raven when I was 18 through a friend who had invited me out with her group of friends. I remember feeling absolutely terrified to walk into a strangers house and meet an already established friendship group. Nobody wants to be the new girl, but there I was, the only one there in jeans,…

Conversations with… Sam Beggins (Subject: Chasing Dreams/Graphic Design)
Without a doubt, one of the best things about the internet is being able to reach out and meet new people. Social media has become a place for people to share their passions and talents with a wider audience and I have loved being able to marvel in the creative abilities of others online. Sam…

Conversations with… Louise Scrivener (Subject: Mental Health/Charity Work)
As a writer who spends their time looking for the good things that happen in every day life, I spend most of my days with a warm, fuzzy feeling inside. Usually I spot the good things by simply walking along the road or flicking through my Instagram feed, but today’s interview with Louise came about…
