I need your help to fund an 8-episode podcast to raise awareness of gynaecological and pelvic cancers so early detection is achieved.

In 2022, I was diagnosed with cancer of the vaginal wall, a rare and often misdiagnosed cancer.

I was lucky; I listened to my body, so I was able to self-advocate

many of the symptoms can be missed or thought to be other things

I'd like to produce a podcast raising awareness. I have a fantastic woman who will record and edit.

 The proceeds of this fund will pay for producing eight episodes and marketing

 

Welcome to "Tub Talks," a unique and innovative podcast season in which we explore feeling comfortable in our skin through insightful discussions in the soothing ambience of a bath. 

Our podcast delves into our relationship with ourselves using clothing as a powerful metaphor. Each episode sparks meaningful conversations around self-acceptance, authenticity, and what it's like to be you right now.

Accomplished Counselor, Breathwork Facilitator, and Intimacy Coordinator, to name a few

Episode Highlights:

Itchy Jumper: Reflecting on the discomfort of being in our skin, likened to wearing an itchy jumper.

School Uniform: looking at the belief systems we've learned and how they shape our self-perception.

Leather Jacket: Exploring the concepts of belonging, rebellion, and creativity associated with this iconic garment.

Birthday Suit: Delving into our inner relationship with our bodies and the impact on our nervous system.

Hospital Gown: This item relates to health, finding comfort in our bodies despite adversity, and promoting health awareness.

In addition to our engaging content, we are on a mission to raise awareness of gynaecological and pelvic cancers for all genders. Our podcast advocates for normalising self-checks beyond breasts and testicles, encouraging our audience to understand what's normal for them so early detection can happen.
