  • How Jamila Rizvi lives with a broken brain
    When Jamila was 31 she was diagnosed with craniopharyngioma - a rare brain tumour that would see Jamila undergo surgeries, radiation, scans, hospital stays and everything in between. Jamila has written about her experience of it all in the book ‘Broken Brains’ - which she co-authored with writer & podcaster Rosie Waterland who writes about her experience of trauma brought on by a childhood of abuse and neglect. In this episode, Laura & Jamila discuss the surprising similarities between Jamila and Rosie’s broken brains, and how society treats physical illness very differently to mental illness. Jamila shares about the reality of her own brain - including asking for help, her husband becoming her carer, her relationship to work, and the unfairness of being sick and young.

  • The reality of living with Type-1 diabetes & waiting for an organ transplant - with Rechelle Coombes
    Rechelle Coombes was diagnosed with Type-1 diabetes when she was 12. In her teens and early 20’s, Rechelle developed diabulimia (an eating disorder where diabetics restrict themselves of insulin) which landed her in hospital many times. As Rechelle got her diagnosis under control, Rechelle learned her kidneys were failing, which now means she is on the waiting list for a simultaneous kidney-pancreas transplant. In this episode we speak with Rechelle about the differences between Type-1 and Type-2 diabetes, the misconceptions and stigma surrounding both, everything that led up to the point of Rechelle needing an organ transplant, and how she is using her experience to give back. We want to thank Rechelle for being so open <3 GET HELP In the episode we talk about disordered eating.
