In 2017, Lauren was awarded an OBE for her services to design and diversity.Together we explore:1) What internalised misogyny really is- and how to recognise it2) How judgment of women by other women is driven by social conditioning and invisible 'rules'3) The role of media in reinforcing harmful gender stereotypes4) How to unlearn internalised bias and rewire confidence5) The personal moment Lauren realised she had internalised misogyny- and what changed after that6) The story behind make-up free moments, with celebrities like Pamela Anderson, and how they still provoke judgmentand more!Our Book Club gets under way and we discuss the first 2 chapters of our book for this series, How To Kill A Witch.

From health and hormones to family, relationships, equity, and the realities of menopause, we tackle the topics that matter—especially the ones society often shies away from.Menopause might not be our sole focus, but it’s a conversation that keeps coming up—for good reason. With the help of expert guests, including Menopause specialists, GPs, Gynaecologists, Nutritionists, Sleep Therapists, Cancer Survivors, Advocates, and Campaigners, we provide evidence-based facts, real-life experiences, and the support you deserve.Beyond the podcast, we take action. We founded Exmouth’s first Menopause Café, giving women a space to connect, and launched the #WheresMyClinic campaign, fighting for an NHS Menopause Clinic in Devon. We’ve even spilled the tea live on BBC Radio Devon, hosting their first-ever menopause café.So, whether you’re navigating the ups and downs of hormones, curious about the latest health insights, or just here for the relatable stories (and occasional faux pas), grab a cuppa and join us.It’s time to spill the tea—because the conversations we have today can change the way we live tomorrow.
