| That nip and tuck with Dr Faisal Salim | 15 Feb 2022 | 01:03:02 | |
We are huge advocates of body positivity and no, that does not mean accepting parts of your body that you’re not necessarily a huge fan of, if you do not want to. If you’re able to safely change or enhance something, and in turn that makes you feel happier about yourself, we say do it! We have the pleasure to sit down with the renowned and sought after British cosmetic surgeon Dr Faisal Salim to talk all things nip and tuck. We discuss everything from botox and fillers to tummy tucks and breast augmentation. He has become quite the name when it comes to the ‘Mummy Makeover’, which was a new but super interesting thing to us! Its more common than not that when we become mothers, we unfortunately become more self-conscious and unhappy about our bodies due to the huge changes it goes through. We openly discuss our excitement towards having our boobs done in the near future and Dr Faisal talks us through a few of the most common procedures. This episode is a real goody, whether you’re in the market for a nip and a tuck or not.

| Losing your baby with Emma Belle | 14 Oct 2021 | 00:44:12 | |
This weeks episode is bought to you in support of Baby Loss Awareness Week. After 5 rounds of fertility treatment and 1 early loss Emma Belle fell pregnant, however was devastatingly told that her baby girl was in fact very poorly in utero and would most likely not survive. Emma talks us through her journey of termination for medical/maternal health reasons, as well as the support she does as a mentor for others having gone or going through similar circumstances. This incredibly raw, open and vulnerable experience is one that is very hard to tell, as well as listen to. However, it raises the volume on a topic that needs to be discussed more, in order to inform and support others going through loss.
