We'll talk you through the five different types of gynae cancer, symptoms to look out for and we'll also talk more broadly about our intimate health.

Outspoken Health is all about being BS free and giving the RIGHT information. It's not about scare-mongering. It's about spreading the word about women's health, because it's high time that we started taking it seriously!!

My guest this week has presented everything from Blue Peter to Top of The Pops to The Perfect Housewife. It's broadcaster and entrepreneur Anthea Turner.

Anthea and I talk about the current crazy cost of living and during the episode she gives some useful tips about how to save money. Anthea also delves into why having a tidy house is so important for her mental health and reflects on the pressure to look a certain way as a woman in showbiz. The conversation also leads to a chat about the colonoscopy she had for a documentary and why eating clean is important to her.

I really enjoyed how many unexpected directions this chat took and appreciated Anthea's honesty and excellent advice. It's a great episode.

In this episode we go through all of your options if you are noticing that you're losing hair. We also talk about the totally natural hair shedding that takes place after the summer (in other words, if you're losing more than usual right now it could be because it's Autumn.

This is a fascinating episode and I also think will be incredibly useful if this is something that you're experiencing.

*This episode is in partnership with Grin Oral Health*

In this episode I'm talking to a woman who I'm so lucky to have been working with over the past couple of months. Tara Tan is a truly inspiring entrepreneur who when she became a mum realised that she needed so much more from the oral health world both for her and her young daughter.

Tara and her co-founder husband and team have worked with scientists and dentists to create the most joyful and positive dental health brand. With a focus on the environment, beautiful ingredients and on helping to educate children about their dental health and supply products to those who live in hygiene poverty, this is a woman and brand that are doing serious good.

As part of our partnership, 100 Outspoken Beauty Trialling Panellists have been testing Grin flossers andPro-Enzyme Whitening Toothpaste and you'll hear their honest thoughts after the interview with Tara.

During the episode Zoe and I are talking about how easy it is to lose track of how much we drink and we explore the reasons why so many of us rely on a glass or two of wine after a stressful day. Zoe chats about how we can manage our drinking a bit more mindfully and why it's not necessarily about giving up totally.

We also talk about why midlife hangovers are VERY different to when we were younger, the importance of getting together with our friends and an excellent technique to lower anxiety quickly.

I adore Zoe and love her realistic and authentic advice.

*This episode is supported by Aesthetic Source*

It's such a pleasure to welcome the truly brilliant Dr Sophie Shotter back on the podcast.

In this episode Sophie and I are chatting about the shift in the types of treatments that are now on offer, specifically those that offer incredible skin health. In essence, rather than being about covering up wrinkles and hiding signs of ageing, this is all about ageing healthily and with a gorgeous glow.

Sophie and I focus in on two particular treatments. The first is called Sunekos and helps the skin regenerate and repair itself and the second is the first ever topical biostimulator. We also chat about why looking after our skin health is so important for the health of our entire body and Sophie shares lots of her brilliant wisdom.

This is a fascinating chat about a very welcome shift in how we think about caring for our skin and feeling good about ourselves. Wrinkles are officially in Outspoken Beauties!!

Joyce Connor - This Episode Is Guaranteed To Make You Feel Positive and Joyful!04 oct. 202600:47:20

She's definitely called Joyce for a reason. In this episode I'm chatting to one of the most positive and joyful women I've ever met, the makeup artist and beauty writer Joyce Connor.

Joyce's story is one of following her heart, making brave decisions and forging her dream career (all whilst being a single mum). It's also a story of making the most of every moment, embracing getting older and not being afraid to live alone.

If you're feeling stressed or trapped or just need a bit of a boost today then I know that by the end of this episode everything will feel better. Joyce is a woman who has lived through the harder times but manages to see the positive and sprinkle a bit of joy wherever she goes. A real must listen!! (Listen to the end for some great beauty recommendations too).

Break Out Of The Cage - Divina De Campo on Being Unapologetically You29 sept. 202600:40:00

What an absolute joy to welcome one of the stars of the very first series of RuPaul's Drag Race onto the podcast. My guest in this episode is the amazing Divina De Campo!

Divina is in the midst of one of the most challenging roles of her career (well 14 roles in total). She's taking on the role of Amanda in the one person musical monologue Amanda - The Night Before Me. (Tickets are available here)

During the episode we chat about Amanda which is a musical that takes place in the hours before her gender affirming surgery. As the clock ticks, she relives her entire life which is portrayed via the 14 different characters that Divina plays so brilliantly.

As well as delving into Divina's performance of a lifetime, we talk about their own life, journey to self-acceptance and escaping society's expectations. I learnt SO much from them about being bold, brave and about a book that gave them the courage to be the amazing person they are today.

If you feel stuck or that you are struggling to be the person who you really want to be, then I guarantee that you'll feel different when you've listened to this!

Outspoken Beauty x Gatineau: Glowing The French Way and A Female Founder Like No Other26 sept. 202600:55:49

*This episode is part of a wider partnership with Gatineau Skincare*

In this episode I'm chatting to the amazing Heather Berry. Heather is the Sales and Marketing Director of Gatineau Skincare and a woman who I have been getting to know over the last few months. (She's funny, outspoken and authentic...a true Outspoken Beauty!)

During the episode Heather tells me the story of Jeanne Gatineau, a woman who was way ahead of her time and founded her business in the 1930's when she was in her mid 40's. Jean was an aesthetician who truly understood skin and her legacy lives on to this day.

We go on to explore what makes Gatineau such a special brand .... the science, the independent clinical trials, the feel of the products, the excellent results AND the way it uplifts women. This is a brand that I rate incredibly highly and the more I use it the more I don't want to be without it. We'll talk you through some of their icons and explain why they're so good.

Keep listening as you'll also hear from four members of the Outspoken Beauty Trialling Panel. We've had 100 Outspoken Beauties trying the new Multi-Acid Resurfacing Pads and Bec, Zara, Lucy and Lauren will be giving their honest thoughts about them.

This is a great episode about one of my favourite skincare brands. I hope you enjoy getting to know them.

The Outspoken Beauty Editor - The Vitamin C Episode25 sept. 202600:17:16

Perdi Nouril is the Beauty Editor of Women's Health and I'm so lucky that she also joins me each week to do deep dives into the beauty industry, ingredients, trends and more. I also love the fact that she's not afraid to be outspoken.

This week we're having a much needed chat/reminder about why Vitamin C is such a good skincare ingredient and why. We're also talking about the different forms of Vitamin C, the one that is best for sensitive skin and brands that we really rate when it comes to formulating with this proven and brilliant ingredient.

In an industry that is brimming with newness and can feel very over-whelming, it's nice to go back to basics in this episode.

We're Not Lazy - We're Overstimulated!21 sept. 202600:09:38

Feeling exhausted and just want to sleep the whole time?

In this episode I'm chatting about my realisation that whilst I thought I was switching off, I was actually bombarding my brain and totally over stimulating myself which I think has led to a general feeling of exhaustion.

I'll tell you about something simple that I'm going to try and do in to make sure that my poor nervous system has a break.

Jo Fairley - The Beauty Bible Goes Iconic19 sept. 202600:41:07

My guest in this episode is beauty royalty. I'm really excited to welcome author, speaker, co-founder of Green & Blacks Chocolate, On The Scent Media AND The Beauty Bible, Josephine Fairley.

In this episode, Jo and I are delving into her brand new book, The Beauty Bible, Iconic Edition.

Jo and Sarah Stacey launched The Beauty Bible in 1996. The idea was to get women to independently trial products and give their honest opinions (much like the Outspoken Beauty Trialling Panel). The results were then shared via their first book The Beauty Bible and later on their website beautybible.com. Now, 30 years later, they've published their final book which features products that have stood the test of time, lots of tips and hints and interviews with some of the industry's greats. It's a book that every beauty lover will adore!

During the episode we chat about Jo's career, her Beauty Bible journey and how the beauty industry has changed over the years. We also delve into the book.

There is nothing about beauty that Jo doesn't know about. She's a true doyenne of the industry.

This week's edition of Outspoken Beauty Editor is an episode of two halves.

On the one hand we're celebrating Sarah Creal's new makeup brand (which Perdita will delve into for us) but on the other we're lamenting Elizabeth Arden's decision to go big with anti-ageing messaging.

The beauty industry can do so much good and bring so much joy but at times it really baffles us!

Outspoken Health - These Are The 10 Things All Women Over 40 Should Do To Protect Their Health01 sept. 202600:47:53

Outspoken Beauties! I am so excited to publish the first episode of OUTSPOKEN HEALTH, a brand new series with the utterly brilliant NHS GP (with an expertise in women's health), author and Media Dr, Dr Anisha Patel (@doctorsgetcancertoo).

I met Dr Anisha via The Eve Appeal and was so impressed by her knowledge and passion when it comes to women's health. I was as also in awe of the way that she was using her own experience of bowel cancer to help so many people.

Anyway, after a lot of chatting and planning, we are finally starting a series that I think is the most important that I have ever done on this platform. Outspoken Health is your place for BS and misinformation free health advice. This is the polar opposite of the overload of noise you are being fed on social media. It's evidence based, solid and trustworthy advice that you can confidently follow.

In this episode we start with the 10 things that you can do right now to invest in your health for the present and future.

We'd love any questions, comments and ideas for future episodes. We're here to help you!! Don't hesitate to DM us @outspokenbeautynicola or @doctorsgetcancertoo or email nicola@outspokenbeauty.co.uk

Cally Beaton - This is What Happens When You're 45 and Joan Rivers Tells You You Should Be A Comedian! (and why it's NEVER too late to chase your dreams.)29 août 202600:43:59

I was looking through my interview file the other day and my eyes nearly popped out of my head when I realised that I had somehow forgotten to publish this interview with Cally Beaton which we recorded last year. I mean I LOVED this interview. It inspired me so much and as we did it I was thinking about how much she was going to inspire you as well.

Anyway, I'm so very glad that I did find it and that you're getting the chance to listen to this brilliant comedian and author. When we recorded she was promoting her truly brilliant book Namaste Motherf**kers which is now celebrating its 1st birthday. If you haven't read it you simply must.

During the episode Cally talks about how she made the life changing decision to become a comedian at 45 (Joan Rivers told her that she should be one!!) and how she radically reinvented herself in midlife.

This is exactly what SO many of us need to hear and I just know that Cally will show you that we're only just getting started, whatever our age!!

The Outspoken Beauty Editor - These are Some of the biggest Misconceptions About K Beauty28 août 202600:23:44

Beauty Editor Perdita Nouril is back and this week we're doing a deep dive into some of the misconceptions around K Beauty.

We're talking about what Korean beauty experts REALLY think about topical PDRN, how many steps are really in a typical Korean skincare routine and why the trending Korean beauty product that you use in the UK may not have quite the same formula as the original.

Any topics you'd like us to get to the bottom of? Let us know with a DM or email nicola@outspokenbeauty.co.uk

A Tribute to Dolly Parton - Outspoken Beauty Style26 août 202600:12:28

I was so sad to hear about the passing of Dolly Parton and really wanted to pay tribute to her.

In this episode I'm talking about why if there was ever an example of an Outspoken Beauty it's Dolly.

I discuss the person who inspired her style, her refusal to please anyone but herself with her appearance, her beauty habits, why she loved Vaseline, her scent, her love of wigs and so much more.

I truly think that we all need to be a bit more Dolly and show up in the world in a way that makes us happy. Dolly never wanted to be fashionable. She created her own style and it made her an icon.

Holiday Anxiety and Really Affordable Eyeshadow Palettes19 août 202600:10:28

In this week's minipod I'm chatting about the suprising amount of people who feel anxious when they go on holiday and can't settle for the first few days, often not feeling fully right for a week.

I also chat about things to do with the kids in Paris and the things I liked (and didn't like so much) about the now infamous Citypharma.

How to Become More French (and much more confident)12 août 202600:07:37

In this little episode recorded from France I'm reflecting on what I've learning about confidence, especially having really observed the amazing women here.

I also compare becoming more self-confident to overcoming anxiety. It's a gradual process, you need to take yourself out of your comfort zone but eventually it gets easier.

Hope you find this inspiring xx

From The Vault: Anna Newton and Lily Pebbles - How to edit your beauty stash08 août 202600:39:08

I'm on my hols so am re-releasing one an oldie but a real goodie! It's with the amazing Anna Newton aka The Anna Edit and Lily Pebbles. Enjoy!!

In this episode I'm joined by Lily Pebbles and The Anna Edit to talk about how to pick and choose the very best beauty products and let go of the rest. You've heard about a Capsule Wardrobe, but how do you get a Capsule Beauty Collection?

Anna and Lily give advice about letting go of what you no longer need and also a list of the beauty products that have made their own personal edits. They also talk about true friendship, being honest with their followers and changing your beauty habits to be more environmentally friendly.

I also review the most INCREDIBLE new brand. It's called Wild and Precious and has impressed Nicola so much that it is going to be taking permanent residence in her (newly edited) collection.

International Lipstick Day Special With Eileen G'Sell28 juil. 202600:48:09

Happy International Lipstick Day Outspoken Beauties!

I have got the most brilliant and perfect guest for such an auspicious occasion!

Eileen G'Sell is poet, culture critic, university teacher and author of Lipstick, which joined Bloomsbury’s Object Lessons series earlier this year. I love the description of this utterly brilliant book:

"From Revlon to Glossier, from Marilyn to Gaga, lipstick is as shape-shifting and unwieldy as femininity itself. Who wears lipstick today – as a matter of routine? And for those who do, is it out of obligation to a strict feminine standard, or some other reason entirely? Lipstick reconsiders the beauty world's most conspicuous – and contentious – tool of artifice. Tossing expired ideas about femininity like so many tubes of melting wax, Lipstick explores how self-adornment can be a source of play, pleasure, and transformation, as well as how lipstick can knock gender norms off balance."

My chat with Eileen got me so over-excited. She is so intelligent and has such brilliant views about beauty, self-expression, femininity and feminism.

This is the perfect episode for a day that celebrates something that can feel so powerful and meaningful.

Genevieve Turley - On Career Explosions, New Homes and The Power of A Woman25 juil. 202601:01:36

Oh how I love this woman! Makeup artist, comedian and content creator extraordinaire Genevieve Turley is back. It's been a good few years since she was last on the podcast and it 's SO good to catch up with her.

Before I get into my chat with Gen I spend 10 minutes or so telling you in some depth about my experience with the Ziip Halo. This all came about when my most trusted aesthetician Pam Marshall recommended it to me. I've been obsessed ever since. This is a paid for section as Ziip were keen to support me but as ever it is totally unbiased and I hope you'll find it really informative. If you do decide that you would like to purchase one then follow this link and it will give you 10% off. If the link doesn't work then just head to ziipbeauty.co.uk and use the code OUTSPOKEN.

If You're Thinking of Having Microneedling, You Need To Hear This!19 juil. 202600:42:32

In this episode I'm joined by two icons of the beauty industry. Lesley Blair is CEO and Chair of BABTAC (British Association of Beauty Therapy and Cosmetology) and Candice Gardner is the Education Manager of Learning and Content at Dermalogica, where she develops and oversees educational content and training for skincare professionals across the UK.

Earlier this year I was incredibly inspired when I joined them at the Houses of Parliament for the launch of Sharp Standards, a UK-wide good practice guide and toolkit for micro-needling that is available to beauty practitioners across the UK. This industry shifting guide was authored by Candice on behalf of Dermalogica, in partnership with BABTAC.

During the episode we talk about:

  • The lack of legislation in the beauty industry and why they've been fighting for tighter laws in parliament for a long time
  • Why they realised that they had to take matters into their own hands
  • The questions we should all be asking when we have an aesthetic treatment
  • The risks of micro-needling and what we need to look out for
  • How to tell if a beauty practitioner has the right qualifications
  • Why Sharp Standards will help both beauty practitioners and customers to feel more confident
  • Why we should all be more aware of what can go wrong when we have beauty treatments

This is such a great listen. More than anything it helps empower us as consumers to know what we should asking and also helps beauty professionals to become fully confident in their business practice.

Stop Buying the Hype - Exposing Skincare Myths with Lorna Bowes04 juil. 202600:48:16

If you were to take a good long look at your skincare collection, there's a chance that some of the products you've spent your good money on won't be delivering on their promises. In a world of TikTok trends, aesthetic filters and clever marketing, we’ve been conditioned to buy into skincare hype that at times has little clinical proof behind it.

Well, in today's episode, we are stripping away the marketing fluff and looking at the science of skincare with my amazing guest Lorna Bowes. Lorna started her journey as an NHS dermatology nurse, has authored over 20 clinical papers, and is the founder of Aesthetic Source, the award-winning platform that brings clinically proven skincare technologies directly to top-tier clinics across the UK.

Lorna is no BS and SO knowledgable. If you're muddled about where you are with your skincare right now, I have a feeling that she's going to help you get back on track.
