As an adult with CF this is so motivating. thanks for sharing xx
wow!! what an amazing inspirational women. brilliant episode.
love this episode! t o of my favourite women!
this is a really great podcast! I love the format of these podcasts anyway, but I love Claire's story because it is relatable in some aspect as to how we as women in the UK feel or have felt about our bodies. I love that the platform is being used to create awareness, and as well as for the younger generation I think it would be great for people of my mums generation (born in the 60's)to learn more too. if these young girls are not educated they can grow to have depression as adults, and a little empowerment and information goes a long way.x
A truly courageous and inspirational story ,Martine Wright.
This podcast is one of the best I've listened to - Alice is a natural and genuine host and the guests have been super interesting and inspiring so far. Cant wait for more!
love this podcast and love how open and honest conversations are - only the first episode but can't wait to hear more!
