Better Relate Than Never Gillian Magee

Charlotte Twinley is a fantastic advocate for anyone who is living with a stoma bag. She is pushing the boundaries and showing people that, no, it doesn't smell and YES, you can still feel and be sexy. It doesn't define her and her worth is so much more than that. We will be chatting about all sorts of body acceptance campaigns she has done. 

Honestly, once you listen to this chat, you will fall in love with Charlotte's kind and genuine attitude to living her life to the fullest even after colostomy surgery.

In this first episode of Better Relate Than Never I talk to the incredible Venus Libido who is so honest and real. She is an inspiration to girls and women worldwide. Venus creates a space for herself to be both self-appreciative and self-deprecating in an equal measure through her fabulous illustrations. We talk about the new dating app hud_app that tolerates no sexual harassment and unwanted dick pics. We discuss different levels of consent and also exciting sex toys.

In the end, I also mention her battle with her chronic illness endometriosis which is a painful condition (and even worse around a woman’s period, the pain can be bad enough without a condition so imagine!). It’s similar tissue to the lining of the womb and starts to grow in other places (causes difficulty to get pregnant). 



Here is how you can help Venus her the surgery she deserves:
