FooFoo Talks Venetia Clark

In this week's episode of FooFoo Talks Venetia and her guest, Pip Rymill, discuss all things Uterine Fibroids.
Fibroids are a benign tumours that grows in, outside or in the muscle of a woman uterus and 80% by the age of 50 will have them, making that 1 in 3 woman.
Both Pip and Venetia have been through very traumatic journeys with fibroids, similar in ways but also very different, highlighting how every woman's journey is totally unique and HCP's need to stop treating women as "all the same".
This is a follow on from episode 1 and the start of a monthly episode where a new women discuss her fight with fibroids and how it's impacted her life, creating awareness of this hugely debilitating illness.

In Episode 6, Venetia is joined by by the incredible Katie O'Gorman to discuss what it's like to experience a miscarriage and the journey of Infertility.
It is a raw, honest and a needed conversation about a topic that is seemingly seen as taboo.
1 in 4 women will experience a miscarriage yet they are made to feel ashamed, inadequate and not good enough because of the stigmas society has created, this has to stop.
This episode is very truthful, painful and a real journey of what it's like for a women to go through something that is totally unimaginable.

In this episode Venetia is joined by her Mother, where they discuss Lesley's open and truthful approach to bringing up her children.
Think Gillian Anderson's character from Sex Education and that's the style of relationship Venetia and her Mother have when it comes to discussing sex, accept Venetia has found it an amazing form of support throughout her life, rather than an embarrassment.
We find out where the name FooFoo came from, the hilarious things children say about sex, the taboo of using a tampon in Lesley's youth and what it's like for a Mother to help her child when they are at their most vulnerable times.
The episode is full of laughter, honesty and showcases a beautiful relationship between and Mother and her Daughter.

Episode 4 discusses all things Postpartum Depression and Venetia is joined by Sezen Tatlıcı, a Mother who bravely tells listeners about her journey with Postpartum Depression.
Sezen gives an in-depth account of how that has effected her Mental Health and subsequently how it has shaped Motherhood for her.
The episode also delves into the challenges of what it's like to develop a Mental Health Illness and if there is enough support out their for women and men experiencing this silent illness.
* Please note the topics in this episode include Postpartum Depression, Mental Health, Bulimia and Subside - topics some listeners many find extremely difficult and triggering.

This week Venetia is joined by three women who are living with Endometriosis and listeners will get a first hand and in depth account into what it is like to live with this illness.
Endometriosis is being called "One of the biggest women's health crisis's of our time", yet why is it we still know so little about this illness and how to support the loved ones we know living through such a difficult time?
The episode is raw, vulnerable and a truthful account of how the lives of these women and millions of others are being effected by Endometriosis.

This week Venetia talks to the girls from Bring Your PPE Podcast, where we discuss the good, bad, and all our journey's with The Pill.
Expect a lot of laughter (Venetia ripping a up a Wedding dress in Dubai Mall...), but also a mixture of relatability and differences as we learn how every women has such a unique experience while being on or coming off The Pill.
