Ep 190: GIRLvsCANCER with Lauren Mahon

Lauren Mahon is an inspirational bad-ass. She was diagnosed with breast cancer in her early 30’s and is now, quite literally changing the face of cancer. She joins Harriet, Natalie and guest-host June Sarpong (standing in for Emma’s week off), in the studio this week, to talk about being fed up with the perceptions that cancer is a disease for the over 50’s. Lauren chats about how she started GIRLvsCancer, a place for fierce women affected by the disease, to ‘feel empowered to deal with the sh*t show that a diagnosis means’.In the news, Harriet, Natalie and June discuss botox on the high street following this week’s announcement that Superdrug will now offer in-store cosmetic injections; the detrimental impact of appalling no fault evictions with Hannah Slater, Policy and Public Affairs Manager at Generation Rent, a not-for-profit campaign group for private renters and of course, pay tribute to Queen Badass Aretha Franklin, who sadly passed away this week.Get your mitts on some delicious GIRLvsCANCER t-shirts here https://girlvscancer.co.uk - on the website you can also discover more about Lauren’s story, tips, support and how you can get involved in this wonderful cause.For information on all your hosts you can click on their names:Harriet MinterNatalie CampbellJune SarpongIf you want to get in touch you can find us on all the socials under this name: @badasswomenshrAnd for more about the podcast head here: https://www.badasswomenshour.com Hosted on Acast.
