It takes an average of 7 years for a woman to be diagnoses with Endometriosis. Aside from the physical pain, the journey is mentally challenging and support from the healthcare system is slow at best, insufficient and underfunded at worst. Here is my story. 

I'm sharing this story for any women who feels her pain has been neglected, overlooked and not listened to by the healthcare providers who are supposed to offer us compassion and support. love x

GSpeaks S1,E1: Finding Beauty amidst fear and uncertainty

G Speaks Ep 2

Today we delve deep into what it is us locked-down and naturally social creatures are missing most of all; the pub. What is it about the pub that brings people together? As I walk through the city I live in, I listen to the silence speak to me about the nature of our sociality and our gathering places.

I encourage readers to suggest topics for future shows, what is it you miss? Is there anything you've noticed about yourself or our society that you'd like to look at in more detail? if so, get in touch at:

As always, I wish my listeners love and health!

G Speaks S1 E2

Here I share with my listeners the kindest words I wish I could tell my younger self. Often when we experience adversity, we can blame ourselves, the fragmented circumstances can lead us to look for inconsistencies within ourselves and our life journeys, which only causes  us more pain. 

Here is an extract from the introduction: 

I am sitting in a reflective corner of my life, leaning out through time, wanting to extend a hand to my younger self, and tell her: ‘you are not a failure or an idiot, or weakened because of your fears. You are not inferior, or alone in the way you sometimes feel; you are just going through a hard time, you are only broken-hearted'.

I hope these words of kindness can help anyone else who is hurting, lost and confused at this moment in time.
