Where has 2019 got to? It’s hard to believe we’re already into June, nearly halfway through the year. And yet, as the months race by, here I am still getting caught up on sharing updates about the work I did in April and May! The first of these articles tells the story of Dafina, a […]
After a very busy March, it was a relief to have a slightly calmer April, providing time to catch my breath, take stock, and focus on exciting personal projects and events – including my younger brother’s beautiful wedding over the Easter bank holiday weekend. Several of the articles I’ve written more recently were for print […]
March was a busy month, both for freelance work and over at Hysterical Women, where we had a month-long focus on endometriosis, followed by a Mothers’ Day spotlight on the damaging stereotype of the ‘neurotic mother‘. I also wrote an Endometriosis Awareness Month piece for Refinery29, looking at why women with the condition still struggle […]
In March I wrote a number of pieces on women’s health, including a feature for Grazia looking at the impact of menstrual ill health on women’s careers, and one for Patient on how to tackle acne when you’re pregnant. How Your Period Could Be Costing Your £40,000 In Lost Earnings – for Grazia: From endometriosis […]
In February I started working with a new commercial client on content around mental health and community treatment teams. I also wrote pieces for Broadly and Patient, the former looking at a little known gynaecological condition called lichen sclerosus, and the latter looking at what it’s like to live with chronic pain. Doctors Thought I […]
I realised recently that, while I’ve been keeping Hysterical Women updated on a more or less weekly basis, it’s been more than three months since my last proper work update over here. Although my work around Hysterical Women has been sucking a lot of my time lately, there’s also a backlog of freelance work that […]
November’s features for Grazia, The Pool, and BBC Three covered a pretty interesting range of subjects: anxiety, addiction, sex, millennials, periods, fertility, and the menopause. ‘I’d Treat Myself With Diazepam In The Way People Treat Themselves To A Glass Of Wine After A Stressful Day’ – for Grazia: Lena Dunham this week revealed that she’s […]
I’ve been back at Google Arts & Culture over the last couple of months, working with them and the team from Clarence House on a new digital project to celebrate the Prince of Wales’s 70th birthday. It’s been a bit of a change from my usual areas of work, but after all the fun we […]
In October I launched a new blog, Hysterical Women – a project I’ve been thinking about and wanting to explore for quite a long time now. Visually it looks pretty similar to this one, but I wanted to create a dedicated space to focus on one specific strand that’s come up over and over again […]
