Book Your Smear, Check Your Bits: A Story of Cervical Cancer, A Sisters Grief and Continuing the Fight
On this award winning podcast we talk about the parts of life stretching us to our limits, the necessary growth and the marks left behind.
Stretch marks don't just happen on our bodies - they happen throughout our lives.
Siobhain Gibbons joins Sinead on Stretch Marks to share the story of her sister, Eileen Rush.
Eileen was diagnosed with cervical cancer in December 2018, at 33.
She became a blogger and advocate, and her slogan was "Check your bits.
We talk about:
Who Eileen was: a single mum at 21 who took no bull and was her sister's soulmate and chief bridesmaid.
Eileen's diagnosis, treatment and the year that followed, and her message to get your smear test and the HPV vaccine.
How surgical menopause hit Eileen overnight, and why women so often dismiss their own symptoms.
Siobhain's own journey: a traumatic birth, a triple prolapse, a hysterectomy at 36 and learning what "sleepy ovaries" means.
Miscarriage, grief, redundancy and losing her sense of identity.
Starting her own business supporting women returning to work after maternity leave.
This is an honest conversation about the shame and silence around women's health.
It is also about carrying on a loved one's voice, and being kinder to yourself.

The Pressure Has to Come Off: Why Women Are Burning Out - Kelly Connor _ Millhouse
On this award winning podcast we talk about the parts of life stretching us to our limits, the necessary growth and the marks left behind.
Stretch marks don't just happen on our bodies - they happen throughout our lives.
Kelly Connor on career pressure, motherhood, and why the pressure has to come off.
Kelly Connor joins Sinead for a candid conversation about the stretch of midlife: juggling work, young children, ageing parents, and the pull to rethink what success looks like.
Kelly shares how building a home with little money shaped her fearlessness, and how becoming a mother changed her priorities, her pace, and her definition of a good life.
We also get into the emotional load of parenting, the pressure women feel to keep doing more, and why exercise is not about punishment or perfection but staying mentally and physically well.
All the good stuff!! let's go. xx
