About this episode

<p>Hello all you Private Parters, welcome back to the podcast where nothing is off limits!</p><br><p>It's Friday and to help kickstart your weekend, we've got another fantastic episode for you today. Jamie is joined by the incredible Lauren Mahon. Lauren, aka Lozza, is an activist as well as a charity founder, podcast host and cancer survivor.</p><br><p>Lauren was diagnosed with breast cancer aged 31, after finding a lump. She couldn't find a place where people were speaking openly and honestly about cancer, so she launched<em> Girls vs. Cancer </em>on <a href="https://instagram.com/girlvscancer/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Instagram,</a> which is now a charity, which you can check out <a href="https://girlvscancer.co.uk/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">here. </a></p><br><p>In this completely unfiltered chat, Lauren talks all things cancer, from her diagnosis to her aggressive chemotherapy to getting the all clear. She also talks about how her diagnosis completely changed her whole outlook on life, her previous podcast <em>You Me and the Big C, </em>mental health and so, so much more. This really is an incredibly raw, honest and candid episode, and it's not one to miss.</p><p><br></p><ul><li><strong>For more information on breast cancer, including how to check your breasts, click </strong><a href="https://coppafeel.org/breast-cancer-info-and-advice/how-do-i-check/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>here.</strong></a></li><li><strong>For more information on Future Dreams and the support they can provide, click </strong><a href="https://futuredreams.org.uk/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>here.</strong></a></li><li><strong>To follow Lauren on Instagram, click </strong><a href="https://www.instagram.com/iamlaurenmahon/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>here.</strong></a></li></ul><p><br></p><p><strong>Don't forget to follow us on all our socials by clicking</strong><a href="https://privateparts.komi.io/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong> here</strong></a><strong>, and make sure you don't miss out on our weekly episodes by subscribing!</strong></p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
