This weeks podcast is a lively and fun chat with plenty of good practical tips.Jinty and Lou talk to the wonderful Lauren Derrett, founder of the re-usable planet friendly period pads, Wear’em Out who shares her thoughts and advises on how we can change some of our habits to become more eco friendly. We learn how Lauren started Wear’em Out and why we need to consider our sanitary products. She is a mum of 4, and describes herself as not a full on eco-warrior but eco-curious and is aware of her responsibility to the environment. Lauren started her company Wear’em Out in 2019 and the first physical product was launched in January 2020 just before the global pandemic hit. We hear how Lauren has changed the way we think about reusable sanitary wear and why we should all be more eco-curious. She also shares her 3 eco tips for life.It was Mental Health Awareness last week, which got Jinty thinking about her Aunt Ann that had suffered from Anorexia Nervosa during WWll. Jinty was curious as this is often seen as a ‘modern’ disease so she did some research into the historical thoughts and treatments of this misunderstood illness and found some shocking medical methods that were recommended and carried out around the time The results will sadly shock everyone.
