EPISODE 3: Denise Boomkens from "&Bloom."Denise is a Dutch photographer, model, content creator, mother, influencer and all-round EPIC woman. Now 49, she has redefined what 'getting older' can mean, interviewing and photographing beautiful, strong, inspiring women aged anywhere from 40 to 100, and learning from their stories of embracing life in ALL its forms and ages.To quote from Denise's website: "My goal is to inspire women worldwide to age unapologetically and to let go of the notion that our dreams have an expiration date after a certain age.In 2021, my first book, The Art of Ageing Unapologetically, was published, and I am currently working on my second book, which will be released in 2025—the year I turn 50." IIn this episode we discuss womanhood, motherhood, identity crisis, ageing naturally, peri-menopause, trolling, and how Dee built her "&Bloom" business from a fun side-project into a social media following of over 1 million, and a 2nd book on the way.You can follow her on Instagram here, and buy her first book here.Enjoy the show, thank you for ALL the follows and likes, and feel free to drop me a line via my Instagram with suggestions for future guests, podcast feedback or just to say hello.

Episode 2
Episode 2Host: @lizfraser1Guest: Abi Denniston – artist, content creator, comedian, genius and half of the internet comedy and artistic sensation that is Weird Watercolours. Abi is one of most delightful and insightful people I've ever come across.Our chat begins with how I first sent her a DM via Instagram in December 2024, to say thank you for how her "Troll of the Week" feature helped me laugh at mine, and it turned into a part love story - both of the formation Weird Watercolours and of how she and her partner in life and work, Audrey, met in lockdown - and a really beautiful, funny and thought-provoking chat about the power of the internet for both good and awful – how it can both push people to want to end their lives, and be a source of huge support and positivity and change people’s lives around for the better - much as it did hers.We laugh, we both, we talk about business, Tinder, trolling and therapy, and do so like two people with probably undiagnosed ADHD who have both consumed ALL the coffee, stuck their fingers in a live socket and got in a tumble dryer. (Don't try at that home.)Editing this was like trying to get an oiled octopus into a very small glove, but I hope I've managed - and I hope you enjoy it!Go follow @weird_watercolours now, and if you’re not following "What Doesn’t Kill You" then….what are you waiing for?!
