We love a bit of bush talk and before you get excited for learning how to survive in the wilderness this isn't that kind of bush.We discuss our own hairy legs, pits, arms and vulvas and go through the various processes we have of removing any unwanted hair from them. Not only do we realise that there is a lot of social pressure on us to remove the hair from these areas, but we have also become adjusted to feeling smoother in those areas too.So whether you're a landing strip, a Hollywood or a full bush let us know why you choose that style.If you would like to continue the conversation, please do join us in our FREE The Feeling Female AF Lounge on Facebook.

In this episode we speak to Mel Meik about her experience with becoming hairless at age 20, just prior to her 21st Birthday.Mel found a treatment that worked for her and amazingly her hair grew back.Sadly this was fairly short lived, as at age 25 she experienced further hairloss only this time it didn't affect the whole head. From working through the reasons behind these traumatic events and spending time to allow herself to heal Mel fully recovered. The work she put into herself helped her to discover a new career path in hypnotherapy, Emotional freedom technique (EFT) and psychotherapy. Her belief is that she lost her hair for a reason and without those experiences she wouldn't have moved into a career were she is able to support others dealing with traumas and other conditions.She continues to work on herself daily and combats her stresses with breathwork, yoga and meditation.To contact Mel regarding hynotherapy or EFT you can find her on www.hypnotherhappy.com or Instagram @hypnotherhappy or facebook (1) Hypnotherhappy | FacebookIf you would like to continue the conversation, please join us in our FREE The Feeling Female AF Lounge on Facebook.

Who doesn't love talking about their cervix?! We certainly do!In this episode we run through our experiences of having a nurse look up your skirt and poke your cervix.With 1 in 4 women skipping their invite to a cervical screening we wanted to highlight the importance of looking after your lady bits.

In this episode Kate speaks to Vicky about the steps she took to experience a self date around our beautiful city of Liverpool. We discuss self care, self love and our understanding of its importance in our lives. Although this is spoken about from the perspective of a single woman, the reality is that we all need to focus on this type of care and love for ourselves.Self dating teaches you important lessons. From enjoying your own company to how you wish to be treated by others. It also proves to you that you don't need to wait for someone else to do it for you or with you. Phrases we love to explain this include, ‘Putting your own oxygen mask on first before assisting others' or ‘filling up your own cup'. They have the same message and that message is it's you that matters first and foremost. You are the one that needs care and attention just as much as your family, friends, pets or work. It's extremely important to realise that how you treat yourself is key. It enables you to be able to support others when needed, to push harder when required, or to relax and enjoy life. Only you can truly understand you and have your own back. #Liverpool #albertdock #larklane #brascolounge #selflove #selfdate #selfcare #loveyourself #self #selfworth #selfawareness #selfesteem #solotravel #solotraveller #relaxinglyactive #Gadventures #liverpoolmuseum #feelingfemaleaf #womenshealth #knowyourcycle #menstruation #periodpower #feminine #respectyourcycle #podcast #realwomen #women #safeplace #sharing #confidence #feelings #real #podcasting #wellness #health #honestEpisode is LivePublished: Jan. 27, 2021 @ 4AM EditUnpublishAdd a TranscriptGet episode better indexed by search engines.Add Chapter MarkersListeners can tap through & see what's coming up.Visual Soundbite AvailableSquare Soundbite - 0:29Great for Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
