WARNING: This episode contains sensitive material around suicide. This week Natalie is joined by broadcaster & radio DJ Stephanie Hirst to talk her 3 decades in radio, making the life changing decision to live as her true authentic self and building back better and stronger than ever. During this insightful conversation Steph emotionally details her road to transition as she candidly opens up about living the first part of her life being assigned male at birth. She discusses being at the height of her career anchoring the national chart show whilst being at her lowest ebb having to live as a man. She recounts the numerous times she was put off transitioning by doctors and given the warning that if she decided to live as her true self she could end up losing everything. Steph bravely informs Natalie that in the end it became a life or death decision. We hear how Steph chose to follow her heart and transition and has since made a new life for herself being the person she always wanted to be and how she is using her own experiences to inspire others with her Believe Achieve personal development programme. Steph also talks returning to her first love of radio broadcasting and how she feels excited for the future and the new opportunities she wants to pursue. Listen in for a truly inspirational conversation.

This is part two of John Fox's chat with Stephanie Hirst. Part one covered her early career, so we pick up here with her time at Galaxy 105, Hit40UK and generally taking over the radio world. She chats about leaving Viking for Galaxy ("It was all a bit of a mess"); explains the on-air magic she had with JoJo and Danny; and presenting the chart from Alan Partridge's studio.

We could write anything here and it wouldn't matter because you just want the sweet, sweet Stephanie Hirst content. But I'm duty-bound to write at least a few words on the first of two episodes featuring one of UK radio's biggest and most loved personalities. In this episode: Toolan gives a young Steph some sage advice; how she pestered her way into a gig on Minster FM ("I AM what you're looking for"); and how her first, illicit, on-air shifts were curtailed by an itemised phone bill. So enjoy this episode, and keep an eye out for part 2 coming soon after. You could subscribe so you don't miss it. Just a thought...

In this episode, Jeannette speaks to Maggie Watts, who is fighting to raise awareness of pancreatic cancer and get more funding for research and treatment. She has done so with great success. To the point where people like the actress Julie Hesmondhalgh, who played Hayley Cropper in Coronation Street, Joey Barton the footballer, the DJ Stephanie Hirst and Lorraine Kelly joined her campaign. Today, thanks to her efforts and those of other campaigners this cancer attracts more funding, but there is still a lot to be done.   Maggie explains how her husband and family embraced the time he had left and shares some of the many lessons she learned then. Lessons and skills that stayed with her and have continued to drive her forwards. Maggie and Jeannette also talk about how to tackle difficult conversations, how having a clear purpose, a positive mindset and never giving up means you can achieve incredible things in life.   KEY TAKEAWAYS There is still not enough awareness of pancreatic cancer and research into the disease is woefully underfunded. The survival rates for pancreatic cancer are low, partly because of delays in diagnosis. GPs frequently miss pancreatic cancer, so you need to be aware of the symptoms (** see our list of symptoms below) You may have to actively ask your doctor to consider pancreatic cancer as a potential cause of your symptoms. There is a tendency for doctors not to look at your symptoms in totality to treat each one individually – don´t be afraid to remind your doctors of your full list of symptoms. Being able to challenge in a respectful yet effective way is an important skill. The medical team are the experts, but it should never stop you from doing your own research and discussing what you have found with them. Don´t be afraid to challenge if something doesn´t feel right. There are mechanisms available that you can use to force change using the political system. Twitter is a good way to gain momentum for a campaign and find influencers and celebrities who will get on board. Ideally, you need someone who has a high profile to get involved to keep the momentum going. Tenacity, a positive mindset, and pulling together as a team really does enable you to beat the odds and get the exposure your cause needs. You only fail when you stop. Keep yourself in good shape, if you don´t you will burn out and have to stop your campaign. You need to embrace life, none of us know how long we´ve got on this earth. Hope is contagious, it drives people on to find solutions and ways of coping even in seemingly impossible situations. Pancreatic cancer used to only get 1% of funding. Now, thanks to Maggie and her fellow campaigners it gets 3%.   BEST MOMENTS ‘Change doesn´t happen unless people have a voice’ ‘Whatever life throws at me now, mostly it’s sortable or doable´ ´If you've got something, whatever it is that you want to achieve, figure it out as you go along and don't let people cast any doubt in your mind´   VALUABLE RESOURCES Brave, Bold, Brilliant podcast series   ABOUT THE GUEST   Maggie Watts is a Pancreatic Cancer Advocate, campaigning for more awareness and more funding of Pancreatic Cancer.   For the last 10 years Maggie has campaigned for more awareness and more funding for pancreatic cancer as a result of losing her husband, Kevin  to the disease and discovering that survival rates hadn't improved at all in the 40 years prior to his death. Kev's mum had also died of pancreatic cancer exactly 40 years earlier (aged 27) and nothing had changed whatsoever in all of that time.   This was a shock to Maggie and also unbelievable and unacceptable that nothing had changed in all of that time - after Kev died it became a mission of hers (and also a coping mechanism for grief) to see what she could do to raise awareness.  Maggie started a Government e-petition and took to social media to try and find 100,000 people to sign - to try and become eligible for a Parliamentary Debate.     With the support of many around her, including some high profile media and sports personalities such as the actress Julie Hesmondhalgh, the BBC radio presenter Stephanie Hirst and footballer Joey Barton, Maggie was successful in achieving her goal and went to Parliament for the debate which was one of the most highly attended backbench debates ever.   Maggie continues to tirelessly champion the cause for Pancreatic Cancer, through her Hope is Contagious Campaign, to make this world a better place and provide hope for Pancreatic Cancer sufferers and their families.   GUEST RESOURCES Hope Is Contagious – Maggie´s pancreatic cancer awareness website PancreaticCancer.org.uk PancreaticCancerAction.org Pancreatic Cancer Research Fund – pcrf.org.uk PancreaticCancerAction Scotland   ABOUT THE HOST   Jeannette Linfoot is a highly regarded senior executive, property investor, board advisor, and business mentor with over 25 years of global professional business experience across the travel, leisure, hospitality, and property sectors. Having bought, ran, and sold businesses all over the world, Jeannette now has a portfolio of her own businesses and also advises and mentors other business leaders to drive forward their strategies as well as their own personal development.   Jeannette is a down to earth leader, a passionate champion for diversity & inclusion, and a huge advocate of nurturing talent so every person can unleash their full potential and live their dreams.    CONTACT METHOD https://www.jeannettelinfootassociates.com/ YOUTUBE LinkedIn Facebook Instagram   Podcast Description   Jeannette Linfoot talks to incredible people about their experiences of being Brave, Bold & Brilliant, which have allowed them to unleash their full potential in business, their careers, and life in general. From the boardroom tables of ‘big’ international business to the dining room tables of entrepreneurial start-ups, how to overcome challenges, embrace opportunities and take risks, whilst staying ‘true’ to yourself is the order of the day. ** Spotting the Early Signs of Pancreatic Cancer and Helping to Raise Awareness   9,000 people die every year with pancreatic cancer, in the UK. Early diagnosis is essential and greatly improves survival time.   The main symptoms of pancreatic cancer are:   Indigestion that does not respond to normal medications Pale and/or smelly/oily stools that do not flush easily Upper abdominal pain Mid back pain – in both sexes, at about the point a lady´s bra strap would sit Fatigue Unexplained weight loss Pain on eating Diabetes that is not associated with weight gain Jaundice   You may have just one, or several of these symptoms.   Early diagnosis greatly improves survival times. So, go to the doctors early and don´t be afraid to politely challenge doctors and ask for a scan if symptoms persist.   If your symptoms persist actively, ask your doctor about whether it could be pancreatic cancer. This cancer is often missed or misdiagnosed, so asking your doctor the question helps to prompt them to explore things more.   Please keep an eye out for the signs in yourself and your loved ones.   Also, please support Pancreatic Cancer month, which is November and World Pancreatic Cancer day, which is the 19th November.   Sharing the Hope Is Contagious  website and any pancreatic cancer tweets and posts on social media takes moments, yet it helps a lot.                   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

  The GenderGP Podcast: Facial Feminisation Surgery Special As work continues on the updated WPATH Standards of Care, it is anticipated that the transformative role that Facial Feminisation Surgery can play in the lives of trans feminine individuals, will be given more prominence than ever before. This is largely thanks to the groundbreaking work being carried out by experts in the field, including the specialist surgeons at FacialTeam in Malaga, Spain. In this three-part special, we explore all things FFS; from the theory, with Alexandra Hamer, to the practice with Dr Raul Bellinga and finally the impact, with radio and TV presenter, Stephanie Hirst and her surgeon, Dr Simon. Part 1. Alexandra Hamer - The Principals of Facial Feminisation Surgery Alexandra Hamer has been studying facial gender differences for 18 years. She specialises in understanding what makes a face look feminine or masculine. In this episode she talks to Dr Helen and Marianne about her work in facial feminisation simulation. Using photoshop, Alex helps individuals considering surgery to understand the impact which FFS might have and how to use the minimum number of surgical techniques, to achieve the maximum feminising results.

Welcome to our GenderGP Podcast, where we will be discussing some of the issues affecting the trans and non-binary community in the world today, together with my co-host Marianne Oakes, a trans woman herself, and our head of therapy.   Dr Helen Webberley: Welcome, everybody, to this edition of our podcast. I am here with Marianne as usual, and we have a lovely guest today as well. I'd like to welcome Alex, who I think is very exciting because her specialty is virtual facial feminisation. I love the fact that it's facial feminisation because this is going to help a lot of people, but also the fact that this virtual thing is very much what GenderGP is all about. So Alex, let me allow you to introduce yourself and tell us all that you do. Take the floor. Alexandra Hamer: Right. Do you know what I feel? It's really difficult because I have one of those jobs that doesn't have a proper name. People say what do you do? And depending on how much time I've got, the answer can be very long or very short. Anyway, I am Alexandra Hamer, and, so, essentially, I advise people on facial feminisation surgery. I am not a surgeon, I am not a doctor, so it's not that I advise them on the surgery, but I explain what makes their face masculine, and what techniques there are available that can feminise it. And I also simulate the changes in photoshop so that they can get a sense of how those different procedures will look in real life. By doing that, they get a sense of what's important and what isn't important. The thing is, if you go to a surgeon, they will often give you a very long shopping list of procedures, and a lot of those often will make very little difference but will cost you thousands and thousands of pounds. And so I can show people, I can say, look,

  Facial Feminisation Surgery Special - Part 3 Stephanie Hirst and Dr David Simon Radio and TV presenter Stephanie Hirst is joined by her surgeon, Dr Simon, co-founder of the FacialTeam in Marbella, Spain. In this third and final part of our Facial Feminisation Special, Stephanie shares her experiences of FFS and how it changed her life, while Dr Simon talks about the guidelines, research and best practice which have been instrumental in forcing the re-evaluation of FFS and the transformative role it can play in the lives of trans women. Dr Daniel Simon talks to Stephanie Hirst for the GenderGP Podcast As work continues on the updated WPATH Standards of Care, it is anticipated that the transformative role that Facial Feminisation Surgery can play in the lives of trans feminine individuals, will be given more prominence than ever before. This is largely thanks to the groundbreaking work being carried out by experts in the field, including the specialist surgeons at FacialTeam in Malaga, Spain.

Welcome to our GenderGP Podcast, where we will be discussing some of the issues affecting the trans and non-binary community in the world today, together with my co-host Marianne Oakes, a trans woman herself, and our head of therapy.   Dr Helen Webberley: Okay, hi everybody, welcome to this edition of our podcast. I am not with Marianne today, but I have two other guests with me. I have Stephanie Hirst, who is a radio and TV presenter, who also has a trans history. We’re really excited to hear about all that she has to say about being trans, about her journey, about what it’s like to be such a celebrity, and making that journey. And then we have Dr Simon, who’s our third guest from the Facial Team, who I think has some input into how beautiful Stephanie looks today, and how feminine she looks. So, I am really excited to welcome both of you. Thank you for joining us. Stephanie, can I pass over to you first and let you introduce yourself in a much better way than I could ever do? Tell us all about you and over to you. Stephanie Hirst: I guess my story is quite classic because I think from a very early age, I knew that something wasn't right. And when you are at school, especially like nursery school and they put the girls and the boys into different groups, I would always go and stick with the girls, because that was my natural state of comfortable. And they would go and put me back with the boys. Now you sit over there with the boys. And this happened several times, they raised it to my mum. Back then, there was no google or anything like that. There was nothing. You know, my mum couldn't look this kind of stuff up. So, I think she just went with her gut instinct and just ignored it. And then as you grow up, you start to learn that this isn't, in inverted commas, I guess, acceptable. Because anyone who I guess looks like a boy and I guess well is a boy, then you are slightly effeminate, well, you tend to get bullied.

  Facial Feminisation Surgery Special - Part 2 Dr Raul Bellinga FacialTeam in Marbella is leading the charge in Facial Feminisation Surgery (FFS).

Together they talk about the research and some of the groundbreaking techniques being carried out by the FacialTeam surgeons, as well as how this work is influencing developments in facial feminisation surgery globally.  As work continues on the updated WPATH Standards of Care, it is anticipated that the transformative role that Facial Feminisation Surgery can play in the lives of trans feminine individuals, will be given more prominence than ever before. This is largely thanks to the groundbreaking work being carried out by experts in the field, including the specialist surgeons at FacialTeam in Malaga, Spain. In this three-part special, we explore all things FFS; from the theory, with Alexandra Hamer, to the practice with Dr Raul Bellinga and finally the impact, with radio and TV presenter, Stephanie Hirst and her surgeon, Dr Simon.

Welcome to our GenderGP Podcast, where we will be discussing some of the issues affecting the trans and non-binary community in the world today, together with my co-host Marianne Oakes, a trans woman herself, and our head of therapy.   Dr Helen Webberley: So, welcome everybody to our podcast. I am here with Marianne, as usual. And today, we are really excited to welcome Dr Bellinga from the Facial Team in Marbella. Dr Bellinga, thank you for joining us. I’m going to let you come in and just tell us who you are, what you do, what your lovely and amazing team do. So, I’ll hand it over to you. Dr Raúl Bellinga: Alright, good morning to everyone. Thank you so much for your kind words. And let me introduce myself. I am Dr Bellinga, Raúl Bellinga, from Facial Team, Spain. We are placed in Marbella, in the south of Spain, the lovely Costa del Sol. And I am part of a surgical group and whose name is Facial Team. Facial Team is a surgical group which started in 2008, and we are just dedicated to facial feminisation surgery. So, we are pretty experienced about what we are doing now. At Facial Team, we are now six surgeons, and we are all dedicated to one specific feature in the face. In my case, for instance, I am the one who is dedicated one hundred per cent to rhinoplasty, to feminisation rhinoplasty, which is slightly different from cosmetic rhinoplasty. Dr Helen Webberley: Okay, wow, brilliant. So, the rhinoplasty being the surgery on the nose, the feminisation surgery on the nose. Just broadly, you've got six surgeons. Do you all do something different? Or how does it work if someone needs a little bit of attention on their nose as well as their forehead? How does it work to get that full kind of picture? Dr Raúl Bellinga: Alright, good. As I told you at the beginning, we are experts in one very specific feature in the face. For instance, as I told you,

Stephanie Hirst’s had a remarkable journey. Her radio career has gone from cueing up a record for the first time at Radio Aire, through market leading shows like Hirsty’s Morning Glory on Viking FM and Hirsty’s Daily Dose on Galaxy (and latterly Capital), to hosting the commercial radio chart. But hidden behind the bouncy breakfast show were increasingly dark days, plagued by thoughts of suicide. She knew she risked losing everything, but was braced to give it up in order to finally become her true self. Now, she’s back making radio magic at BBC Radio Leeds – and the journey is far far from over. Thank you to Stephanie for sharing her story, with some amazing memories from over the years and truly inspiring words. Behind The Mic is exploring the media world in the 21st century.

Stephanie Hirst loves being on the radio. After dreaming of being a presenter since the age of eleven, she made it. Awards, popularity, success. The works. Then she gave it all up and risked losing everything. Why? Because Steph is transgender and it was under the name Simon Hirst, presenting as a man, that she had gained such success. This is a story of a life that for many years, was lived in fear. And a story of real courage.

Firstly, MEN are welcome, secondly, this is not a big feminist moan or outcry. This is an inspiring, stripped back, no-holds-barred conversation about 'women in radio' with two of my favourite female counterparts in the industry.

What. A. Hero. Enjoy x

Stephanie Hirst was a man. And a very successful one at that with a remarkable career as a broadcaster in UK radio, gaining 14 industry awards.

Now back on the air, Stephanie Hirst remains a successful radio personality, working for the BBC as well as devoting her time to transgender activism.

I spoke to Stephanie Hirst just six weeks after she’d announced to the world that she was a woman. She’d previously been a man named Simon, and had carved out a fine career for herself in radio. She’d actually started her career at the age of 12, making tea for announcers, and began pulling graveyard shifts on air at 16. She loved radio with all her might, and eventually created an enviable profile and career for herself, but she was tormented by her gender dysphoria. In late 2014 she risked everything to shared her true self with the world. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
