Unlock the Power of Positivity: Your Wellness Wake-Up Call
"Cancer, Heart Disease, Health, and Well-being — with a dose of laughter to keep us going.
These days, Cancer and Heart Disease affect far too many men and women.
Nothing truly prepares you for the shock of a diagnosis or the terrifying moment of chest pain followed by a heart attack or cardiac arrest.
In our podcast, we open up about our own journeys — from diagnosis and treatment to the vital support of family, friends, and the mental health battles in between. We dive into the resources available, both medical and financial, and share the ways outside support can make all the difference.
But it’s not all heavy. We also talk about everyday life — news, sports, hobbies, arts, crafts — the things that keep us smiling through the toughest times. Special guests join us too, bringing their own stories, experiences, and fresh perspectives.
Most importantly, our podcast is light-hearted, funny, relatable, and inspiring. It’s informative without being overwhelming — and once you tune in, you’ll want to keep coming back.
So join us, laugh with us, and remember: all we ask is just a little smile.

Eating Disorders
Season 2, Episode 37
It's British summertime at long last and what a great week this has been for sunshine.
Today we have another special guest Jessica Baker who suffers from an Eating Disorder, Jessica now in her mid fifties has been struggling with this since she was nine years old.
Jessica tells us open and honestly how she has coped with this eating disorder over the years telling us her highs and lows, yo-yoing with her weight made it difficult at times to cope with her appearance, and how she felt inside.
Jessica is still today struggling with her illness today but does have the benefit of a very strong will and has come to terms with her illness and learnt how to manage her illness by understanding the situation she finds herself in.
Listen to this remarkable storey and learn sometimes what you see on the outside is very different sometimes to what is going on the inside of a person.
