Got this lovely reminder on my coffee cup this weekend❤️

Going into this week remembering how important the little things are, and continuing to be grateful for all the little “wins” ✨

It’s not secret that I am normally on the go 24/7 but life has been much slower than I’m used to lately☀️

Trying to romanticise the small things in life like coffees, sunny walks and reading books that bring me joy✨

Spotted this whilst having a roam around the library - such a great initiative to help to combat period poverty in the UK, but sad that it is needed.

We need to ensure everyone who menstruates has access to the products they need, and facilitate their choice of method

On the topic of books, I have definitely experienced a dismissal of romance books (in bookshops & bookclubs) as “easyreads” or not important, despite some of our classics being rom

"Do we see broadsheets reviewing romance books? No. And they are just as important literary books”

My fondest childhood memory was sitting in the sun on school summer holidays getting lost in a book☀️

So when the sun is out, I’m recreating my “happy place” #booksky

Finished this lovely read during the week

4.5/5 stars ⭐️
I’m obsessed with Beth O’Leary books, and this one did not disappoint!

Have to say though, “The no show” is still my favourite- still am yet to get over that one 😍😭 #booksky

My #booksky for 2025 has been terrible (and I could list 100 excuses but I’m not going to)

Book 3/25 ✅
I really loved this book, would rate it 4.5/5 stars - it’s so beautifully written with a captivating story line, can definitely see why it won the women’s prize!

What lovely news to start the Easter weekend ❤️

Sadly I couldn’t be there to collect my award in person, but so honoured to be recognised by @aberdeenunilib.bsky.social where I studied both my undergraduate and postgraduate degrees! #medsky

Oh #booksky, how I have neglected posting - I have just finished this incredibly insightful book on the transition into motherhood and I would highly recommend it!

Hopefully my next book will not take me as long to read! Has anyone else read this?

I've been terrible for using Bluesky but going to make an effort!

#Medsky - check out our latest paper in #BMJSRH:

Doing some Sunday admin whilst listening to this inspiring episode of BFBS Creative’s Culture Colonel podcast!

Toni, a RN officer, talks about reframing being a “yes” or “no” person to being a “why” person which I loved, & reminded me of the quote “Your network is your net worth”

Just watched this lovely little film, This time next year, on Netflix - it’s such an easy rom com watch if you needed some post holiday nostalgia ❤️

I just shared my favourite quote over on my podcast's Instagram, and thought I would also share it here!

In 2025, take one small step everyday towards your dreams, and you will be 365 steps closer than you were in 2024! #newyear

Happy new year from me and the crochet vulva!! ✨

Here’s to another year of spreading education on women’s health! Always happy to help where I can ❤️

(And hopefully acquiring a few more crocheted anatomical parts!)

My lovely coffee cup has not made its appearance on #bluesky yet, but here it is✨

This is my mantra for 2025🙌

New here 👋 how do I find people to follow who are talking about women’s health, books and gender equity?
