Show Notes
On this week's episode I am so buzzing to have a very special guest on with me, the lovely Lynsey Bennett. Lynsey is one of many women in Ireland who has been affected by the consistent wrongful reading of her smear test results and is now battling terminal, invasive cervical cancer. She is only 32 years of age and a mother to two gorgeous girls.
Lynsey is beyond inspirational, even though she can't see it herself, and is helping so many people by documenting her journey through her Instagram page @cancerwithgratitude. We chat about so many different things from everything she has faced from 2009 until now, how important it is to trust your own gut, always push for the answers you deserve and to know your own body.
While having so many curve balls thrown at her and even though many others would be filled with anger because of the wrongdoings, she discusses how the book, The Magic, has taught her that anger has no benefit in this situation and gratitude is the way forward.
I will let the podcast do the rest of the talking because Lynsey's story really speaks for itself.
I hope you enjoy the episode x

More from Not a Single Bother
On this week's episode I’m joined by Tracy Hall who is author of The Last Victim which tells the story of how she was scammed by her partner of 18 months, Hamish McLaren, out of over $300,000. Hamish, who Tracy knew as Max, turned her life upside down leaving her and many others with no savings and absolutely heartbroken.
Who doesn't love a good dating story? This week, I brought my friend Grainne on the pod because she has spent the last few months in the dating scene here in Sydney and has a few iconic stories to tell. I've had a few horror stories myself which make for great stories but the best of all were our listener stories. They had us cackling so much we were silent laughing. From nudists to bar fights to catfishing to dead dogs there was a mixture of all sorts!!
Nutritional therapist and herbal medicine practitioner, Aisling (AOK Nutrition) specialises in female hormones and fertility and I just HAD to get Aisling back on the podcast. As one of my most popular episodes to date, I wanted to recap the old listeners and introduce her to any new, so that we finally understand how our bodies work as we just were not taught these things in school.
Following on from last weeks episode, Kelley and I are delving deep into the highs and lows that come with living in Australia.
With so many people moving to Australia in the last couple of years, I have seen a lot of chat about Australia not being what 'they' make it out to be.
