Victoria & Candy Ekanoye: Surviving Breast Cancer, The Mother Daughter Bond & Creating Change in Cancer Care

contact@thecapsule.co.uk (Natalie Anderson, Candy Ekanoye, Victoria Ekanoye) — Sun, 15 Mar 2026 20:00:00 +0000

In this highly emotive episode of Women & Wellbeing, actor, producer and breast cancer campaigner Victoria Ekanoye is joined by her mum, Candy, for a deeply moving conversation about resilience, family and using personal experience to create change.

As both breast cancer survivors, Victoria and Candy share their experience of navigating diagnosis, treatment and the steady steps towards recovery whilst for bolstering each other with strength and support. Together, they reflect on how their shared experience opened up important conversations around women’s health, vulnerability and the power of the mother–daughter relationship during life’s most difficult moments.

The conversation also explores the wider disparities that exist in cancer care for Black women around the world. Victoria and Candy speak candidly about why awareness, early detection and representation matter — and why challenging silence and stigma around cancer remains an essential part of their advocacy.

Victoria is currently fronting the award winning documentary Shades of Survival, which shines a light on how breast cancer is experienced and treated across different countries and cultures. Through the project, she is helping to amplify global conversations around equity in healthcare and access to life-saving support.

Alongside their work with Prevent Breast Cancer, the pair are also lobbying the UK government for greater awareness and policy change — ensuring that women’s voices, experiences and outcomes are better represented in cancer care.

Later in the conversation we discuss Victoria’s gradual return to on-screen work following treatment, including her role in the Paramount Plus smash hit 'Girl Taken', and how creativity, purpose and storytelling have been part of her healing journey alongside being a mother to her young son Theo.

Together, we discuss:

– Surviving breast cancer as mother and daughter

– The power of family support during illness

– Disparities in cancer care for Black women globally

– Cultural perceptions and stigma around cancer

– Advocacy, awareness and policy change

– Opening up intergenerational conversations around women’s health

– Returning to creativity and career after illness

This episode is a story of survival, love and determination — and a reminder that personal stories have the power to shift awareness, challenge systems and inspire change.

Karen Arthur: Finding Calm with Creativity, Dopamine Dressing & Menopause Whilst Black

contact@thecapsule.co.uk (Natalie Anderson, Karen Arthur) — Sun, 1 Mar 2026 20:00:00 +0000

In this episode of Women & Wellbeing, we’re joined by Karen Arthur — educator, author and founder & host of Menopause Whilst Black — for a moving conversation about creativity, confidence and seeing midlife as a powerful turning point rather than a decline.

Karen shares how, during the depths of depression, she began making a quilt from hundreds of tiny squares of fabric. What started as a small daily act became a lifeline — a quiet, steady focus that helped regulate her nervous system and create rhythm during a time of emotional overwhelm. Over months, the quilt became both a creative practice and a symbol of healing. Finally gifting the quilt to her mum — her endeavour provided a full-circle moment of love, story and connection.

We explore the way creativity can ground us. Not as productivity, but as presence. As something tactile and repetitive that gently brings us back to ourselves.

The conversation also turns to fashion — not as trend, but as storytelling. Karen speaks about circular fashion, clothes that hold memories, and garments as emotional archives. Her deep understanding of colour and self-expression led to the creation of her Wear Your Happy movement, encouraging women to embrace dopamine dressing as a way to rebuild confidence and reconnect with joy.

Elsewhere, Karen reflects on the summer of 2020 and how the monumental events that took place that year acted as a catalyst towards her founding the platform and podcast Menopause Whilst Black — born from the need to centre Black women’s experiences in menopause and open up conversations on healthcare, access and education. She speaks candidly about her own menopause journey and how the transition gave her space to sit in silence, to reflect, and to ask herself what she truly wanted from the next chapter of her life.

Rather than fearing midlife, Karen urges women to see it as an opportunity for growth — a recalibration. A chance to understand our wants, our needs, and the lives we’re ready to build.

Together, we discuss:

– Creativity as healing

– Circular fashion and passing on stories through clothes

– Dopamine dressing and rebuilding confidence

– Founding Menopause Whilst Black

– Midlife as expansion, not contraction

– Using transition as an opportunity for reflection and growth

This episode is an invitation to create, to wear colour boldly, to honour your stories — and to trust that midlife may be the most powerful chapter yet.

Abigail Beckingham: Harnessing Emotion with Movement & Honouring the Female Cycle

contact@thecapsule.co.uk (Natalie Anderson, Abigail Beckingham) — Sun, 22 Feb 2026 20:00:00 +0000

In this episode of Women & Wellbeing, Natalie is joined by movement and embodiment coach Abigail Beckingham for a powerful conversation about the connection between the body, emotion and our natural rhythms as women.

Together, they explore what it means to release emotion through movement — not as performance or fitness, but as expression. Abigail shares how stored feelings can live in the body, and how intentional movement can help us process what words sometimes cannot.

During the conversation Abigail talks about handling big emotions without suppressing them. About creating safe space to feel anger, grief, joy and everything in between and about learning to see emotional intensity not as something to fix, but something to understand. She also talks about the thinking behind Kinesiology and how it can be used to aid us in recovery.

A central theme of the episode is leaning into our natural female cycles — recognising that our energy, creativity and capacity shift throughout the month. Rather than fighting those changes, Abigail encourages us to harness them. To align productivity with high-energy phases, and to give ourselves permission to slow down, think and feel when our bodies ask for it.

Together, we discuss:

– Releasing emotion through movement

– Understanding and processing big feelings

– The wisdom of the menstrual cycle

– Productivity through alignment, not pressure

– Giving yourself permission to pause

– Reconnecting with your body’s intelligence and the thinking behind Kinesiology

This is a conversation about trust — trusting your body, your emotions and your rhythms. An invitation to move, to feel, and to honour the season you’re in.

Ateh Jewel: Navigating Life After Divorce, Building Back with Beauty and Learning to Shine

contact@thecapsule.co.uk (Ateh Jewel, Natali Anderson) — Sun, 15 Feb 2026 20:00:00 +0000

In this brand new episode of Women & Wellbeing, Natalie is joined by beauty journalist, broadcaster and podcast host Ateh Jewel for a powerful and deeply honest conversation about identity, reinvention and choosing not to make yourself smaller for anyone. Ateh reflects on her 25-year career in beauty journalism — an industry built on visibility — and shares how learning to lean into authenticity, step away from performance and own her voice has been central to both her professional longevity and personal wellbeing. She talks openly about navigating divorce after a 26-year marriage, and how that period of upheaval became a turning point rather than an ending. Ateh speaks about launching Ateh Jewel Beauty during one of the most challenging chapters of her life — choosing creation over contraction, and courage over fear.

The conversation explores what it means to step fully into your power in midlife: financially, creatively and emotionally. From unlearning the instinct to dim your sparkle to suit others, to embracing visibility without apology, this episode centres on self-trust and self-belief. The pair also reflect on the challenges of motherhood, and the lessons Ateh continues to learn from her twin daughters — about honesty, resilience and the importance of living as your full self.

Discussion points within the conversation include:

– Divorce as a catalyst for growth

– Launching a brand during personal change

– Stepping into your power and owning your voice

– Authenticity and refusing to dim your sparkle

– Learning life lessons from your children

– Redefining wellbeing through truth and self-trust

This episode is a powerful reminder that authenticity is not something you find — it’s something you return to. And that your sparkle is never too much!

contact@thecapsule.co.uk (Natalie Anderson, Nicky Denson-Elliott) — Sun, 8 Feb 2026 20:00:00 +0000

In this episode of Women & Wellbeing, Natalie is joined by Nicky Denson Elliott, founder of The Wilder Collective and host of The Women’s Business Podcast, for an honest and eye-opening conversation about women, money and confidence.

Together, they unpack the deep-rooted beliefs many women carry — from anti-female programming and internalised misogyny to the shame that still surrounds money, ambition and success. Nicky speaks candidly about the systemic lack of investment in female founders, and how these structures quietly reinforce self-doubt, undercharging and playing small to remain palatable.

The conversation also explores the reality of building a business while raising children — the invisible labour, the constant negotiation of time and energy, and why women are still expected to make it all look effortless.

At its heart, this episode is about awareness and agency. About recognising the stories we’ve inherited, questioning who they really serve, and learning how to build confidence — not just in business, but in our relationship with money and ourselves.

Discussion includes:

– Anti-female programming and limiting beliefs

– Women, money shame and self-worth

– The investment gap for female founders

– Motherhood, business and invisible labour

– Internalised misogyny and how it shows up

– Building confidence and clarity around money

This is a powerful conversation about reclaiming space, value and voice — and giving yourself permission to want more, including financial freedom.

In this episode of Women & Wellbeing, Natalie is joined by psychologist, speaker and author Suzy Reading for a deeply nourishing conversation about reclaiming your peace, power, and emotional wellbeing.

Drawing from her work and her brand new book How to Be Selfish, Suzy shares her seven steps to taking back your peace & power, offering compassionate, practical guidance on how to meet your own needs without guilt or apology.

Together, Natalie and Suzy explore what it really means to be “selfish” in a healthy, life-affirming way — reframing it as self-responsibility, self-trust, and emotional maturity. They discuss how learning to listen to and harness our emotions can become a powerful catalyst for change, rather than something to suppress or fear.

The conversation also turns to the rhythms of the seasons, with a gentle exploration of how to winter well — slowing down, restoring energy, and letting go of the pressure to constantly push forward. Suzy invites us to consider spring as the true new year, a more natural moment for renewal, intention-setting and growth.

This episode is an invitation to soften, tune inwards, and remember that meeting your own needs isn’t indulgent — it’s essential.

In this brand new episode, Natalie sits down with actor, speaker and women’s empowerment activist Sarah Jayne Dunn to talk taking back your power, healing the inner child and female strength & sensuality with pole fitness.

In an open and deeply affirming conversation, Sarah shares her journey of reclaiming autonomy — over her body, her work, and her story. She reflects on what it means to step out of expectation and judgement, to control your own narrative, and to build a life rooted in self-trust rather than approval.

Together, they explore female autonomy in all its forms — from bodily agency and creative expression to financial independence and choice. Sarah speaks candidly about the importance of women owning their earning power, redefining success on their own terms, and creating freedom that extends beyond the personal into the practical.

The conversation also dives into the power of play in midlife — why joy, curiosity and movement matter just as much now as they ever did. Through pole fitness, Sarah rediscovered not only physical strength, but sensuality, confidence and connection — challenging the idea that sexual expression should soften or disappear with age.

Topics include:

– Female autonomy and self-ownership

– Controlling your own narrative

– Financial freedom and independence

– Healing the inner child through play and movement

– Strength, sensuality and sexual expression in midlife

– Redefining empowerment without apology

This episode is an invitation to reclaim joy, agency and desire — and to remember that midlife is not an ending, but an expansion of female power.

PMDD (Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder):

What is it? Why is it so often missed? Dr Nighat demystifies this severe hormone-related condition and calls for better diagnosis, treatment, and support for those affected.

Endometriosis & Autoimmune Disorders:

Is there a deeper link? We explore how endometriosis often coexists with chronic inflammatory or autoimmune conditions, and why women’s pain is still too easily dismissed.

Rethinking Pain Relief in Gynae Procedures:

Why is pain management still not standard in many routine procedures like coil insertions or biopsies? Dr Nighat challenges the medical norms and shares how clinicians can offer more empathetic, consent-based care.

In this week's episode Natalie is joined by Hair Stylist & Windle Lab Founder Paul Windle to talk how our hormones effect our hair in midlife and how the ethos of quality over quantity has ensured Windle’s continued success.

Paul also reveals how it is often our hair density that changes during our perimenopause and menopausal years which can give the illusion of hair loss.

Discussing the vital role that testosterone plays in a women’s overall health and wellbeing, Sohère shares her expert insight on how she works with her patients to optimise their hormones, unpacking the different versions of HRT and giving a detailed description of her approach from diagnosis to treatment.

The pair also discuss the common concern of low libido in perimenopause and menopause with Sohère detailing that whilst HRT can be helpful it is advisable to consider all aspects of our wellbeing to address this symptom.

Shining a light on mental health in mid life, Dr Roked notes she often recommends wellbeing practices before medication and the importance of considering the negative impacts of alcohol as we approach mid life.

Rebekah Brown: Unpacking Perimenopause & The Beauty of Community in Mid Life

contact@thecapsule.co.uk (Rebekah Brown, Natalie Anderson) — Sun, 11 May 2025 19:00:00 +0000

In this week’s episode Natalie is joined by Rebekah Brown, founder and head of research at wellness community MPOWDER. In an educational and enlightening conversation Natalie and Rebekah discuss their own personal journeys with the early symptoms of perimenopause and how for Rebekah, it was the catalyst to her creating the first blend from MPOWDER’S award winning supplement range. Rebekah details how she launched the company during the pandemic alongside a group of 60 women who worked with Rebekah and her team to refine the first blend, Peri Boost. Using scientific research alongside feedback from women with genuine perimenopause symptoms MPOWDER quickly gained momentum as a trusted product to alleviate perimenopause symptoms, resulting in CULT beauty adding the brand to their retail stores with Selfridges & John Lewis following suit.

Discussing MPOWDER’S success Rebekah notes that whilst the brand has grown significantly, she has also faced challenges and that there is a distinct lack of funding given to female founders and particularly those in the women’s health space. She highlights that only 2% of government funding is given to women’s reproductive health and that in order for more women to feel well during this transitional phase of life, more must be done in terms of education and the distribution of investment.

Elsewhere in the conversation Natalie & Rebekah talk MPOWDER’s growing success in the US and that whilst the menopause conversation is only just opening up with American audiences, with a concentrated focus on preventative medicine and high profile women such as Naomi Watts and Halle Berry discussing their experiences, the discussion is fast gaining pace. Listen in for an in depth conversation around perimenopause and women in business.

Elsewhere Louise talks frankly about how cycle tracking, lifestyle changes and open conversations in our personal relationships can help us feel more empowered during the perimenopause transition and how hormonal treatment across our reproductive and post reproductive years needs to be discussed on a wider level, with frequent reform to ensure women are receiving the best possible care.

Gemma details how this personal journey lead her to create her wellbeing platform Mind & Wellness as a way to empower others dealing with anxiety, stress and trauma.

During the conversation Gemma notes how helping others feels like her purpose and that by working through her own struggles she is adamant about passing on everything she’s learned to help other people feel less alone. She talks at length about how her work in the wellbeing sector has allowed her to move away from the polished veneer of the entertainment world and to a place of self acceptance and that whilst she still loves acting building her online community has enabled her to feel confident and empowered.

Lorraine Candy: 101 Things Midlife Women Need To Know, The Power of Laughter & Female Friendship

contact@thecapsule.co.uk (Natalie Anderson) — Sun, 18 Jun 2023 19:00:00 +0000

This week Natalie is joined by best selling author, podcaster and former editor in chief, Lorraine Candy to talk all about the magic and the messiness of midlife. Discussing her highly anticipated second book ‘What’s Wrong with Me? 101 Things Midlife Women Need To Know’, Lorraine highlights her personal experiences of perimenopause and midlife and why the similar stories and threads shared by her Postcards From Midlife podcast listeners and community inspired her to create the part memoir part self help book which is garnering rave reviews. Noted for its honesty, accuracy and information, Lorraine details why she felt after her many years at the helm of prestigious titles including Elle & Cosmopolitan, she felt in a unique position to speak openly to her loyal readers and followers about the rollercoaster of midlife and why after decades writing about women’s health and beauty she understood more than most why women were feeling burnout, confused and anxious as they approached their mid 40’s and early 50’s.

From her own reading Natalie remarks that it is Lorraine’s humorous style when discussing difficult symptoms or situations that essentially makes the book so relatable, to which Lorraine notes that we have to find humour as midlife can be a difficult phase however there is so much positivity and optimism at the other side. Lorraine talks about the over 40’s sexual revolution, more women staying in the workplace into their 60’s and the visibility of women over 50 in mass media helping to change the narrative for Gen X and Millennial women and whilst there’s still a long way to go in terms of ageism and social constructs there is a lot of magic to look forward to as women approach the second spring.

This week Natalie is joined by broadcaster, journalist and body positive activist Jackie Adedeji to talk all about her brand new documentary for channel 4’s untold series My Big Boobs. During the episode Jackie discusses her own experience of developing KK breasts at the age of just 11 and feeling confused, shamed and sexualised during her adolescent years. She describes both the mental and physical toll having bigger boobs has taken on her throughout her life but made a decision to accept her natural
shape and use her growing platform to help inspire and empower other woman to be proud of their bodies.

As part of her work she details how the idea for a documentary came about after she reflected on when she was refused breast reduction surgery on the NHS at 18. Despite sharing her pain and difficult experience with her doctor she was refused due to her BMI being too high, something that other women in her position have experienced despite part of their weight being down to heaviness of their breasts. Jackie opens up this conversation with several women during the documentary and uncovers how many women are now going private in order to have breast reduction surgery with a whopping 55% increase in the procedure over recent years. The documentary is fascinating, educational and emotional and this chat reflects Jackie’s passion and insight into why creating it was so important to her. For anyone who has ever felt like they have been defined by the breasts, been made fun of at school, had struggled buying clothes or experienced the aches and pains that come with having bigger boobs, this chat will make you feel supported and empowered.

Alex Fletcher: From Brookside to Hollyoaks, The Many Phases of Motherhood & The Davina Effect

contact@thecapsule.co.uk (Natalie Anderson) — Sun, 21 May 2023 19:00:00 +0000

This week Natalie is joined by actress and soap veteran Alex Fletcher to talk all about her journey from 90’s child star to soap icon, the importance of sharing stories and the many phases of motherhood.

During the chat Alex discusses her route to becoming a professional actor and cites acclaimed writer Russell T Davies as the man who gave her her first job on the hit children’s BBC show Why Don’t You! She notes how that experience lead her to Brookside Close and working with the likes of Sue Johnston & Ricky Tomlinson and how soaps have cemented themselves as part of the heart of British Television due to their familiarity and ability to tackle hard hitting issues affecting the every day person with warmth and sensitivity. As part of this topic Alex reflects on her favourite storylines over the years which includes Hollyoaks hugely evocative Long Walk Home campaign, centred on women’s safety.

Later on in the chat Alex reflects on her experience with perimenopause and reveals that it was Davina McCall’s powerful documentary Sex, Myths & The Menopause that encouraged her to speak to a doctor about her own symptoms before starting on treatment which she now feels has helped her navigate this new phase. She talks at length about parenting children of different ages and the challenges that brings and how as her daughter takes her A-Levels she’s preparing herself for a quieter nest. Alex remarks how it’s important for women to share stories through the generations to allow us to feel more prepared for life’s changes and how we can pass the knowledge on to our own children.

Listen in for an honest, relatable and warm conversation with one of our favourite tv stars.

World Menopause Day Special: Diane Danzebrink & Bloom U.K. on Making Menopause Matter

contact@thecapsule.co.uk (Natalie Anderson) — Sun, 16 Oct 2022 19:00:46 +0000

SENSITIVE TOPIC: This episode contains conversations around suicide and suicidal ideation. In this special episode we mark World Menopause Day (18th Oct) with founder of the #makemenopausematter campaign Diane Danzebrink and Bloom UK’s Jules Castenskiold. Highlighting the complex and varied impacts of menopause, Diane shares the personal story that led her to starting the #makemenopausematter campaign as a way of supporting women through what is often a difficult transitional period for many women. Diane was catapulted into early menopause after an operation on her ovaries in 2012, she was given no prior warning that this would happen which resulted in her not understanding her symptoms when she became both physically and mentally unwell. Her symptoms became so severe that she almost took her own life. Diane’s experience galvanised her to set about making change for other women and thus the #makemenopausemattercampaign was born which in recent years has found its way into the mainstream with high profile voices and platforms such as Davina McCall and Channel 4 giving the campaign their support.

Building on Diane’s change making campaign, Bloom UK an organisation which supports women in the communications industry have developed their own menopause resource for employers and employees as way to keep perimenopausal and menopausal women in the workplace. Their studies found that 80% of women felt uncomfortable talking to their employers about menopause symptoms and in fact 1 in 4 women will leave their jobs because of it. The Bloom Menofesto aims to educate employers on how best to help their workforce with Bloom offering accreditation to those who wish to be viewed as a menopause supportive workplace. During this chat you’ll hear how both the work that Diane and Bloom are doing are changing the landscape for future generations of women but how so much more needs to be done to achieve their goals.

Listen in for an educational, insightful and inspiring conversation.
