Diagnosed at 23 - and isn’t that the ‘turd’ of the title - after a series of terrible missed opportunities/ mis-diagnoses which meant that her eventual diagnosis had a ‘terminal’ label. Gaby is steadfast in remaining 33 (you’ll hear why) but also where her sunny disposition comes from, and how it pulled her through her turd and is something she has imbued into her own children. I follow Kris on Instagram and so have seen her joie de vivre through her posts and pictures, so this book appealed to me from the start. Since the book’s release she hosts her own podcast and has written more articles about her experience with postpartum psychosis and the pressures of parenthood. com/howtoglitteraturd and there's a chance to become a fully fledged member of the Turd Glitterati over on Patreon - https://www.

If you have been impacted by the theme of this podcast there are support resources available including Tommy’s - https://www.Everything is dismissed as "your hormones, your age, your lifestyle", with a definite leaning towards the "watch and wait" scenario. I got excited when her charity CoppaFeel started to put reminders to check your breasts inside underwear that could be easily bought on the high street, I admired her frankly gorgeous knitwear collection when I watched the BBC documentary “Dying to Live”, and I applauded her work with the Sun newspaper on “check it Tuesday”. On this episode of the podcast, Kris gets under the skin of David to find out what it’s like to work in an industry based on looks, how his time coming through is very different than it is to today with social media, and how realising his own limitations took him away from his dream career to one that’s very different, but that he has channeled his natural drive and competitiveness to rise to the top and taken him to new places around the world and in business.

With her background in mental health Natasha has written a number of books as well as releasing her first fictional book ‘Toxic’ in 2022.Tahnée is a multiple World Cup winner, athlete for Red Bull and Fox Racing, but after a major crash she feared for her future in the sport.

Glittering a Turd is more than just another cancer memoir; it’s a handbook for living life to the fullest, shining a new perspective on survival and learning to glitter your own tu*d, whatever it might be. Each week Kris will be joined by a very special guest to learn about their turds, how they came to be and what impact they had, and at the end of the day, how they found the glitter in spite of the turd.I loved it because there are far too few people talking about cancer and yet so many people who have been or will be diagnosed - and if you have ever come close, a book like this is an absolute dream.
