This week's Friday catch-up is with pop artist Pastiche, who has had a very tricky couple of years. She shares the challenges she faced on her journey to an endometriosis diagnosis, and what it's like to be freezing her eggs at 26. I really enjoyed this conversation, and have massive respect for Pastiche's generosity with her experience. She is open to hearing from people who have had a similar experience or are on their own journey and would like to speak to someone who's been through it, so check out her Instagram here.

I was dying to learn more about where the song came from, and that led me to The Kabin, a not-for-profit 'music and creative hub' for kids and young people in a portacabin in Knocknaheeny in Cork City. Garry McCarthy is the project's founder, and he told me how it came to be and all about the brilliant work it's doing for young people, as well as how the kids are coping with their fame.To support the podcast and access bonus episodes join our community on Patreon.153.
