Album Launch Tickets available here https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/claire-tonti-album-launch-tickets-460602724147


Freya Lawler joins me again today to deep dive into Endometriosis, a condition that effects so many women and is still chronically under diagnosed and often misunderstood. Freya Lawler is a bachelor qualified nutritionist, naturopath and natural fertility educator specialising in reproductive health, fertility and hormones. She is passionate about helping people achieve whole body wellness through a root-cause approach to women's health. In this episode we talk specifically about the paths to diagnosis for Endo, the common symptoms, what to look out for in our teenage girls who may be getting their period for the first time, methods of treatment and life style and dietary approaches that can really make a difference in you or someone you know suffers from this condition. Freya also has some wonderful resources you can access from her website and an Endometriosis starter kit that will help equip you with lots of strategies, good quality, well researched support and knowledge.

  • 56. Inside a Mother & Baby Unit with Sabrina Kennedy

    44:44
    TONTS. On The Road.This episode is part of series of episodes that were recorded on the road as part of my tour of the UK and Ireland last year. In this first on the road episode I talk to the incredibly kind Sabrina Kennedy Charge nurse at the Bristol New Horizon Mother and Baby Unit. The unit is the smallest in the UK and is a 4-bed South West regional service providing treatments and interventions to meet the physical and mental health needs of mothers and their infants. Our 24-hour inpatient service supports, assists and supervises each mother to help develop the relationship with their infant.  This episode is so precious to me as Sabrina explains so beautifully what it's really like inside this kind of facility and the nature of the work, caring for mothers at risk who are in deep pain and in need of compassion and support. I felt so privileged after this episode to be able to sing for the women in the unit. Such a beautiful memory.

  • 52. Good Mourning with Sally Douglas & Imogen Carn

    01:00:12
    Sally Douglas and Imogen Carn met after the sudden deaths of their mothers only months apart. Their experiences led them to launch a podcast, and their no-holds-barred, relatable approach to talking about grief sparked a growing following of people eager to have honest conversations about what it really feels like to deal with loss. Good Mourning is a compassionate survival guide for anyone dealing with grief - the kind of book Sal and Im wish they'd had to help them through the dark times. Here they shine a light on the many ways grief can impact our lives (hello ugly crying, exhaustion and 'grief brain'). Along with expert advice from clinical psychologist Tamara Cavenett and warm words and insights from hundreds of others who've experienced grief, the authors offer practical tips on coping with isolation and loneliness, navigating grief at work, managing milestones and so much more. Whether you're one month in or ten years down the track, Good Mourning will help you make sense of life after loss - and know that you're not alone.You can find more from Sal and Im at https://goodmourning.com.auhttps://www.clairetonti.comhttps://www.instagram.com/clairetonti/You can contact the show at hello@clairetonti.comEditing: RAW CollingsSocial Media: Maisie JG
