HELLOOOO beautiful listeners and welcome back to another ep of Let's Talk, Period. This week, Isabella sat down with Victoria Spiliopoulous, Founder and Principal Instructor at Vicalates. In the midst of COVID-19, Vic, like everyone else, found her plans dramatically changed! What started out as fun online pilates classes with friends during lockdown, pivoted into a business idea. Having launched just one month ago, Vicalates is a boutique, full service Reformer Pilates studio that culminates the principles of Pilates with art, design and sensory experience. She is passionate about women's health, love all bodies and love making all bodies feel good. We talk on her relationship with health and fitness, how she wasn't always into pilates and what led her to take classes, then go onto teach the method, her top tips if you're new to reformer and how to not feel completely overwhelmed, and how you can work to include pilates as a form of movement when you have a chronic condition. Vic is an absolute pocket rocket and is so passionate and driven and just exudes so much light and energy in this chat, and we know you'll leave it feeling uplifted and ready to take on the day!

Fancy seeing you here! It's Wednesday and that means it's definitely time for our latest episode and this one is with the lovely Summeet Seyan. In this episode, Isabella sat down with Summeet Seyan, who was born and raised in Canada and the US, as a first generation Indian-Canadian, before moving to London with her husband, shortly after she was diagnosed with PCOS due to irregular and lengthy cycles. After 6 years of being on the pill and then working on her diet, Summeet was able to fall pregnant naturally and have her first child. Soon after, her periods returned and they were regular, so Summeet assumed everything was back to normal and her PCOS had eased. It was then when her periods became extremely heavy, so heavy that she needed iron and B12 injections. It was then another two and a half years before they would welcome their next child, and this time navigating yet another health system, with Summeet and her family having moved to Japan. After this birth her period returned quickly and as such her doctor suggested the Mirena, but after six months of sharp pelvic pain and discomfort she opted to have it removed. Most recently, Summeet calls Sydney home and has recently undergone a hysterectomy due to her severe symptoms. She aims to share more about her experiences with women's health and what it's like to navigate four different healthcare systems, whilst trying to advocate for yourself. Summeet is incredibly open, honest and raw in her recount of her experiences and we really think you'll connect with this one. Loved listening to what Summeet and want even more from her?

It's time for our next ep, can you believe!? This one is with two literal rays of sunshine, Lar and Cath! In this episode, Isabella sat down with Lauren and Catherine Lee, the founders of Semaine Health. Lar and Cath are identical twin sisters both living with endometriosis. After a 15 year wait to be officially diagnosed, Lar had multiple surgeries for her stage IV endo and Cath excision surgery for her stage II. Based on their experience of having their period pain dismissed for years, Cath and Lar started their own plant-based supplement company called Semaine. Their first supplement is an all-natural anti-inflammatory for people with painful periods. Their biggest dream for Semaine is that it pushes the medical and pharma industries to take womxn's pain seriously. We talk on their endometriosis stories, the burnout and stress that can come from trying to manage a chronic condition, the why behind starting Semaine health, as well as the journey to launching, the key ingredients, what each one does and why it was so important to make them plant based and dairy free, the highlights and impact they've created so far, and we touch on what's coming up next for Semaine! Lar and Cath are like beams of light and were such a delight to have on the show, so we absolutely know you're going to connect and resonate with what they have to say!

She also talks on why she started her instagram account @theendojournal, how and why she's amassed such a large following, the impact and highlights she's had as a result of her online community, anxiety, mental health stigma and Georgia's journey with medicinal cannabis, after being approved last year.
