SISTERHOOD welcomes the beautiful Honor Collins will be talking about her grief journey of losing her partner, whilst I open up about losing my mum, for the first time.

Our grief episode will be released at 12pm on Sunday. The synchronicity of the coincidental timing, as it is National Grief Awareness Week, feels reassuring that the timing is right. This has been months in the making.

Both Honor and I hope it will help others and shed some light on a topic that needs to be discussed much more! Expect honest conversation with talk of 'toast' moments, funerals, laughter, travel, sisterhood, bereavement and loss. The message is how all of this informs our growth throughout our life journey 🌈. If you are affected by any issues raised in this episode, below are some links to charities that can help. Remember- you are never alone and you are so loved! ❤. SISTERHOOD dms always open.

Hear SISTERHOOD ( @louiseavey ) and the insanely talented and wise soul that is @malihayes grace our ears for this weeks' podcast episode. We talk about spirituality, music, mindfulness, personal growth, dance and taking time off!

We talk of what we have learnt since we met some time ago (over ten years), how our lives have spiraled in different directions but how heart and soul has always been the driving force of what we do. We credit Company Fierce ( @houseofghetto_mcr / @darrenpritcharddance ) for bringing us together and for sparking our creativity to go into our respective fields, music and writing.

As well as being a chat amongst old friends and kindred souls, it is an exploration of lives greatest teachers, learning to say no, to speak out and step back, to stop writing lists and to start your very own You day (planning my Louise day immediately!). We hope this resonates and you find some healing within this podcast episode, as now more than ever, it is needed. Remember the struggle that is happening right now, get uncomfortable and use your privilege for good, for justice, for what is right.

What better time to announce our sisters circle collaboration with SISTERHOOD ( @sisterhoodcreativecommunity ) and The Sisters' Circle ( @the.sisterscircle ) which will take place on the 6th June at 7pm. Message us for details and to join! 🤍

Hear SISTERHOOD founder Lou Avey talk to Amy Harper about their queer experiences. 

SISTERHOOD welcomes Amy Harper ( @amyharpr ); a queer artist, body painter, stylist, writer, nudist, and all round creative powerhouse! Amy is a force to reckoned with, as vulnerable and delicate, as she is strong and bold ~ she lets us into her colorful world for an evening. 

Who said date night can’t be to debate and discuss topics that relate to our queerness, polyamory, pansexuality, bullying, mental health, self love, nudism and body positivity? 🍑 

They discuss their bumpy journey to self-love and acceptance, whilst realising that showcasing their acceptance for one another is another revelation! They welcome you into an intimate conversation, whilst sipping copious amounts of wine and filled with plentiful laughter.

Amy Harper is a stand-alone example of why the world needs to change, and will change: “it is our choice to rewrite the rules that society has thrust upon us, so who’s to say we can’t?”.
