This short podcast series Rachel New will be talking to some of the women who took part in The 51% Writing workshops, and hearing a selection of the beautiful work they produced.

Run over 6 weekly sessions, in a safe and supportive space, women came together, using a variety of writing techniques, to explore their thoughts and feelings about all stages of their reproductive life, from menstruation to menopause and all the stops along the way.

Rachel worked with Improving Me, the women’s health and maternity programme for NHS Cheshire and Merseyside, to develop The 51%, workshops, which are both therapeutic and joyful. 

Please enjoy these frank conversations and the powerful writing, but also know some of the themes discussed, including baby loss and abusive relationships, might be triggering.
