Ali Harris on baby loss and the importance of honouring grief
On this week's episode, Giovanna sits down with author Ali Harris for a deeply moving conversation about love, loss and finding hope through grief. Ali carried her third child, Poppy, for just under twenty-four weeks until the day she delivered her, knowing she had already died. She opens up to Gi about navigating this loss and how she has channelled that pain, healing, and hope into writing. Her latest novel received countless rejections - “no one wants to read about baby loss". But Ali was determined to create space for these stories in fiction, not only for the millions of women who know this grief firsthand, but also to help bring these experiences into the wider world of storytelling. Ali's new book, This Wasn’t Meant to Happen, is available from September 11th.

'Sephora Kids' and the impact of children using skincare
What skincare is safe for preteens & teens to be using (and more importantly, what isn’t?!) Dermatologist Dr Emma Craythorne has the answers on this week’s episode of Parenting SOS. With the rising trend of ‘Sephora Kids’ through social media & pressure amongst friendship circles, children as young as ten are adopting skincare routines with anti-aging formulas. Active ingredients (such as AHA’s, BHA’s & Retinols) are too strong for children’s skin barrier and can cause severe irritation.
