Hello and welcome back to Spill That Tea and Eat Some Cake!

FFirst of all we would like to apologise for the delay in getting this episode out, we had a few technical difficulties with the audio but that has hopefully been resolved. You are in for a treat (or a trick) as for the first time you will get to see the faces behind the voices! Yes, that's right, there is a video to go with the audio! Scary for us and maybe for you too but at least it fits the theme of this week!

Today's episode is all about Halloween 🎃 We are talking about where Halloween originated from, letting you know about our favourite spooky traditions, discussing our favourite horror movie genres and films, as well as reviewing some delicious Halloween decorated cupcakes!

So pull up a chair, pour yourself a cuppa and join us in our cosy little tearoom for this weeks episode.

Welcome back to Spill That Tea and Eat Some Cake! In Episode 4, we are inviting you to pull up a chair and get talking about a topic that matters to us all: breast cancer awareness and women's health.

In this episode we are exploring how to check your breasts or chest for any changes. We also talk about various women's health issues including us not knowing about perimenopause until recently, cervical screening changes and how women's medical research seems to be unimportant when compared to men's.

When all that tea has been spilt, we review some delicious cupcakes before winding down in poetry corner.

In this episode we are opening up the conversation surrounding mental health and why breaking the silence can be a such a powerful thing. Asking for help, or even just talking about what you are going through can help break down the stigma that still surrounds this topic. Talking about it saves lives. Join us as we share are own struggles with mental health conditions, how to support those with one and how to look after our own minds.
