Laura O'Brien is a Mum of 4 boys, nurse, midwife and business woman.

Owner of Your Hospital Bag, Laura's business was born out of her own experience of being diagnosed with breast cancer after the birth of her 4th child.

While having treatment Laura came up with the idea of her business and she has created something really wonderful and meaningful that she's still doing today.

Your Hospital Bag is an Irish Company providing all the essentials to those receiving day treatments and overnight hospital stays. I think everyone can see the immense value in a service like this.

Laura's business is going from strength to strength, I admire what she's created so much.

Laura is also at the Pregnancy and Baby fair this weekend so if you're there say hello to her !

Thank you Laura for taking the time to talk to me, I enjoyed talking to you so much.

In this conversation I talk with Niamh Bennett, Founder of Souper Club - Healthy Meal Planning.

Niamh works on empowering women in perimenopause by helping us with one very important thing, meal planning.

This conversation was of interest to me because I find this difficult and I know many of you do too.

We discuss eating well during perimenopause and serving ourselves first because we can't share from an empty plate.

Niamh has created a meal planning service that you should check out if this is something you need help with.

Thank you Niamh for joining me on the podcast.
