Mortal And Strong - Episode 26 - Juliet

This episode was recorded remotely (not in a studio) as part of our campaign travelling the UK to raise awareness and support for charities. To support the campaign or learn more, please visit the website.

We are delighted to interview the beautifully witty Juliet, sharing her journey with primary breast cancer and how she fought for nearly 2 years to have a full double mastectomy for symmetry and has never regretted going flat! This interview is such an important one to raise awareness on how some women are not always fully informed of their options following a mastectomy, and how important and empowering it is to not only have options - but have going fully flat as one of those options! Juliet was repeatedly denied the double mastectomy, but since going flat her images have travelled the world raising awareness to empower other women. Juliet's motto is representation and visibility, trying to empower women to realise they have choices. Juliet's light humour and humble approach to life is wonderfully inspiring, we laughed as we explored everything from big boobs, no boobs, menopause, mental health and finding a new joy from gardening after being given seed packets as a gift when starting treatment. Juliet is a wonderful addition to the 100 Voices and hopefully her story will help empower other women to make choices that feel right for them.
