And to my little women on #InternationalWomensDay In a particularly tough & depressing week hearing the horrifying failings in the #EmmaCaldwell case & #SarahEverard Inquiry. I hope for a much safer, healthier and more equitable future for you girls. We have a long way to go. ๐Ÿ’œ

Resharing a video we made for Reverend @stuartmacq for his retirement during the pandemic in 2020. All the messages from UofG colleagues and friends and videos of him resonate even more today after his passing. A true @UofGlasgow #TeamUofG hero. ๐Ÿ’œ

Finished writing the first interview for my fertility/baby loss podcast ๐ŸŽ™๏ธ. So pleased this is finally happening. It's supporting me in the healing process and hoping it'll help others to feel less alone. So many brave & inspiring stories to tell - planned for the first series.

And finally, and most importantly, we'd like to thank our staff & students for their support & hard work during this difficult time. We must particularly acknowledge the work by UofG colleagues to manage the change to online teaching & assessment, which is no easy task. #TeamUofG

So, it's not even the end of January and so far in 2021: My dad has been gravely ill with Covid, my husband has had skin cancer (thankfully caught early and all taken away) and we've had a 5th miscarriage ๐Ÿ’”. No more 2021, you're breaking me.

Equipment purchased. Time to get cracking on a podcast project I've wanted to do for ages. Something positive needs to come out of such sadness with all our losses, break the stigma & help others feel less alone. Thanks for the help & encouragement @rebecca7roberts โค๏ธ๐ŸŽ™๏ธ

Working in Social Media is brilliant & creative but equally manic & stressful. Your work is out there to be judged & I constantly battle with being online 24/7. So important to take breaks & switch off for your own sanity & mental health. #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek #hesm

Whatever happens in life - the sadness of #babyloss is always there. It's part of your story. Lighting candles for Maya & our 4 other angel babies ๐Ÿค Always your Mumma. Thinking of everyone remembering their babies too. Let's keep talking & supporting one another. #WaveOfLight
