Season 3: Episode 06: Lauren Mahon

Lauren Mahon is an inspiration. I hadn’t met her before this recording (well, technically I still haven’t as we recorded remotely), but I feel like I’ve known her for years.

Lauren is the brainchild behind Girl Vs Cancer. The community, platform and merchandise brand that she set up after devastatingly being diagnosed with breast cancer at just 31. Her motivation to crush the cancer taboo amongst the younger generation is so admirable, and her energy is a force to be reckoned with!

She candidly talks about her cancer diagnosis, how she handled it, and we both speak openly about the “cliffs edge” you feel upon receiving the all clear. I open up about my experiences of dealing with cancer when my brother was diagnosed in 2015, which felt enlightening as it was a conversation with someone who knew exactly what I felt and the darkness that came with the experience, as a family member supporting their sibling.

We bond over crisps, specifically Hula Hoops and I think we’ll be friends for life!

Today I’m double dipping with Sami Tamimi. As the co-founder of Ottolenghi, he has helped bring Middle Eastern food to homes around the world, changing the way we eat and think about food. Although we haven’t seen eachother in a while, he’s been as busy as ever. He’s released a new cookbook, Boustany, which focuses on vegetable led dishes he grew up with in Palestine. Sami is incredibly talented, and I feel so honoured to be back in his presence again.

I’m joined by Lauren Mahon; a dear friend of mine. We recorded in season 3(!), I didn’t know her then and off the back of the original episode, we have become firm friends. She’s the woman behind Girl Vs Cancer and a pioneer when it comes to talking about cancer, changing the narrative and bringing some positivity during dark times. Lauren was diagnosed with breast cancer at the age of 31 and started her platform to help herself and those around her going through the same diagnosis’s and navigate the rollercoaster that is a cancer journey. We met at hers and ate her favourite take out - Deeney's!
