Product Information

Glittering a Turd is more than just another cancer memoir; it’s a handbook for living life to the fullest, shining a new perspective on survival and learning to glitter your own turd, whatever it might be. Kris has survived the unsurvivable for twelve years. Fans of Love Island might recognise Laura from season 4 of the show, but others will likely know her from her incredible sporting career as a pro surfer and model. She’d been making waves in the sporting world from her early teens, clinching the title of UK Champion at just 14 years old before deciding to retire at 21. Kris Hallenga is absolutely right in seeking second opinions, questioning her specialists, enquiring about the latest treatments. She has had to learn the incredibly shitty way of medical negligence and incompetence. In this episode of the podcast Kris has Rae reflect on what truly made her happy, how knowing that the day would come softened its blow slightly, and the joys of motherhood but the difficulty in juggling the personal and professional life.

After a successful rendezvous between rhinos, pregnancy hormones are monitored through faecal sampling; these droppings will even let the team know when to seclude a female so she can give birth in peace.

And yet I still feel anyone who lives with a chronic or terminal condition, and really LIVES with it, is inspirational. I know how hard chronic illnesses can be, and whilst my chronic pain is nowhere near a terminal cancer diagnosis, my belief still stands. But Darren’s journey hasn’t always been smooth. His father died by suicide while in prison when Darren was just 11 years old. As he and Kris sit down for a chat, he explains what a profound impact this had on his life, how it became a catalyst for him exploring the world of comedy, his experiences with therapy and the difficult years that fell in between. Kris was living a totally normal life as a twenty-three-year-old: travelling the world, falling in love, making plans. However, when she found a lump in her boob and was told that it was not only cancer, but also incurable, life took on a completely new meaning. She was diagnosed at an age when life wasn’t something to be grateful for, but a goddamn right.

It has put things into perspective and taught me that no day will be too hard. It is becoming a common theme to have doctors dismiss or misdiagnose patients with these kind of diseases... and one thing that seems like a common denominator is that the patient usually is a woman. It was in the last 3 memoirs I listened to, but those 3 memoirs were also by women.

Beginning her TV career at just 15, Fearne Cotton has been no stranger to experiences many of us can dream of but also those that can be the stuff of nightmares. Whilst outwardly a happy, carefree person the press spotlight, social media comments and more all fed into her anxiety. Sophie is a powerhouse as you’ll hear, but it’s taken a lot of work and reflection to get to where she is today and work on the relationship with herself, her family, her friends and the wider world. I remember when Kris and Coppafeel first came to the public knowledge - I can’t believe that’s over a decade ago now! What an inspiring story of a 23 year olds journey with what started as breast cancer during a pandemic. I loved how witty it was and how the authors spirits were so high. I’ve read a few memoirs and this was so powerful. This episode is sponsored by BetterHelp. Visit betterhelp.com/GAT today to get 10% off your first month.
