Three series. Different perspectives. One shared belief: our stories deserve to be heard.
What started as a sticker has become something much bigger than we ever imagined.
When we first collaborated with Grace at Shelby Studios, we had no idea how far her artwork would travel. What began as a simple creative idea has grown alongside This Won't End Me (TWEM), becoming part of a wider vision rooted in storytelling, community and collective healing.
Today, we're excited to announce the upcoming launch of This Won't End Us, a new podcast exploring the experiences, research and conversations shaping how we understand reproductive health, chronic illness and the people affected by them.
And our very first episode is coming next week!
Why This Won't End Us?
At TWEM, we've always believed in the power of conversation.
Through our workshops, exhibitions and community programmes, we've witnessed what happens when people are given space to share their experiences, engage with research and connect with others.
We've also learned that while our experiences with chronic illness and reproductive health may be deeply personal, they rarely exist in isolation.
Our health affects our relationships, our identities, our communities and the way we navigate the world.
This Won't End Us is an extension of that understanding.
It's a space where lived experience meets research, where creativity meets advocacy, and where conversations can challenge assumptions, build understanding and bring people together.
Introducing Our Three Podcast Series
Each series offers a different perspective, but all three share a common purpose: to amplify voices, encourage curiosity and create more meaningful conversations about health.
Voices Unheard
Because every experience deserves to be heard.
Voices Unheard centres the personal stories and lived experiences of people navigating endometriosis, reproductive health conditions and chronic illness.
We'll explore the realities that often go unseen, from relationships and identity to medical dismissal, mental health and the everyday complexities of living with a condition that others may not fully understand.
These are conversations that remind us there is no single experience of illness, and that every story has something to teach us.
What's Next for Women's Health?
Bringing research out of the journals and into the conversation.
This series explores the research, innovations and emerging ideas shaping the future of women's and reproductive healthcare.
We'll speak with researchers, clinicians and other experts about the questions they're investigating, the challenges that remain and what their findings could mean for patients and communities.
Our aim is to make research more accessible, encourage informed conversations and help bridge the gap between scientific knowledge and lived experience.
Allies & Changemakers
Because meaningful change takes more than one voice.
Health advocacy doesn't happen in isolation.
Allies & Changemakers brings together the people, organisations, creatives and advocates working to challenge stigma, improve understanding and create change.
We'll explore what meaningful allyship looks like, how communities can support one another and the different ways people are using their skills, platforms and experiences to make a difference.
From creative expression to community-led action, this series celebrates the power of collaboration.
From a Sticker to Something Bigger
We also want to take a moment to thank Grace at Shelby Studios, whose original artwork has become part of this next chapter.
What began as a sticker has evolved into something we couldn't have anticipated, a creative identity that now represents a much wider conversation.
And perhaps that's what makes this journey so meaningful.
This Won't End Us may have grown from TWEM, but it isn't just about us. It's about the people who share their stories, the researchers asking important questions, the advocates challenging existing systems and the communities creating space for one another.
It's about recognising that collective understanding and healing can begin when we bring those different perspectives together.
