""For the first time, I approached social media from a place of vulnerability. It wasn't healthy. What started as something very innocent, looking at recipes, ended up with me being anxious about everything from shampoo to what I'm washing my dishes with.""
""She Thrives will transform the way women discuss health. I knew there were people that did have the answers.""
""One of the main barriers is the inaccurate information that women are exposed to on social media, which can lead to confusion and anxiety about their health.""
Barbora Gray, struggling with fertility, created She Thrives, an online community aimed at dispelling myths and breaking taboos surrounding women's health. The platform addresses menopause, mental wellbeing, periods, and fertility, offering a safe space for women in the North East to access evidence-based information. Inspired by the Woman of the North report, which highlighted health disparities among women in the North of England, Gray aims to transform discussions about health. The initiative is supported by local NHS organizations and medical professionals concerned about misinformation on social media.
