I'm so excited to publish the first in a little series of very special episodes just for December.This month you'll be hearing from some amazing brands who have done some truly excellent things this year. They are brands who do so much more than sell products....they work hard to do serious good.I've got the wonderful co-founders of Nursem to get things going. For those of you who have never encountered this amazing brand, it's all started during the pandemic when nurse Antonia (who is the co-founder) found that her hands were raw and bleeding. She joined forces with her husband to create the most wonderful hand cream that made a huge difference not only to her hands but to the hands of hundreds of medical staff.The rest is history. The brand has grown and now encompasses other skin loving ingredients. And as you'll hear, for every product purchased, they gift a month's worth to nurses and midwives.What a brand and what a couple. Can't wait for you to get to know them!If you'd like 20% off at nursem.co.uk just use the code OUTSPOKEN.
