Celebrating ladies of all ages, Lisa's guests explore experiences in their lives from the female perspective.

Dear Ladies (and everyone else),

Thank you so much for all of your emails when I made a call out for women of all generations to write in and share your stories with our audience at RTL Today.

I am so grateful for your honesty and opening up of sensitive stories that touch a woman's life through the ages.

In this show, my guests are:

Ginevra Ortiz

Laura Fagan

Emily Amor

Federica Maestri

Shivani Sondhi

Lilani Abeywickrama

Elisabete (Lisy) Antunes

Iryna Sagaidak

Wei Hu Chai

Bessie Fischer-Bohn

Sasha Kehoe

Viviane Harnois

We cover so many topics from body image, and how very young girls are made to feel on this subject, to the tough transition through teenage years.

Laura mentions the effects of an early abusive relationship and Emily talks about her experience with long covid.

Shivani and Wei explain the importance of the work within a company to create space to develop company policy which ultimately helps everyone.

Federica Maestri is a studying computer science at the University of Luxembourg and talks about the derth of females in this subject area. She is also the President of the Golden Z Club at the university which is part of Zonta Luxembourg - an organisation that advocates for women's rights.

Lisy bravely opens up about the experience of abortion and the fight within us: the 'good-girl' versus the 'independent woman'.

Iryna suffers from intense period pain to the point of hospitalisation in her earlier years. Through time, Iryna has now developed her own independent work and personal life to flow around the energy changes in her monthly hormonal cycle.

Lilani has moved from the medical world into that of business and tells us some of the comments she received from potential male mentors.

Bessie kindly joins us from Berlin once more and reflects on the conversations which have changed and those that need more work. She also echoes the worlds of Lilani.

Sasha, as always helps to bring the thoughts of the guests together and also adds her own experiences as a young journalist.

Viviane, now retired, reflects on a lifetime of working and living in different countries and how we also need to consider conversations with men, and points out that things will be sorted when we don't need an International Women's Day anymore.
