I know this is going to be a divisive episode! Opinions will be split!
Laura Currer and I pick apart the theory of 'reverse sexism', discuss the differences between that and toxic masculinity, generally go to town on the patriarchy and put dick pics firmly in THE BIN!

Please get involved with the discussion. We love hearing your feedback.

In the latest episode of the @Phemaleempowered podcast it was my absolute pleasure to talk to Rachael Moses, Consultant Respiratory Physiotherapist and Associate Director at Royal Brompton and Harefield, London.

Rachael and I had a refreshingly frank talk on the pandemic, the fatigue that's come with it and why people should just do what they're fucking told!

It wasn't all covid though as we took a magical roundabout ride through the NHS covering equality, diversity, inclusivity and also learn about Rachael's friend, the 'fanny physio'!

I've deemed Rachael the Geordie answer to @BreneBrown and her humour and compassion will hopefully teach you a thing or two about human condition and feel like a metaphorical rainbow (LGBTQIA or NHS!) in a metaphorical dark sky.

In the latest episode of the @phemaleempowered podcast Beppy tells us all about her covid experience... from contracting the virus (or not) to an untimely end to her career...

We also take a quick fire look at some of the days top headlines.

And Beppy talks us through her reimagining of the Bond franchise... 😂

At a time when people are struggling with their mental health, lots of people are fed up and we could all use a laugh... I hope this podcast can offer a rest bite from whatever you’ve got going on, an alternative look at familiar topics and a few lols of course.

In the first episode back after our Christmas break, what I'm now calling season 2... I welcome Kyla Edwards, spiritual healer and coach to offer some light on our emotions in the wake of a third UK lockdown.

Kyla and I discuss the need for individual healing, transformation from within, how to raise our vibration and transcend feelings of insecurity, worthlessness and judgement to help us find calm.

In what began as a conversation looking for advice on how to self sooth, overcome anxiety and fill our cups, I hope that what we offer up is a warm cuddle of a podcast that helps you to understand the Buddhist teaching that "to change the world around you, you must first change the world within."

In episode 11 of the @phemaleempowered podcast I 'hunt the good' with Morgan Richards @huntthegoodproject.

Grab a cuppa, sit back and melt into this chat with myself and my good pal Shmorgs.

Full of tangents, segways and deep dives into all the juicy stuff in life - expectations, self-help, beliefs, books, therapy, friendships... all of the things! We want you to get involved with the conversations, send us a message, drop us a comment, tell us what you think...

In this episode, episode 10(!), I speak to Laura Currer from Sparkle (@sparklewithlauracurrer) about kindness, compassion and reconnecting with yourself after trauma.

Laura’s mission statement is very much aligned with my own, she says “I want [women] to know their power, and to know that happiness is available to them at any time and that that is within them, it’s not external”.

Yes yes yes, I am so on board with that!

It’s an uplifting, honest, interesting, empowering, emotional episode but it’s important to say it’s also potentially triggering...

As we enter the holiday season loads of women are going to be under loads more pressure. Maybe even more than normal due to social bubbles, finances and strained relationships.

As you feel the weight of expectations I want you to know how wonderful you are.

How well you’re doing.

How to take some pressure off yourself, set boundaries and maybe tell some people to fuck off (politely 🤷🏼).
