January 20, 2022 Ep 539 Watershed Moment? Reflections on men’s violence against women

January 13, 2022 The Great Pivot: What would it take for you to change everything?
Have you ever questioned the path you’ve found yourself on? Ever fantasised about quitting your job and making a career change? Or maybe life just intervened and forced you to change lanes. For many or us, the pandemic has had a huge impact on our attitudes to work. It’s been a time of soul searching and reflection on what makes us happy and keeps us motivated. Today we speak to two women about the art of pivoting and why everyone should be encouraged to tune in to their inner voice.

Guests: Aideen Finnegan, broadcaster and host of How to Pivot Podcast and Sarah Shannon, yoga and meditation teacher who runs the Wild & Free Retreats in the Algarve, Portugal.

Presenter: Róisín Ingle

Producers: Jennifer Ryan and Suzanne Brennan

January 06, 2022 Ep 537 The Invisible Job: How sharing home and parental responsibilities makes everyone happier
Today, we celebrate Women’s Christmas or as it’s known in Ireland Nollaig na mBan. Traditionally this was the day when women got a day off after all the emotional and physical labour of making Christmas happen. But have we really moved on very much from the days when women did the majority of work in the home? And how much is this clear imbalance holding us back? In The Invisible Job: Parenting, Running a Home and Dividing Responsibility, Paula Fyans examines how this enduring inequality negatively impacts the lives of women, in terms of their career progression, financial security and their physical and mental health. In today’s episode, she speaks to Róisín Ingle about what this invisible, unpaid role entails and what we can do about changing the way we divide our daily tasks.
