  • Plain Talk - A Special Edition- For Women Only

    Send us Fan Mail

    This special podcast honours the remarkable stories of women and sheds light on the trials women face daily.  It encourages us as women to embrace our journey, reach out to others for help where needed and support each other at every stage.  

    Where men only deal with puberty.. we deal with a myriad of challenges, some life and death.

    It reminds us that we all experience these challenges and it is only by reaching out for assistance can we overcome them.

    In this heartfelt episode, we explore the themes of grief and hope. Join us as we delve into the emotions that often accompany loss, acknowledging the weight of sadness while highlighting the beauty of cherished memories. 

    Through a compassionate lens, we discuss the importance of allowing ourselves to feel grief and how recognising this pain can pave the way for healing. 

    We also emphasize the powerful role of community and connection in our journey through sorrow, reminding listeners that they are never alone. Tune in for an uplifting conversation that encourages embracing both the clouds of grief and the vast sky of love and positivity that exists alongside it.
