Asking for help, receiving from others - weak weak weak. Instead, the self help gurus recommend we become more selfish and say no to as much as possible in order to keep up with our hectic lives. But I vehemently disagree. This podcast specifically relates to my painting "Spread my hands out wide", Giclée Fine Art Prints available on my website sharonschurderart.com.

Feeling invisible is a theme coming up in my art practise right now; being ignored and overlooked by people who could be helping me progress and spread my paintings to wider audiences. This podcast I explore my thoughts on "when things don't get handed to you on a plate". It's a great topic and so rarely discussed; that's what this podcast is about! We explore taboo and discuss the meaning around my paintings. This podcast specifically relates to my painting titled "A present from Above" - Giclée Fine Art Prints available on my website Sharonschurderart.com. If you resonate I would love to hear!

People marry, people get divorced and that's now an accepted part of life. But what happens when it goes wrong. Like really wrong. Today we talk about the ancient Jewish tradition of ex-husband and ex-wife giving each other their blessing when they divorce. And what happened when an ex refuses (spoiler alert: nothing). We speak to Rifka Meyer, owner of the luxurious Rifka Hair Salon who shot to fame within the London Jewish Community when news broke out that her ex-husband had still not given his blessing nearly TEN years after their divorce. Without both parties agreeing, she could not receive a Jewish document called a Gett which allows her to remarry easily. Here we talk about how the situation got this far and why no one was prepared to help her. How sharing her secret with the Instagram Influencer Dalia Oziel ultimately help create the organisation GettOutUK which has worked with the UK courts to now make this document refusal a CRIMINAL OFFENCE. Defiant husbands are now more likely to face jail time. It was an absolute honour to speak to this modest but determined entrepreneur. @rifkassalon @gettoutuk

Today we talk about miscarriage (baby loss prior to 24 weeks) , stillbirth (baby loss after 24 weeks pregnancy) and neonatal loss (baby dies within the first 28 days of birth). We are just getting started here on the podcast! Submit your thoughts, ideas and contributions to [email protected] or on the Podcast platform. I look forward to unpacking topics traditionally better left unsaid, considered taboo. By being brave enough to open these topics up, we can then focus on the core points, and these taboos can be elevated and ultimately turbocharge our souls.
