Helen celebrates two years of Women in Focus with a special anniversary panel, bringing together six inspiring women from the podcast's first year. Linda Weber, Angela de la Cruz, Siobhan Hazzan, Martha Vickery, Anne Nisbet, and Lins from Naked Wanderings unite as one panel to reflect on how naturism has transformed their relationships with their bodies, challenged societal misconceptions, and created communities of acceptance. From Martha's "hobbit toes" to Siobhan's conversation with her daughter about swimming pools, the panel shares honest, often humorous insights into body confidence, the realization that nobody cares how you look, and the freedom that comes from letting go of the male gaze. The conversation explores generational attitudes, the rising presence of women in naturist leadership, and the ongoing challenge of explaining to family and friends that social nudity is about acceptance, not exhibition.
Helen also shares news of her new website, Women In Naturism, a dedicated resource for women new to exploring naturism.
