  • “More importantly, a mother”

    I was looking for pods with Endometriosis at its heart and came across of an episode with Emma Barnett. I like her as a person and knowing that like muse, she’s been through an ordeal that is IVF while having dilapidating chronic Endometriosis I started to listen to the episode almost immediately. All good until.. the hosts have introduced Emma listing many of her fantastic qualities ending with “[..]and more importantly - a mother” …

    Oh I really wanted to like this podcast, but sadly not for me. I’m sorry but I do care about ethics and the total disregard for it was really sad to listen to.

  • Some what concerned about the “factual information “

    Think you need to be careful who you present. There are a lot of non facts which could be misleading to those who don’t know differently. “I think “ is very different from “this is a fact” !

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

ADHD, Perimenopause and When The Mask Stops Working | Dr Helen Wall
Q: If women listening feel they would like to move forward with an ADHD diagnosis, what would be the first steps they should take?
Wall suggests telling someone trusted, deciding whether a formal diagnosis is right for them, and recording symptoms and experiences across their life, including masking. She recommends using available screening tools and taking supportive information or someone who knows them to a GP appointment.
ADHD, Perimenopause and When The Mask Stops Working | Dr Helen Wall
Q: What does ADHD look like in adult women?
Wall says ADHD can be difficult to distinguish from hormone-related changes, so it helps to consider whether attention and organization challenges were present earlier in life. Many women have inattentive symptoms, internalized hyperactivity, perfectionism or people-pleasing, and may mask their difficulties.
Dani Dyer: “I cried every day” — motherhood, body image and finding confidence
Q: Do you think you had postpartum depression?
Dyer says she cannot know whether she had postpartum depression, but recalls crying frequently and says support from her mother and her partner's mother helped her through the period.
Dani Dyer: “I cried every day” — motherhood, body image and finding confidence
Q: Do you think having your kids, especially your little girls, has made you be more proactive about the way you talk about the body, the way you see your body and all that stuff?
Dyer says becoming a mother made her more mindful of body image because she wants her children, especially her daughters, to feel beautiful and avoid being hard on themselves about food and weight.
Gemma and Claire: The Clips We Still Talk About
Q: What are the biggest myths or challenges around HRT and women's fear of having it prescribed?
Louise Newson says the term HRT can obscure which hormones are being used and distinguishes body-identical hormones from older synthetic hormones. She says fear of breast cancer has been influenced by a 2002 study involving synthetic progesterone, and argues that clinicians need better education on current evidence.
