Four days now every single episode has been unavailable on Apple Podcasts. Why? Super frustrating!

After listening to the episode I just burst into tears and had a cry. For Tracey, for all women, for myself. A very beautiful and open conversation, such raw honesty is so rare and so special.
Apple Podcasts5MissyPKUnited Kingdom2 months ago - Arnold Chiari syndrome
It's been fascinating listening to this episode - my nephew had surgery for Arnold Chiari Syndrome a few years ago when living in Thailand. I've never heard of anyone else diagnosed with this and was interested to hear about the alternative treatments available
Apple Podcasts5MummaGGUnited Kingdom3 months ago - The ‘antidote’
I love Emma’s latest venture - it’s like an antidote to the trend towards the superficial (and childlike, ‘tribal’ politics). No surprise it takes a woman to make something so real (as men, episodes like the perimenopause one should be almost ‘compulsory’ material). Emma you are a fabulous ‘teacher’ - and a joy !
