  • Womenkind- JintyLou-both collectively beautiful inside and out

    I happened across these fantabulous Queens while I was in doubt of myself.

    They built me up like a buttercup and continue to light each day with constructive intentions to improve the female world.. I continue that intention while passing on the message of hope to fellow ladybirds whether it be menopause ranting raging and of course..

    Stair dancing

    Keep going gals

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

"Stop Making a Fuss": Birth Trauma with Rosie Taylor
Q: And at what point did you move from being angry about the situation to recognizing it as a systemic problem affecting many women?
Over time, talking to other women, doing research, and starting my podcast helped me see this wasn't just my story. It became clear that red flags are routinely missed, there's a pattern of dismissal, and the lack of centralized harm data means many suffer in silence without proper accountability or care.
"Stop Making a Fuss": Birth Trauma with Rosie Taylor
Q: Rosie, before we get into the bigger picture, can you tell us a bit more about your own birthing experience?
My birth started normally with a water birth, but after delivery I sustained a pubic symphysis diastasis, a rare pelvic injury. The real issue was that I wasn't diagnosed for a week; I was told to crack on despite excruciating pain, which set off long-term trauma and questions about what postnatal care should look like.
Unschooled Motherhood, with Caro Giles
Q: Where can people find Unschooled and connect with you online?
Unschooled is available everywhere, with strong encouragement to support independent bookshops and libraries; Caro also maintains a presence on Instagram and Substack under the handle Unschooled.
Unschooled Motherhood, with Caro Giles
Q: So what shifts culturally and politically do you think need to happen to change this narrative?
The shift starts with recognizing that mothers and women advocating for their children deserve respect and a loud, listened-to voice in medical and educational settings, followed by government acknowledgment that school is not the right fit for all children and the need for alternative provisions.
The Witches of Scotland - Part 2: Could it happen again? With Claire Mitchelle and Zoe Venditozzi
Q: Why balance horror with humor in portraying witchcraft histories?
Humor helps cope with trauma, keeps audiences engaged, and makes difficult histories accessible while still honoring the gravity of the abuses.
