Roman Found: The Women Smashing Stereotypes in Metal Detecting & Treasure Hunting This one's for anyone who's ever looked at a male-dominated space and thought, “Nah—this needs shaking up.”Ellie and Lucie, aka Roman Found, didn't just pick up a metal detector during lockdown for a bit of fun—they accidentally unearthed a full-blown passion, a badass community, and a whole new way to tell the stories of the past.What started as two cousins tagging along in muddy fields has turned into a creative movement—bringing history, storytelling, and a whole lot of girl power to a hobby people often assume is just old blokes in camouflage trousers.We talk treasure laws, ancient finds, intuition, social media backlash, and what it really takes to build something meaningful—when the world isn't quite expecting you to.Whether you love history, collect weird hobbies, or just enjoy watching women unapologetically do their thing—this episode's got something for you.

Sheletta Brundidge, an award-winning media personality, author, and autism advocate, is making waves in the conversation about neurodiversity in the workplace. Her recent podcast episode on autism workers is an eye-opener for businesses, parents, and individuals on the spectrum, highlighting the need for inclusion and support. Championing Autism Awareness in the Workplace Brundidge, a mother of three autistic children, knows firsthand the challenges and triumphs that come with navigating a neurodiverse world. In her podcast, she explores the unique strengths that autistic employees bring to the workforce—sharp focus, attention to detail, and innovative problem-solving skills. However, she also sheds light on the barriers that often prevent them from thriving in traditional work environments. Breaking Stereotypes and Building Opportunities One of the most powerful aspects of Brundidge's podcast is its ability to challenge misconceptions. Too often, autistic individuals are overlooked for jobs due to outdated stereotypes. But as Brundidge points out, many companies, especially in tech, finance, and creative industries—are discovering the immense value of hiring neurodiverse employees. A Call to Action for Employers Brundidge doesn't just talk about problems—she offers solutions. She encourages businesses to rethink their hiring practices, offer training on neurodiversity, and how to foster an inclusive culture. The message is clear: when autistic workers are given the right support, they don't just succeed, they excel. Why You Should Listen Whether you're an employer looking to build a more inclusive team, an autistic individual seeking workplace advice, or an advocate for neurodiversity, this podcast is a must-listen. Brundidge's candid, insightful discussion makes it clear that hiring autistic workers isn't just the right thing to do—it's a smart business move.

Brooke meets special guests Liselle Terrett and Heather Johnson to engage in a vibrant discussion about their groundbreaking project, "Not F**king Sorry" a provocative cabaret theatre piece that challenges societal norms surrounding disability and queerness. They explore the fluidity of identity, the importance of creating safe spaces for marginalised voices, and the collaborative process of developing the show with learning-disabled and neurodivergent actors. KEY TAKEAWAYS Everyone may experience disability at some point in their lives. This intersectionality is central to the themes explored in the project. The creation of the performance "Not Fucking Sorry" is a collaborative effort involving learning disabled and neurodivergent actors. The process includes devising, improvisation, and the incorporation of the actors' personal experiences and voices into the narrative. The show aims to confront and challenge societal norms surrounding disability and sexuality. It seeks to address the marginalisation of disabled individuals and the misconceptions surrounding their sexual agency, using humour and provocative content to engage the audience. Establishing a safe and respectful environment in the rehearsal room is crucial for the creative process. This includes clear communication, support for mental health, and a focus on care, allowing actors to express themselves freely and authentically. BEST MOMENTS "Disability is sexy. Queer is sexy. It's fluid. It's movable. We'll all be disabled at some point." "You're there to make sure that the actors can do their best jobs." "We never get the chance to go out to the pub, to the club. So let's make a show that we create that." "The political message is more urgent... the world is... lacking in pathos or nuance." "You don't know the cracks and the scars that you have given us, that we carry." VALUABLE RESOURCES https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/disabled-and-proud/id1621152878 Not F**king Sorry - https://accessallareasproductions.org/production/not-fkin-sorry/ HOST BIO Disabled and Proud is the show that brings listeners a different perspective on disability. Each week this podcast highlights an awesome disabled guest speaking about their own disability; why they are proud to be disabled and why they are proud to be themselves. The conversations in this show will look at what challenges these amazing people face socially, mentally, physically and life in general. This show is raw, open, honest, funny, welcoming and educational. Disabled & Proud does exactly what it says on the tin! And whilst we are creating this space for disabled people to be unashamedly themselves, without the need to conform to society, this is also not about toxic positivity. This show will be shining a big, bright light on disability without it being “Paralympic or pity”. As you will hear disability is WHOLE, COMPLETE & PERFECT and whilst the topic of disability can be quite heavy - and we definitely don't shy away from the bad days - this podcast is also about having fun too! Our aim is to play a part in reclaiming the word disability - turning it from inadequacy to perfection!INSTAGRAM! https://www.instagram.com/disabledandproudpodcast/?hl=en: https://www.instagram.com/disabledandproudpodcast/?hl=en

Today's episode is a very special milestone, because…we've hit 150 episodes!!As I reflect on my (almost) 3 year podcasting journey, I can't help but feel immense gratitude for this space, and this community. Podcasting has allowed me to be my unfiltered, authentic, and very (im)perfect self. I get to be a human, and show up and do what I love every single day. This is truly my FAVORITE way to connect with you!For this 150th episode, I'm sharing an EXCITING announcement (trust me - you don't want to miss it)! I also want to dive into a topic that I'm passionate about, and NEEDS to be addressed.I don't know about you, but I am pretty tired of all of the stereotypes surrounding women in fitness (i.e. the very common women ‘shouldn't' be lifting weights, because it will make them ‘bulky'). Men (and even other women) tend to have strong opinions about what women ‘should' and ‘shouldn't' be doing when it comes to their health & fitness, and frankly, I'm OVER IT! While there's nothing wrong with wanting to grow your glutes or build your biceps, fitness is SO much more than aesthetics. The strength training benefits for women are endless!! When you commit to focusing on YOUR fitness goals and surround yourself with a community of other women, you will be unstoppable. It's time for us to be strong, be confident, take up more space, and be empowered as women. We are badass, and we are capable of SO much! Thank you again for being here - what a wild ride, and a GIFT it has been. I look forward to helping you unf*ck your fitness for a very long time!!In this episode, we cover:Celebrating my podcasting journey + an EXCITING announcementThe all-too recurrent myth that is ‘lifting will make you bulky'Common stereotypes affecting women & their fitnessThe endless strength training benefits for womenThe unnecessary hate women receive when they share their fitness journeyBuilding confidence in your workouts at the gym, at home, etc.Overcoming pressure + judgement from others when you're on your fitness journey Links/Resources:Join FIT CLUB, my monthly membership with workouts you can do at home or the gymPRIVATE COACHING is my 1:1 program (choose 3 or 6 month option)Connect with me on Instagram @kristycastillofit and @unfuckyourfitnesspodcast so we can keep this conversation going-be sure to tag me in your posts and stories!Join my FREE Facebook group, Unf*ck Your FitnessClick HERE for my favorite fitness & life things!Send me a text with episode ideas or just to say hi!

Are you a woman facing the financial challenges of divorce or widowhood? In this episode of the True Love Knots Podcast, Maria is joined by Wes Cuprill, who shares how his family's experiences inspired him to help women find financial security during life's toughest transitions. He explains why women often face unique hurdles, like longer life expectancies and higher healthcare costs, and stresses the importance of a personalized, values-based approach to financial planning. Wes also warns against one-size-fits-all advisors who push products over real solutions and highlights the power of working with someone who understands your goals. Ready to take control of your financial future with confidence? This conversation will inspire you to start today.   Standout Quotes: “Financial advisors, many of whom we work with, will actively say they don't like working with women, which blows my mind. One, it's incredibly sexist to say it. And then two, on top of that, women are our best clients.” “It's our job to help, not just from the numbers standpoint, but also to give them peace of mind. I think that's one thing that is maybe misunderstood with advisors. Yeah, we're numbers guys, certainly, but we try to be more than that.” “Women will answer with things like it means financial freedom. It means I get to spend more time with my kids doing the things I always wanted to do.” “We don't believe in pushing a product first; we believe in truly holistic financial planning. You can go buy a product on your own. You don't need us to invest your money. You don't need us to buy an annuity or anything like that.” Key Takeaways: Assess your current financial advisor - Do they truly understand and cater to the unique needs of women? Look for an advisor who takes a holistic, values-based approach, not just a one-size-fits-all product pusher. Confront your financial fears head-on - Whether it's uncertainty about your resources or feeling overwhelmed by the planning process, don't let those emotions paralyze you. An experienced advisor can provide the guidance and support to overcome those hurdles. Reflect on your retirement vision - What does a fulfilling, financially secure retirement look like to you? Dig deeper than just the numbers and get clear on your personal values and goals. Embrace a long-term, patient mindset - Resist the temptation of chasing get-rich-quick schemes or market timing. Proven, disciplined investment strategies built on sound principles are the path to sustainable wealth. Seek an advisor who can be a true partner - Look for someone who will not only crunch the numbers, but also provide the emotional coaching and accountability to help you stay the course, no matter what life throws your way.   Episode Timeline: [00:03] Introducing Wes Cuprill [01:51] How Family History Inspired Wes' Mission [03:50] Common Challenges Widowed Women Face with Finances [06:41] Unique Financial Needs Women Should Plan For [09:45] Tackling Retirement Hurdles for Baby Boomers [12:16] Why Holistic Financial Planning Is the Real Solution [15:10] How to Find a Financial Advisor Who Truly Gets You [18:06] Crypto Risks and Emotional Traps in Investing [20:18] Breaking Stereotypes and Empowering Women to Invest [23:09] Free Resources to Build Your Financial Confidence   Learn more about Wes Cuprill on his socials: Website: https://moneyandclarity.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/advisorarchitect/ WWW Podcast: https://feeds.buzzsprout.com/2399284.rss Suddenly Single: A Divorced Woman's Guide to Financial Security: https://www.amazon.com/Suddenly-Single-Divorced-Financial-Security/dp/B0CFCYSN5J Unexpectedly Single: A Widow's Guide to a Secure Retirement: https://www.amazon.com/Unexpectedly-Single-Widows-Secure-Retirement/dp/B0CWL762PB   Learn more about Maria Romano and True Love Knots at: Website: https://trueloveknots.com Email: maria@trueloveknots.com Phone: +1 702-501-4150

Send Wilk a text with your feedback!Empowering the Next Generation: Breaking Stereotypes and Building BridgesI'm excited to bring you an inspiring story of transformation and hope with this week's guest, Quay Hanna. Quay's journey is one of those rare, raw tales that has the power to reshape perspectives. Back in the mid-90s, Quay was just another young man from rural Pennsylvania with preconceived notions and a limited view of the world. But that all changed when he embarked on a nine-week Greyhound bus journey across 37 states. What began as a simple cross-country trip turned into a life-altering experience, chronicled in his memoir Bus America: Revelation of a Redneck.In the years since, Quay has taken his lessons from the road and transformed them into over 1,300 presentations across multiple countries, speaking with honesty and heart about the importance of understanding, diversity, and confronting stereotypes. His ability to connect with people of all backgrounds and bridge divides has made him a sought-after speaker and a passionate advocate for youth empowerment and community building.Quay and I also share a common bond as fellow advisors on the ProHuman Foundation, an organization committed to fostering unity and human dignity. Today, we'll dive into the profound insights he gained on his journey, discuss his work in education and youth empowerment, and explore how simple human connections can dismantle even the most entrenched prejudices.TakeawaysA Greyhound bus trip opened Quay's eyes to his own prejudices.Quay's experiences highlight the complexity of identity.He learned that stereotypes often dictate behavior.Quay's transformation was sparked by genuine interactions.There is great importance in the understanding of others.Ignorance can lead to fear, which breeds hate.Quay's journal documented his evolving perspective. Personal connections can break down racial barriers.Conversations can challenge our preconceived notions.Empathy is key in understanding others.Youth today crave genuine connections.Education can bridge divides in society.Prejudices can be challenged through shared experiences.Community support is vital for youth empowerment.Empowering youthWhat have you done today to make your life a better life? What have you done today to make the world a better place? The world is a better place if we are better people. That begins with each of us as individuals. Be kind to one another. Be grateful for everything you've got. Make each and every day the day that you want it to be!

Age diversity and cross-generational synergy can transform an organization.Most of us know age diversity matters in the workplace. But according to UCLA's Bob McCann, we're thinking about it all wrong: it's not just about having different generations present — it's about creating meaningful connections between them.As director of UCLA's Leadership Communication Program and founder of the McCann Group, McCann has spent years researching intergenerational workplace dynamics. With four to six generations now working side by side, he says there's never been a better time to create synergies between the old and the young."There's a tremendous opportunity for meeting and interacting with people who are different than you, for increasing a variety of potential outcomes in business in a positive way, if we can maximize our intergenerational engagement," he says. His research reveals that while many organizations focus on gender and ethnic diversity, age diversity often gets overlooked in DEI initiatives — despite its crucial role in workplace success.In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, McCann joins Matt Abrahams to discuss how organizations can move beyond superficial age diversity to create meaningful cross-generational connections. From reverse mentoring programs to shadow boards, they explore practical ways leaders can harness the power of generational difference to drive innovation and collaboration.Episode Reference Links:Bob McCannEp.67 What Is Normal?

Today, I'm joined by Olivia - a Welsh International elite endurance athlete, ACA chartered accountant and first time Mummy to 10 week old baby Alexis, to talk about her running journey, the many transitions she's experienced, and the power of never underestimating yourself.Olivia's path in running has evolved over the years, from being a competitive short-distance sprinter to embracing the world of long-distance running.Her passion and love for the sport are unmistakable - she describes the mental escape and euphoria it offers, the sense of purpose it brings, and its profound impact on her mindset. For her, running is freedom - especially during those golden-hour runs along the water. This intrinsic joy, she believes, has fueled her incredible progress and achievements.Earlier this year, Olivia became pregnant. Determined to maintain her routine, sense of identity, and well-being, she continued training through this transition. And just a few weeks after giving birth, she returned to competition, redefining what it means to balance the roles of mother, athlete, and professional - an experience she describes as truly surreal.She also discusses how her perspective on competition has shifted with her evolving responsibilities, the gratitude for her body's strength, the empowerment she's found, and her lessons in never underestimating what our bodies are capable of.

Does masculinity or femininity exist, or are they artificial social constructs?Through songs, Dr. Seuss-like poetry, and profound and practical insights, Scott explores typical stereotypes of masculinity, often embraced by men to their detriment, and how to shift false bravado to new ways of living authentic lives filled with healthy emotional connections and relationships.
