And what drives her forward to clear hurdles such as an usual childhood, drug addiction and most recently, brain surgery for a benign tumour that she nicknamed Jeffrey?As the 50th anniversary of Papua New Guinea's independence from Australia approaches later this month, we hear why the country is currently one of the most dangerous places in the world to be a woman. Two-thirds of women in PNG have experienced some form of sexual violence in their lifetime, which is almost twice the global average. Nuala McGovern was joined by Tahina Booth, a former elite athlete and founder of Grass Skirt Project who is trying to break the cycle of gender-based violence through sport and Joku Hennah, a journalist and activist.Jung Chang's Wild Swans, the epic family memoir that followed the lives of Jung, her mother and grandmother through China's 20th century, was banned in mainland China, but was a smash hit worldwide upon publication in 1991.

We've all heard of the fight or flight response in the face of danger, but there's also freeze, and then there's fawn, also known as people pleasing, or appeasing. Clinical psychologist Dr Ingrid Clayton has written about this in her new book, Fawning - Why the Need to Please Makes Us Lose Ourselves and How to Find our Way Back. Nuala spoke to Ingrid about her own experiences that made her want to help others overcome this form of trauma response and what fawning looks like in practice.In 2023 Sophie Ellis-Bextor's Murder on the Dancefloor went viral on TikTok after Emerald Fennell used it in a key scene in the film, Saltburn.

Episode 165 - Bonus Friday Episode 2 - Doubt, not fitting in and no publishing dealWelcome to a very special bonus edition of The Menopause and Cancer Podcast. I'm Dani Binnington — cancer survivor, menopause advocate, and founder of Menopause and Cancer — and today marks the start of something I've been quietly working on for years.This is our second bonus episode, and I'm once again inviting you behind the scenes of my brand-new book, Navigating Menopause After Cancer.I've shared bits of this story before — how the book almost didn't happen — and how I've personally learned so much just from listening to podcasts like this one. Today, I want to take you deeper into that journey.No one ever asked me to write this book. There was no agent or publisher knocking at my door with a deal. But over the years, as I kept meeting more of you — in person, online, through messages — I knew there was a real need for a go-to guide. Something that brought all the insights and expert advice from the podcast together in one place.And… right at the end of today's episode, I'll tell you about a little turning point in my story - writing a paragraph for Davina McCall's book Menopausing. It was a small moment that gave me a big push forward.If you've ever wondered what it takes to turn lived experience into something that can help others — or you're just curious about what didn't make it into the final version — this mini-series is for you.I'm so glad you're here.Episode Highlights:00:00 Intro03:40 "Creating a Menopause Support Community"07:52 Discovering Self-Publishing Opportunities16:05 Writing “Navigating Menopause After Cancer”19:59 Book Collaboration Breakthrough22:30 Trust Your IntuitionConnect with us:For more information and resources visit our website: www.menopauseandcancer.org Or follow us on Instagram @menopause_and_cancerJoin our Facebook group: www.facebook.com/groups/menopauseandcancerchathub

Kate Muir's name might not ring any immediate bells, but her documentaries with Davina McCall about the perimenopause, menopause and HRT made quite the stir. And rightly so, given they busted myths around HRT that have been stopping women asking for it for decades. Mick got on the Zoom with the women's health campaigner, documentary maker, journalist and author to talk about the menopause movement, healthcare's reluctance to keep up, the ridiculous idea that middle age is boring, and Kate's latest book, How to Have a Magnificent Midlife Crisis.

Tune into this compelling episode of the Plant Based News Podcast as we delve into the controversial and evolving landscape of veganism, examining everything from diet misinformation to celebrity endorsements and the real-life implications of being vegan. In this episode: - Diet Misinformation: Join us as we dissect the alarming claims made on The Diary of a CEO, where a guest endorsed the carnivore diet and dismissed the necessity of fiber, arguing against the viability of vegan diets. We counter these claims with insights from medical experts like Dr. Gemma Newman, emphasizing the need for factual accuracy and responsibility in media portrayals of nutrition. - Celebrity Insights: Explore the changing perspectives of celebrities like Gordon Ramsay on veganism, and UK TV presenter Davina McCall's recent reflections on reducing meat intake, suggesting it feels "wrong." We analyze the impact of their views on public perceptions and discuss the potential shift in celebrity diet trends. - Dating and Veganism: Dive into the dynamics of dating as a vegan with Klaus, Sarah, and Shabnam. From the appeal of sharing similar environmental concerns to navigating mixed-diet relationships, we cover the complexities and joys of vegan dating, sharing both personal anecdotes and general advice. - Industry Influence: Assess the tension between health recommendations and industry-driven narratives through a critique by Chris Packham on a pro-meat advertising campaign. We delve into how these conflicting messages affect consumer choices and public health.

On this week's episode of The Midlife Mentors podcast we're absolutely thrilled to be joined by Kate Muir, who is well known for being the creator and producer of the groundbreaking documentary with Davina McCall on the menopause which premiered in 2021 and changed the menopause conversation in the UK forever.As a women's health advocate and author of books on the menopause and the pill, this conversation with Kate is incredibly uplifting, insightful and informative. She shares how she had her own midlife crisis, brought on by the menopause - and brilliantly, how the initial rejections for her documentary concept on the menopause fuelled her passion to get the message out there even more and eventually led to Channel 4 and Davina McCall becoming involved. Kate talks about HRT, the importance of combining it with lifestyle factors such as weight lifting and nutrition and also the impact menopause has on our brain health. We know you're going to find this a fascinating episode and we can't wait to hear your feedback. https://katemuir.co.uk/IG: @menoscandalMarbella Retreat (March 13-16th): https://thirtyeightdegreesnorth.com/midlife-reset-marbella/ Please remember, if you find the show helpful or it makes you laugh, motivates and inspires you - please do like, share and rate us.

Today I'm delighted to welcome back one of The Shift's very first guests, journalist and mental health campaigner Bryony Gordon. Bryony has been a columnist on the Telegraph for over 20 years and for ten of those she has been writing candidly about her own experiences of addiction and mental illness. She is the best selling author of Mad Girl and The Wrong Knickers and in 2016 she founded Mental Health Mates a global peer support network that encourages people with mental health issues to connect, for which she has won several awards. She also, FWIW, ran the London marathon in her knickers.  Three years after her first visit to The Shift, Bryony is back - older, wiser (yes really) - and with a new book, the pertinently titled, Mad Woman, which discusses her struggles with burnout, binge eating and, yep, you guessed it, fluctuating hormones. Bryony joined me from bed in south London to talk about maintaining a public facade when you're privately falling apart, finally learning to feed herself properly at 43, discovering all the women in her family went into menopause in their early 40s, why she's done with feeling like she's the problem and how Davina McCall saved her life!

Despite the fact that 51% of the population will experience menopause, and the estimated 13 million people who are currently peri or menopausal in the UK, the topic of menopause has remained taboo. In 2022 I was delighted to speak to two advocates driving change in the national conversation around menopause on their experience of this transition, and what needs to change to ensure more women have access to the support they need – including those in the justice system. I spoke with Davina McCall, renowned TV presenter and household name who has presented documentaries about the menopause and is author of Menopausing, The Positive Roadmap to Your Second Spring which seeks to debunk myths, and break the shameful silence over the menopause. I was also joined by Carolyn Harris, MP for Swansea East who established the all-party parliamentary group (APPG) on menopause and has played a pivotal role in putting menopause on the national agenda.

Does Joel Dommett have beef with Alan Titchmarsh? And how did Davina McCall make Joel cry? The answers are all in this week's Wonderbox! Joel and Russell sit down across a rather fetching table to talk about the things that makes Joel such a happy chap.  It's a lot of fun and covers everything from pig orgasms to bogling. Have a listen. A really splendid way to spend your next fifty-odd minutes. Then come back and read the next bit.  Hello again! I told you it was fun. You will now be thinking 'but can I listen to even more Joel?' and yes you can. Turn on your telly in the daytime and he'll be there. Also, he and his wife Hannah have a podcast called 'Never Have I Ever' where they get people to write in with ideas of new experiences, then they do them. Sounds bloody dangerous to me. But it's a lot of fun and you can find it in those places where the podcasts dwell.  Russell's off on tour again, this time to Canada and Scandinavia so if you are one of those hairy types who live in those places, check out www.russellhoward.co.uk for all the details.  That'll do pig.      Producer: Dan Atkinson Line Producer: Daisy Knight Exec Producer: James Taylor Composer: Fat Lady Music
