"The doctor said: 'You need to put your phone down because we have to get this drip into your arm, otherwise you're going to die.' And that was my introduction to type 1 diabetes."Today's guest is Harriet Minter - published author, journalist, coach and gender equality specialist.Harriet has worked and written for among others, The Guardian, The Times and the Telegraph. She's a columnist for Psychologies magazine, and created the wildly successful Badass Women's Hour podcast and live radio show, which she was very much in the throes of when she received that terrfying type 1 diabetes diagnosis on World Diabetes Day 2020, at the age of 38.That horrifying diagnosis was in the midst of the pandemic, and it has since altered Harriet's relationships with her work, her loved ones, and ultimately herself.Wise, sharp and insightful, this is an incredibly thought-provoking chat, covering the vulnerability that diabetes forces you to face, the conflict of becoming both more independent and more willing to ask for help, accepting her body's limits, stigma around body size and diabetes, diabetes in the workplace and my favourite new phrase - SOFT POWER. Oh, and don't speak to Harriet about glucose monitoring as a health trend...This was such a treat to record, I hope you enjoy it!

Harriet Minter würde nie wieder (naja, nur unter ganz besonders flexiblen Umständen) wieder in einem Büro arbeiten. Präsenzpflicht ist ein Ding der Vergangenheit und dank Corona, so die britische Journalistin, haben es endlich auch die Arbeitgeber erkannt: „Working From Home“ ist eine Frage des Lifestyles, nicht der Ambitionen. Leider berichten in Deutschland immer noch 70% der Arbeitnehmer, dass ihre Vorgesetzten ihnen kein Homeoffice gewähren. Damit liegen wir Deutschen ganz hinten in der Statistik. Im Vereinigten Königreich läuft das etwas dynamischer: dort sind die Zahlen von 6 auf 44 Prozent gestiegen, im EU schnitt von 4 auf 88 Prozent. Die britische Journalistin mit Schwerpunkt Frauen und Karriere hat mit uns über ihr die großen Vorzüge des Homeoffices gesprochen. Über die Mythen, die der Arbeit von Zuhause einen schlechten Ruf bescheren und vor allem über die Frage: Wie treibe ich meine Arbeit und Karriere von zuhause weiter an? Warum sie das alles weiß? Weil sie selbst seit Jahren erfolgreich von zu Hause arbeitet. So erfolgreich, dass sie jetzt ein Buch darüber verfasst hat, das wir uneingeschränkt empfehlen. Bis dato gibt es WFH Working from home – How to build a career you love when you are not at the office (Quercus, UK) nur auf Englisch. So wie auch unser Gespräch mit Harriet. Wir besprechen u.a. · was gutes Arbeiten von zu Hause ausmacht. · wie man gängige Mythen entlarvt, wie „Homeoffice ist was für Leute ohne Ambitionen“ · dass Homeoffice und Kinderbetreuung zwei Jobs sind und nicht etwa eine praktische „Zwei Fliegen, eine Klappe“-Lösung · welche Grenzen man abstecken und einhalten muss, um effizient zu sein. · warum ein Nickerchen mittags oder eine Kaffee-Date am Nachmittag keineswegs bedeuten, dass man faul ist. Und vor allem haben wir eins gelernt: Homeoffice in Zeiten einer Pandemie ist keinesfalls vergleichbar mit Homeoffice unter „normalen“ Umständen. Also – schnuppert mal rein: In unseren Podcast und in das Buch!

Due to the passing of HRH Prince Phillip, Harriet reflects on the notion of grief with Cariad Lloyd.Cariad is the creator and host of Griefcast, a podcast where she tries to break down our fear of talking about death, and even if we’re allowed to laugh about it. Cariad saw the interest in Greifcast rise and it has continued to do so since she had this chat with Harriet back in 2019. Also in this episode, how do we set those boundaries between work and home life? Especially when the line is so blurry right now. Then Harriet responds to a listener who got a new puppy at the start of lockdown, but fears that they might have made a mistake now that life is slowly getting back to normal.Presenter: Harriet Minter - @HarrietMinterGuest: Cariad Lloyd - @ladycariad To have Harriet help with your listener dilemma, e-mail harriet.minter@gmail.com Griefcast by Cariad LloydWFH (Working From Home), by Harriet Minter See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Turns out, there are unique challenges women who work from home face, as we head firmly into a working from home revolution. Today on ARRIVED., I chat to female leadership journalist and author, Harriet Minter, about – why the language of contemporary women's magazines still assumes outdated tropes of women's work lives – even in 2021 – how Harriet came to launch the Women in Leadership section in the Guardian newspaper – how the post-pandemic hybrid work from office / work from home model could actually edge women out of promotions and career advancement – how to rethink your productivity (and that afternoon nap!) when working from home – why regularly working more than 40 hours/week can lead to disease – how to set better boundaries around your professional life so that working from home doesn't turn into 'living at work' Harriet's new book, WFH: How to Build a Career you Love Outside the Office is available now at all fine booksellers.

When you say “20 years ago”, it sounds more like the 1980s than 2001, right? Well, things were very different then and this week Harriet dives into author Elisabeth Spencer’s experience of raising and supporting her trans daughter; the challenges, the emotions and the lessons, all of which are extended upon in her new book. Harriet also discusses how commonplace sexual harassment is in the school system, and tackles a listener question who is struggling to choose between leaving their secure but mundane job or spreading their wings to explore their passions.
