This week on Playing the Field, Ryan, Jen, and Gina talk all about the drama at "The Women Tell All" on the "Golden Bachelor."Gina Sirico was in attendance at the taping and was able to talk to some of our favorites like Cheryl, Debbie, and Nicolle.Nicolle definitely faced some backlash for her comments not only about the women on this season but the last as well. The criticism came from a golden Bachelor Nation favorite and the team felt it was well deserved. Some heavy hitters like Cheryl and Debbie are out of the running for Mel's heart, but could either make a good "Golden Bachelorette?" The team shares their thoughts.Plus, a look ahead at the big fantasy suite dates and finale episodes. What will Mel's family think of his final two, Peg and Cindy? Learn more about your ad choices.

Ro is a mother, educator, and survivor whose world was shattered by not one, but two terrifying stalking ordeals. First, a stranger from her son's football club began sending threats — and eventually tried to run her child down with a car. Then came a neighbor, leaving sinister notes, watching her daughters, and trespassing onto her property. When the system failed to protect her, Ro was left to do it herself — fighting to keep her family safe and pushing for real change in Australia's stalking laws. HAVE YOU EXPERIENCED STALKING?

The number of people falling victim to online fraud, and in some cases losing their life savings as a result of being scammed, is skyrocketing. Banks have warned of a sharp increase in phone calls and text messages from criminals purporting to be delivery companies or Government agencies. However, in some of the most disturbing cases, victims are targeted with the promise of love and romance.Romance scams are not new – lonely people have always been targeted by criminals. But with the omnipresence of social media in people's daily lives, and the rapid development of AI, criminal gangs are using more sophisticated methods than ever before to exploit the human need for connection, trust and affection.The sheer extent and impact of these scams remains unknown because many people are too embarrassed to report the relationship, or their lost funds, to the authorities. They are often also left heartbroken after truly believing they had found their soul mate.One Irish woman in her 60s, who recently lost more than €291,000 through a sinister romance scam to a man who claimed to love and want to marry her, shared her experience with The Irish Times this week.On today's In The News episode Conor Pope, Irish Times consumer affairs correspondent, shares the story of Mary* who has been left with huge debts, and potentially serious legal implications, after being financially exploited, and emotionally manipulated, by a man who called himself Donald.What are the red flags people should watch out for if they begin a relationship online?And can further steps be taken by authorities to track down the criminal gangs behind this financial fraud?Today, the story of one woman who lost everything through an elaborate romance scam.Presented by Sorcha Pollak.

Send us a textMy guest on this week's episode is the absolutely fabulous Marianne Power.Marianne was on the podcast back in the summer of 2024, so I encourage you to go and listen to those episodes if you haven't already (I split them into 2 because we talked for so long!), and if you don't know who she is, then you need to. She is the author of the phenomenal book 'Love Me! One Woman's Search For A Different Kind Of Happy Ever After', which I urge you to read if you haven't already. She's also the author of 'Help Me!', as well as being a journalist. This conversation came off the back of a phone call that Marianne and I had several weeks ago where we talked about everything from how vulnerable it feels to put a book out into the world, to our very different experiences of sex in the past and in the present, to the wonderful things about being single and not having kids; and at the end of that chat we decided she needed to come back on the podcast to try out best to recreate our conversation for you! You're definitely going to want to listen the whole way through — trust me. We cover all manner of things from the vulnerability of writing personal stories, to the importance of connection, and the challenges and joys of navigating singlehood. This engaging conversation touches upon key themes like societal expectations, the need for self-validation, and the broader spectrum of relationships that can fill our lives with meaning and joy.04:50 Marianne's Journey and Book Insights10:36 Societal Expectations and Personal Validation28:14 The Importance of Connection36:22 Exploring Conscious Sexuality43:47 Finding Joy in Being Single43:56 The Importance of Touch and Connection44:47 Breaking Relationship Norms45:47 Discussing Our Books and Public Perception46:44 Marianne's Mortifying Festival Talk (that turned to be a roaring success)48:58 Overcoming Shame and Embracing Honesty53:23 Audience Reactions and Validation57:54 The Struggle of Public Vulnerability01:12:01 The Importance of Self-Validation01:13:50 Wrapping Up and Future PlansBuy Marianne's book, Love Me!: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Love-Me-womans-search-happy/dp/1529057884Sign up to Marianne's Substack: https://helpmenewsletter.substack.com/Follow Marianne on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/marianne_power_writer/?hl=enSupport the showOrder my book, SHINY HAPPY SINGLES (UK) / THRIVE SOLO (US & Canada) at: https://www.lucymeggeson.com/book Download my FREE PDF 'The Top 10 Answers To The Most Irritating Questions That Single People Get Asked On The Regular...& How To (Devilishly) Respond'?

“The row of seats that face the registration desk in the hospital I attended for miscarriage surgery contained me and two heavily pregnant women checking in to give birth. Having had this experience, I feel I can say with confidence that there's a good reason you wouldn't have a wedding planner and an undertaker share a reception.” So wrote Clare Moriarty, Post-Doctoral Researcher at Trinity College Dublin who told her story to Shane this morning.

Jane Goodall transformed the way we understand animals, conservation, and our place in nature. In this special tribute episode of How to Protect the Ocean, I reflect on Dr. Goodall's incredible legacy and what her life's work teaches us about empathy, science, and hope. From living with chimpanzees in Gombe to influencing ocean storytelling today, her impact spans generations and ecosystems. Jane showed us that animals are not resources, but individuals with emotions, intelligence, and culture. She taught us to listen, to observe, and to act. Jane Goodall's work didn't end with primates. Her vision of conservation included youth, community, and global collaboration. She helped shape marine and terrestrial protection efforts, inspired countless scientists (especially women), and changed how we use emotional connection to inspire action. Even at 91, she was on a speaking tour, still using her voice to make the world better. This episode unpacks what she gave us and how we carry that legacy forward especially in ocean conservation.

LIBERTY Sessions with Nada Jones | Celebrating women who do & inspiring women who can |
Kat Hantas is the co-founder of 21SEEDS Tequila, one of the fastest-growing flavored tequilas. She created 21SEEDS because it's what she wanted to drink – something smooth, simple, and casual with a fresh, natural flavor that made drinking infused tequila as approachable as a glass of wine. Before it was a brand, it was just a couple of bottles infused in her kitchen with things she had on hand. What began as one bottle turned into dozens… and eventually, a new beginning. She called her sister Nicole and our friend Sarika, and they started talking about the possibilities. They found a female-led distillery– a perfect fit. They worked on different infusions and got each recipe just right. They came up with a name. Two sisters and one friend: 21SEEDS was born. In today's episode, Nada talks with Kat about her journey as a co-founder in the spirits industry. After a conversation with her doctor, Kat set out to create a cleaner drink to replace her nightly glass of wine and then began making cocktails for her older friends and family who were experiencing similar side effects from drinking. Despite 21SEEDS quick success, Kat experienced several failed endeavors. She and Nada reflect on what success means, the importance of trying new things, and that age is an asset, not a liability. To find out more about 21SEEDS, check out their website. Follow on Instagram: @kathantas and @21seeds. Please follow us at @thisislibertyroad on Instagram; we want to share and connect with you and hear your thoughts and comments. Please rate and review this podcast. It helps to know if these conversations inspire and equip you to consider your possibilities and lean into your future with intention.

Author Anne Abel lived with severe depression since her teens – when, at age 60, a Bruce Springsteen concert had an effect that extensive therapies had failed to accomplish.

Send us a textWhat if the secret to women's health lies not in treating symptoms, but in understanding the unique patterns beneath them? Andrea Corleto discovered this truth the hard way, navigating her own chronic illness journey through a healthcare system that often left her questions unanswered. That frustrating experience sparked the creation of Lyv Health – a personalized longevity platform designed specifically for women.The shocking reality is that women spend 25% more time in poor health than men. While men maintain relatively stable hormonal states throughout their lives, women experience dramatic shifts during various life stages – from postpartum recovery to perimenopause and beyond. These transitions often bring symptoms like fatigue, brain fog, mood swings, and night sweats that traditional healthcare approaches may dismiss or inadequately address.Lyv Health takes a fundamentally different approach by combining comprehensive biomarker testing with AI-powered analysis and human clinical support. By examining approximately 70 different biomarkers, the platform identifies the underlying causes of symptoms, including hormonal imbalances, nutrient deficiencies, and metabolic issues. This data-driven approach doesn't just address immediate health concerns; it also reveals early warning signs for conditions like cardiovascular disease, the leading killer of women.What makes this approach truly revolutionary is its ability to balance cutting-edge technology with essential human connection. While artificial intelligence processes vast amounts of health data in minutes (tasks that would take human clinicians weeks), real healthcare professionals review all insights and provide personalized support. This combination creates a healthcare experience that addresses both scientific and emotional needs – something Andrea wished existed during her own health struggles.Whether you prefer natural approaches through nutrition and supplements or need medication-based interventions, Lyv Health offers personalized recommendations that fit your lifestyle and preferences. Ready to understand what's really happening beneath your symptoms? Visit lyvhealth.co to learn how data-driven insights could transform your health journey.Thanks for tuning in to this episode of Follow The Brand!

This conversation highlights the nuance of recovery, the complexities of body change, and the importance of choosing curiosity over judgment. CONTENT CAUTION This episode discusses eating disorders, fat stigma, and experiences with GLP-1 medications. Please take care while listening. WHAT WE COVER How atypical anorexia is often overlooked in larger bodies Why Ozempic can suppress hunger cues and mimic anorexia symptoms Building structured meals and snacks when appetite cues are muted Holding nuance in fat liberation while navigating diabetes care Practicing curiosity instead of judgment when bodies change Fat accessibility in professional settings and advocating for support The creation of Nozempic Mondays as a community resource on Substack KEY TAKEAWAYS Eating disorder recovery requires intentional nourishment, regardless of body size. GLP-1 medications are not a “miracle cure” and can complicate eating disorder treatment. Choosing curiosity over judgment creates space for healing and body acceptance. Accessibility and advocacy matter in workplaces and communities. GUEST Amanda Martinez Beck is a fat author, disability advocate, and fat liberationist whose work centers on embodiment, faith, and justice. She writes The Fat Dispatch on Substack and is the author of Lovely: How I Learned to Embrace the Body God Gave Me and More of You: The Fat Girl's Field Guide to the Modern World.

Dr. Colwell shares her insight on the progression of women in science through the years. Framed by her own experiences we learn about her incredible work.
Jenn is a long-distance walker, community leader, and passionate advocate for women's wellbeing in the outdoors — especially during menopause. From battling endometriosis, PCOS, and the trauma of an early medical menopause in her 20s, she was once told she couldn't live the active, adventurous life she craved. She's spent the last few years since proving otherwise — one footstep at a time. What began as a personal outlet for healing has evolved into something much bigger: being able to connect women to their strength through hiking, movement, and community. Whether she's leading local walks, multi-day hikes, backpacking or pushing her own limits, she walks with the intention that creating space for people to feel heard, safe and be around nature is of the upmost importance. A qualified lowland leader, speaker, and founder of a thriving women's walking community in Kent, she brings insight, humour, and unflinching honesty to conversations about menopause, mental health, leadership, and what it means to feel powerful in your body again — especially when the world told you not to try. Through her trail stories — from ultra hikes to quiet woodland days — she shows that adventure isn't about speed or summits. It's simply about showing up.
Key Points Zoe was diagnosed with endometriosis at age 17 after experiencing symptoms for four years, which was considered fortunate since the average diagnosis period for women is typically eight years.Medical professionals initially dismissed her severe pain as heavy periods, with male gynecologists showing less empathy than female healthcare workers, and doctors wanting to induce early menopause through injections rather than natural surgical menopause.Treatment protocol included multiple contraceptive methods like implants, injections, coils, and hormone replacement tablets that caused negative mental side effects, followed by laparoscopic surgery for definitive diagnosis.Psychological impact was severely negative, especially during her formative years, leading to lifestyle changes and the realization that lifestyle factors can minimize endometriosis pain and symptoms.Heavy pharmaceutical dependency developed with doctors prescribing tramadol eight times daily for two years, morphine, and gabapentin, creating withdrawal issues that required gradual tapering under medical supervision.Six operations were performed over the years, with endometriosis affecting her bowel, uterus, and tubes, including the controversial removal of her left ovary despite right-side pain and ongoing right-side cysts.Decision to pursue holistic alternatives occurred around COVID-19 after her husband advocated for proper hospital treatment, leading to research into detoxing and healthy lifestyle implementation.Medical cannabis journey began with recreational use that showed benefits, progressing to obtaining a UK can card for legal protection, then transitioning to a proper medical cannabis clinic three years ago.Cannabis treatment includes THC and CBD capsules for bowel-related symptoms, THC drops taken sublingually, and flower consumed through a Mighty Medic vaporizer, with monthly prescriptions and quarterly reviews.Remarkable recovery occurred post-surgery with no nausea or sickness, appetite restoration, and four kilograms weight gain after losing eight kilograms over three months of severe illness.Family support system including her husband with PTSD, two children aged 11 and 12, and her father who raised her from age five provides the primary motivation for maintaining health and recovery.Victoria, a woman who achieved 11 years of pain-free living through magnesium, supplements, yoga, and lifestyle changes, inspired Zoe's holistic approach combined with positive mindset training.Encouragement for newly diagnosed women emphasizes personal strength, connecting with online endometriosis communities, open family communication, independent research beyond doctor recommendations, and daily gratitude practices.

Donna Adelson spent years controlling every aspect of her family's life, but in the end, she became the very person who destroyed them.

My guest today on the Online for Authors podcast is Roseanne D'Ausilio, author of the book Pain, Pumpernickel, and Profound Forgiveness. Roseanne D'Ausilio, Ph.D., is an industrial psychologist, consultant, best-selling author, executive coach, customer service expert, and President of Human Technologies Global. Known as ‘the practical champion of the human,' in a high-tech world, she authors 15 mostly non-fiction books. Her first book was Wake Up Your Call Center: Humanize Your Interaction Hub now in its 4th edition. Pain, Pumpernickel, & Profound Forgiveness: A Daughter's Story of her Punishing & Loving Relationship with her Father is Rosanne's first memoir--A very different genre. Rosanne splits her time between Northern Virginia and the Caribbean and can be found doing Zumba nearly every day. It's her body/mind/spirit dance. In my book review, I stated Pain, Pumpernickel, & Profound Forgiveness is a beautiful memoir. Through the use of short essays, Rosanne helps us understand her relationship with her father - and her mother - the good and the not-so-good. As I read, I often felt that Rosanne learned the lessons of the book - love doesn't always look like we think it will, we can change how we see things, compassion is possible even when hurting, and you can be at peace with your past - as she wrote down her memories. Her surprise at what she found was evident! Rosanne's tales are full of what she calls Divine Interventions - times where logic doesn't adequately explain the outcomes and miracles abound. And through these Divine Interventions, Rosanne learns so much about her father, herself, and their often-troubled relationship. As someone who has struggled with familial relationships, I enjoyed watching the author discover that there is more than one way to see the past - and how you think about the past is entirely up to you! This is a quick, easy read that will leave you thinking deeply.

She drained her retirement savings to pay $30,000 for a new knee at a private Toronto clinic.

Joining us for this episode of Diverse Thinking Different Learning is Barbara Arrowsmith-Young! Barbara is a pioneering author and innovator in neuroeducation, known for applying neuroplasticity to improve cognitive function. Since 1978, her work has helped individuals with learning difficulties, brain injuries, addiction, and age-related decline, and it is now used worldwide. She shares her groundbreaking journey in her bestselling book The Woman Who Changed Her Brain and her TEDx talk, and continues advancing research as Director of the Arrowsmith program. In this episode of Diverse Thinking Different Learning, Barbara shares her deeply powerful journey of overcoming significant learning difficulties she faced from a young age. Growing up in the 1950s, Barbara was labeled as "slow" and was told by her teachers not to have high expectations for her academic future, but despite the challenges, her mother's determination and Barbara's resilience allowed her to learn how to read, write, and do basic math, although she continued to struggle with comprehension and processing language. As an adult, Barbara had an epiphany after reading the work of neuropsychologist Alexander Luria. She discovered that the root of her learning difficulties was due to specific areas of her brain that were underperforming, so inspired by research on neuroplasticity, she set out to create cognitive exercises that could strengthen those weaker brain regions. She reflects in this episode on how, to her amazement, the exercises led to a huge change in her cognitive abilities, allowing her to fully engage in conversations, understand complex concepts, and more. Barbara discusses how she was determined to share this life-changing approach, founded the Arrowsmith School, and developed the Arrowsmith Program, which has now helped thousands of students around the world. She passionately advocates for integrating neuroscience and cognitive training into education, empowering all learners to enhance their brain's capacity and unlock their full potential. If you enjoy this episode, you will have the wonderful opportunity to learn more about Barbara's work during a live webinar on September 17th, 2025. Don't miss this chance to dive deeper into the power of neuroplasticity and how it can transform the lives of students who struggle with learning differences!
