Hebrews 13: 8 NIV "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever" Today Anne reminds us of the importance of Hebrews 13: 8 and encourages us to reflect on God's promises for our lives.
The presenter, journalist and “Queen of Mean”, Anne Robinson, is best known for her acerbic style of presenting on 'The Weakest Link'. In the 1960s she was the first young female trainee on the Daily Mail, worked at the Sunday Times and the Daily Mirror, and went on to host programmes from Points of View to Watchdog. Today Anne takes up the Countdown reins as the first female host of Channel 4's longest running series. She will join numbers whizz, Rachel Riley and wordsmith, Susie Dent, to make a formidable female trio. She joins Chloe Tilley. Last week the government voted down proposals to make it illegal to film or photograph someone breastfeeding without their consent. MP's like Stella Creasy, who has experienced this herself when teenage boys took photos of her as she breast fed her baby while on a train, and the MP Jeff Smith, wanted to make an amendment to the Voyeurism Act of 2019 - more commonly known as the Up-skirting Act - which focused on making it illegal to take photos and films of the lower part of the body or ‘up a skirt'. This recent proposal is for a simple amendment to be made to the 2019 Act to include the upper body and so protect breastfeeding mums. In April this year Julia Cooper found a man taking photos of her as she breast fed her baby in the park. When Gwen Strauss' aunt Hélène was in her 80's she nonchalantly mentioned at lunch that she had led a band of women in an escape from a Nazi death march, in the dying days of the war in Europe in 1945. The women were all members of the French Resistance, although two were Dutch and one Spanish. Gwen embarked on a search for these women, scouring France and Germany to track down their records, their families and their memories. Gwen – an award-winning children's book author - has now painstakingly reconstructed what happened in her new book 'The Nine'. The reality TV dating show Love Island is back on our screens. The show is undeniably popular and creates many water cooler moments, but what can it actually tell us about modern love and dating? We speak to journalist, podcaster, and author of new book 'Millennial Love', Olivia Petter and Nichi Hodgson, author of 'The Curious History of Dating', about how important the series might be in helping millennials and Gen Z find true love after lockdown.

Our lives are like a tapestry, a work of art crafted beautifully by God. God weaves together the threads of life to create an amazing tapestry that one day we will be able to see. We may be experiencing the ugly side of our tapestry, the knots and dark threads but we can remind ourselves of who our God is, what He is like and how much he understands our pain. We have a God we can trust, a weaver who can give us hope in the darkest of times. Today Anne shares an analogy of life inspired by Corrie Ten Boom and reminds us that we might only see the reverse side of our tapestry but we can trust and know that God is forming a beautiful piece that gives glory to Him and shows good to others.
Today Anne's guest is an Alabama teacher whose love of reading has touched every aspect of his life—from where he met his wife to the theme of his classroom today. Derek is a MATH teacher but he puts his reading right there on the wall for his students to see and he loves talking books with fellow teachers. You're going to love this conversation about his early library adventures, the books he’s passing down to his son, and the gorgeous engagement photos he and his wife took in the library where they met. Derek knows his go-to AND the font that tells him this book is right for him–but he’s challenging himself to try and push some boundaries and not be quite so carefully curated. Anne's challenge is to recommend three books that are right for where he is in his reading life right now. Visit the show page for a list of all of the books discussed and to leave your own recommendations for Derek.Thanks to today's sponsors:Take the night off and let Sun Basket’s Michelin and James Beard award winning chefs cook for you.

It’s like, what do you need to let go of in order for your real self, that self that you see inside of you, to emerge”“It’s a way of disservice if you don't hand people also the tools… A core element of Soul Candy has to be providing people with insights, tools and practices so they can adopt whatever is they need to”“So often we are being driven by our thoughts and our feelings and we are being reactive and it takes a while to sift through”“I think purpose is something that evolves over time and it also itirates”“We grow up and we ask children these ridiculous questions: what do you want to be when you grow up? How is a kid going to know that… Better to say what do you enjoy doing? What problem do you want to solve? Or what do you like to do? What draws you towards it?”“When we're not struggling is almost when we've gotten a little dead or we're too far in our comfort zone”“Moving bands go both ways… You can try things, maybe they will work out or maybe they won't, but just try” Guest Links:Anne Alexander Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/SoulCandyFounder/Follow Anne Alexander on Instagram: @soulcandyfounderSoul Candy Website: https://www.soulcandy.comAnne Alexander’s Articles on Mindful Magazine: https://www.mindful.org/author/annealexander/Allison Hare's Links:Culture Changers | Allison Hare Website: https://allisonhare.comInstagram: https://instagram.com/allison__hareStart, Launch, and Grow Your Podcast With Me: https://allisonhare.com/podcastsJoin the Sticky Notes Blog: https://allisonhare.com/blogDownload Your Free Equipment and Software Guide: https://allisonhare.com/equipmentText Allison: 470-242-6311QZ60UtlqQPgpvixa6jXg

#026 – Infertility, Invisibility with Anne Do you want to be a mother? When was the first time you were asked this question? For Anne, it was at the age of six. And so much of a woman’s identity is tied up in her answer to this question. Anne wasn’t sure how to answer the motherhood question until she met her husband, and then the answer became a resounding yes. She wanted to have a family with this man. So they started trying a year and a half ago… But after seeing the doctor for preliminary tests, Anne learned that she wasn’t ovulating. She was diagnosed with unexplained infertility. Now she finds herself stuck between hope and full mourning, carrying the invisible emotional weight that comes with not knowing what the future holds. Today Anne bravely shares her fertility journey, explaining the difficult conversations surrounding her diagnosis and how the experience has impacted her business. I ask her what she wishes she had known as a young woman and how she approaches the uncertainty. Listen in for Anne’s insight around initiating conversations about infertility, taking charge of your physical and financial health, and the mental discipline it requires to keep hoping for the best.
