POPULARITY
Being head of operations for a company that looked after databases taught Sally many many things, including the importance of people. When Sally set up her own business, Partners With You, it certainly wasn't the business it is today. After being asked by a client to help her team become less 'two dimensional', Sally took her business in a very different direction. The training side was born and the term 'squeeze your lemon and pull your bolero' became integral to the workshops that are now delivered.
Book Vs Movie: “Cabaret” The Backstory Behind One of the Most Popular Musicals of All Time “Musicals in March” The Margos are adhering to the motto “life is a cabaret!” this week with our deep dive into a musical that is based on a book about Berlin’s underground night scene in the 1930s by Christopher Isherwood (Goodbye to Berlin.) From there it became a Broadway play by John van Druten--I Am a Camera in the early 1950s with a movie starring Julie Harris that gives new meaning to the word dull! In the mid-1960s Broadway legends, John Kander and Fred Ebb (Chicago) created the book and music for Cabaret with a book by Joe Masteroff which was set in 1929-1930 Berlin when the Nazis were gaining power and the bon vivant lifestyle was being ostracized. (And Jewish people were basically deemed “illegal” and lost their right to own property or their own businesses.) Sally Bowles is one of the theater’s most interesting creations. Based on a friend of Isherwood’s, Jean Ross, Sally is a terrible singer who somehow makes a living at the “Kit Kat Club” in Berlin. Perpetually broke, she lives with American writer Cliff Bradshaw. They have something of a romance (in between them both having affairs with men.) When Sally becomes pregnant and Hitler is rising in power--she realizes that the party is over and she needs to flee. Throughout the musical, there are several memorable tunes and (depending on the choreographer) sexy “jazz babies” who backup Sally on stage. The Harold Prince-directed show premiered in November 1966 and swept the Tonys the following year. There have been several revivals on Broadway and on the London stage throughout the years with an array of Sally’s including Judi Dench, Michelle Williams, Jane Horrocks, Natasha Richardson, and Emma Stone. The part of the emcee was originally played by Joel Grey as an asexual character with rouged cheeks. Later, Alan Cumming would create a highly sexual version in a production directed by Sam Mendes and still plays the character to this day! In this episode, we will focus on the 1972 film directed by Bob Fosse (with uncredited assistance by Gwen Verdon) and stars Liza Minelli. It is the basis for all of the sexier versions that have been produced since. It would go on to win several Academy Awards including Best Director and Actress. So between the original book/play and the film--which did we prefer? Have a listen and find out!

Dreams can come true in the strangest ways . . . even for a rabbit. When Sally the rabbit first goes to live with a family, she runs free inside the house and is fed and petted by the little girl with pigtails, who also sings to her. Sally’s happiness ends when she is banished to a wire cage in the backyard by the father who declares: “Rabbits are dangerous." Though still fed by the little girl, Sally is never held or petted. Her life gets worse as rain and cold ruin her food and muddy her water. Her beautiful coat becomes dirty and her tail almost falls off. Brokenhearted, Sally despairs as winter comes. She digs a cave in the snow and hides there shivering, trying to get warm until she falls into a deep sleep. Sally wakes to the little girl’s petting, handfuls of fresh food, and a bright spring day. The girl tells Sally about a marvelous place called Daffodil Hill and together they set off. Nose twitching at the fresh smells, Sally is ecstatic to be out of the cage and back in glorious nature. The girl tells her more about Daffodil Hill, and Sally wishes they could both live there. Yellow sunshine, green grass, butterflies, honeybees, deer, plump carrots, sweet-tasting tulips, a rippling stream—Daffodil Hill is everything the little girl with pigtails promised. Her eyes sparkling with tears of joy, Sally runs through the emerald field, feeling freer than she ever has been in her entire life. The little girl weaves daffodils into her pigtails. After a while turns into a longer while, the girl stays at Daffodil Hill with Sally the rabbit. Of course, someone needs to help the farmer at Daffodil Hill plant the flowers and vegetables, and the girl decides that it would have to be her, because the Hill can never change. As long as the little girl lives, she needs the comfort of the hillside as much as Sally the rabbit.
When Sally lost her brother to suicide, a friend advised her to be open to the possibility that he would try to visit her from beyond. Despite her initial skepticism, what she experienced in the ensuing months changed her mind completely.

Sally Robinson and her husband ran their farm in Yorkshire, along with a small bed and breakfast business that Sally looked after. When Sally heard about the Internet in 1999, she realised it could provide an opportunity to further diversify the farming business. She converted a couple of the outhouses into offices and Amplebosom.com was born - providing lingerie for "the larger lady", as Sally puts it. Twenty years on, Amplebosom is still going strong, whilst conforming to none of the dot com stereotypes. It's been profitable from the start, has never borrowed large amounts of money - and Sally has not made millions from the business either. Presenter Charles Miller featured Sally in a documentary for the BBC twenty years ago. In this podcast he catches up with Sally and the Amplebosom story.

Sally works at a clinic that provides in-clinic abortion services. On the days when she is handling administrative duties, Sally will usually be signing prescriptions, checking over charts and making sure patients are being seen in the appropriate way and getting to the right providers. She also provides on-call advice to patients who are post-abortion or maybe coming for their appointment soon. She answers all their concerns and explains what's normal and what's not.Time Stamped Notes[0:58] For abortions, Sally has seen people of all ages. Not very many of the patients will be under 16, but once in a while Sally will attend to patients under 16. Most patients will fall in the age bracket of 16 to 47 years. The patients will be from all backgrounds, religions and races. Sally notes that 59% of women who receive abortions already have children. She believes that mothers are more likely to seek an abortion just because they kind of understand the implications of what raising a child is for your community and for your family.[2:33] There's two types of procedures that Sally's clinic offers. Patients can have a medication abortion or a surgical abortion. For the medication, the patient will come in, they will be given a pill and then the next day in their home, they take four pills to help the pregnancy pass. Sally explains that every woman experiences it differently. Some women may experience the worst pain of their lives while some may experience no pain at all, but usually the pain level is somewhere in the middle of these two extremes. The pain usually depends on where the patient is at in their gestation cycle. However, it is very common to have like menstrual leg cramps which the clinic provides pain medication for.[3:11] Surgical abortion is much less scarier than the name implies. There's no cutting or scraping. It's really gentle dilation of the cervix and the removal of the pregnancy with a straw which is also known as a curette. Mothers are always more likely to opt for the surgical procedure just because they've had speculum exams before, they've delivered and they're a little bit used to that clinical environment.[4:28] Sally often tells her patients that it's normal to have every emotion. When Sally first became a fresh screen abortion nurse, she expected a lot more angst from the patients. However, what she witnessed was a lot of relief. Clearly the issue had been on their minds for a few weeks or several days before they went to the abortion clinic where their medical issue was solved. Whenever Sally is in the room with a patient waiting for the doctors to arrive, they're always asking a lot of questions. In truth, the anticipation is actually far worse than the procedure itself.[6:37] The law requires patients to wait 5 to 10 days after having their evaluation and blood tests. After the 10 day period, 90% of the women will still be sure that that is what they want to do. Sally believes that this is accurate for patients who arrive and don’t wait. 10% of them will probably go home and will not go through with it all the way because the clinic has excellent counsellors who will be able to spot when they aren’t ready to make this decision or don’t want. Sally, therefore believes that this statistic will not change whether they had to wait or not. Sally always tries to remind her patients that it's okay to feel sad and to feel angry and to feel just conflicted over the choice that they have made.[12:58] For people who have had abortions, grief comes from different places. One is from feeling sad that they found themselves in that position. Secondly, grief may come from the reality of what it means to be an adult in this world. Abortion is a big decision and this is just an indication of crossing over to adulthood. People who find themselves pregnant often grieve the end of their childhood.[15:37] Initially, Sally thought that the people who were having abortions were teenagers who found themselves in bad situations. However, sometimes people want to have abortions because they want to be in a place in their life where they feel they can raise a family and at the moment, having a child is not the best way to do it. This could be because they are not where they want to be in their career or they need some mental health services to get themselves sorted out or their relationship is pretty new and they want to give it time to breathe. Society nowadays has made many people feel like abortion is only appropriate when there are dire situations. However, women have abortions whether they're young or coming to the end of their reproductive years because they choose what's right for their community.[22:41] Sally believes that if society didn’t stigmatize abortions, there would be less abortions because women would have greater access to birth control because of so much stigma around birth control where some people are acting as though that is a form of abortion as well. Research has shown that one in four women have abortions. By not stigmatizing abortions, these women would be allowed to grieve more and be happy. They would get to go through abortion as a rite of passage.[26:06] Being able to experience a whole range of emotions, whether you're getting your first period, having an abortion, having a baby, it is spiritual practice, especially when you are joined with other people. Sally always feels this way when she's in a procedure room when a patient's having an abortion and they're being so supported. Their physician is there talking them through the whole thing and giving them whatever they need. Some patients don’t want to hear anything while others want to be given like a step by step guide. The doula is there holding the patient's hand and everyone is so loving and supportive.[27:13] Some facilities won't use the term doula and they call it, support person and this is really what a doula is. The doula must not necessarily be part of the medical staff and the doula is just be there to hold their hand. A doula is like water and they're there to morph into what the patient needs in that moment. So typically it's waiting with the patient as they're getting into their gown.[33:51] If you're a person who's just had an abortion and you're struggling with the feelings you're having afterwards, then just feel those emotions. That's okay. Be as permissive with yourself as possible. Allow yourself to be totally thrilled and happy and ready to just start your new life, but also to grieve what that other ship had for you and what this new ship you're on is like. Be so gentle and talk to someone. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
