For our second week of how women can change the world, we talk about kindness. We talk about the importance of caring for the people in our lives even if they are on the fringes of it. They could also be people we care a great deal about, but they live far away and we do not always know how to support them. Listen and help us try and change the world by adding a little bit more sunshine to the world. Subscribe to our email subscription here and get blog posts early, behind the scenes info, early merch drop information and so much more!Our sponsor Restore Your Core Physical Therapy is giving our listeners a special offer.

In this episode, Laura chats to Melissa Bruntlett about her new book, Women Changing Cities: Global Stories of Urban Transformation.Melissa is an urbanist, author, and founder of Modacity, an urban mobility consultancy - and one half of urbanist power couple, Chris and Melissa Bruntlett. Melissa and Chris have authored two books to date, Building the Cycling City, and Curbing Traffic. Their social media posts from around the world feature positive examples of change, and inspiration for other cities and advocates. Originally from Canada, the couple have settled in the Netherlands, and often share experiential learning from one of the world's greatest cycling nations. The book's narrative begins with pandemic street changes, and asks what was going on, beyond the public health emergency, that allowed the urban landscape to change? Why can cities do things differently at certain points in time, and how are women a part of that. The Bruntletts argue it's about listening and being humble, and taking that listening and humility with you into streetspace solutions. There are stories from leadership in Paris, Barcelona, Montreal and Bogota. There is also a grassroots angle, looking at a groundswell from young people in Manila, that spurred bike lanes in the city.The book: Women Changing Cities: Global Stories of Urban Transformation, by Melissa and Chris Bruntlett, is out in October 2025: https://www.ribabooks.com/Women-Changing-Cities-Global-stories-of-urban-transformation_9781915722409Melissa's project, Modacity Creative: https://modacitycreative.com/Melissa and Chris' work: https://www.modacitylife.com/For ad-free listening, behind-the-scenes and bonus content and to help support the podcast - head to (https://www.patreon.com/StreetsAheadPodcast).

Cowgirls love the rodeo just as much as cowboys, but for the better part of the past century, there's only been one event for women – until now. Breakaway roping, dubbed the fastest event in rodeo, has swept competitions across North America, and is corralling more space for cowgirls in the process.The Globe's Jana Pruden was at the 50th Canadian Finals Rodeo this fall, where the second-ever women's event was showcased at the country's biggest rodeo for the first time. She speaks with Canadian breakaway ropers and gives us a sense of the history of women in rodeo, and just how hard they've worked to rope and ride alongside the cowboys.This episode originally aired January 14, 2025.Questions?
