Researchers at AUT spoke with 47 Lead Maternity Care midwives and their families about their wellbeing and family life.

Lead author of the study, James Greenslade-Yeats, a research fellow at AUT Business School spoke to Lisa Owen.
Send us Fan MailA well known brand drops into my inbox, praises my TikTok, then asks for a full video turnaround within hours and never once mentions payment. That one email opens a bigger conversation about workplace boundaries, self-worth, and why I refuse to build any part of my life on “maybe there'll be future work”. If you are a content creator, freelancer, or employee who is tired of being squeezed for more while being offered less, you will recognise the pattern instantly. We talk rates, budgets, scope, urgency fees, and why milestone payments matter when brands want to use your assets for months. Then we take it into the workplace, where negotiation is not just about money, it is about power. I share how I approach non-negotiables, from day rate to travel to office attendance, and why I would rather turn down a role than accept terms that guarantee disrespect later. We also sit with a line that hit hard: “The workplace loves Black women's resilience, just not our boundaries.” We unpack how resilience gets weaponised into over performance, emotional labour, and silence, and how to make resilience work for us instead of against us. From there, we zoom out to the UK mood after the local elections and the rise of Reform UK, looking at why people vote from pain when rent, bills, wages and NHS access feel broken. We touch on immigration rhetoric, the European Convention on Human Rights, indefinite leave to remain, and the danger of making rights conditional. Finally, we lighten the angle without losing the depth, using the AP x Swatch collaboration to explore luxury marketing psychology, aspiration culture, and why “access” sells even during a cost of living crisis.

Hilchos Rosh Chodesh - Taking Haircuts and Women Working
Historically, only two women have ever started a Grand Prix race, and as of the 2026 season, no women are competing in Formula One. This male dominancy is by no means restricted to the track, with social scientist Dr Kate Bancroft estimating that a mere 5% of technical motorsport roles (that is, the engineers and mechanics) are taken by women. We hear from Kate about her research into the F1 gender gap, which she hopes - alongside revealing some of the barriers and struggles faced by women - will start a wider conversation about the divide that exists in top-level motorsports.

For decades, the FBI was a man's world. Anybody else was just living in it, especially the administrative staff. In the last episode, we learned how the bureau recruited high school girls for clerical work during the 1940s. But for decades women were explicitly prohibited from becoming special agents. Western Springs resident Jane McCarty was hired out of high school in the late 1960s to work as a stenographer for the FBI. She held several positions during her more than four decades at the organization. Today, the former president of the Society of FBI Alumni talks about the ebbs and flows of women's access to leadership and autonomy within the bureau. She endured a sexist work environment but later witnessed the first women become FBI special agents.

There was such a feeling of fun and excitement when I chose my bold colored, striped spread for my twin dorm room bed, posters to hang on the wall and courses to take at Penn State. I don't recall anyone giving me mace or offering tips or advice on how to stay safe when walking alone or heading off to a frat party. Thankfully, I managed to make it through my years without being assaulted or harmed, even though I made some really dumb choices to walk alone intoxicated through dark alleyways and spend time alone with young men who were also intoxicated. Today young women face even more threats with their drinks being spiked . We are at least fortunate that more people are talking about assaults and educating on how to prevent it from happening to you.This week I'm featuring highlights from two amazing prior podcast conversations about the topic of safety for young women. If you'll humor my choppy editing work, it's worth a listen.I share snippets from a 2023 conversation with self-defense teacher Margaret Pizer from Tsunami Self Defense Systems to empower women physically and mentally. Check out Tsunami's upcoming classes and workshops on their Facebook page. I also share a snippet from my conversation with Shirah Benarde, creator of the Night Cap drink spiking prevention product. Shirah is working hard to educate universities and colleges, bars and clubs and legislators about the dangers and prevalence of drink spiking so that one day her product won't be needed. (Some progress to note: A new law in California requires bars to provide lids on all drinks.)On August 25, check out the release of the documentary "When Is It Enough?" free on YouTube. Shirah and her team worked on this doc about exposing the Realities of Drink Spiking and Systematic Neglect.Thank you to my new podcast sponsor Healthy Lifestyle Management with Lisa Rigau, registered nurse, plant predominant nutritionist and health and well being educator as a Lifestyle Medicine professional and diplomate of the American College of Lifestyle Medicine and a Certified Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction teacher from Brown University.

From today, Pasifika women are working for free. This is according to new data from the Council of Trade Unions which calculates the date each year, that women start working for free because of the gender pay gap. For all women compared to men - it's November 28, but for Pasifika women, compared to Pakeha men, it is today. Money correspondent Susan Edmunds spoke to Lisa Owen.
Hannah Brencher is on the other side of a fascinating experiment that helped her redefine what it means to be living in this time, this place, and what it really means to take good care of ourselves in this digital and depleting world. I'm coming out of a very intense work season, and I'm looking at the aftermath and wondering anew what it means to take good, deep care of ourselves and of each other in all seasons, not just the calm ones but the busy and sorrowful and mournful ones and happy and swamped seasons too. I'm curious about what I don't know, and after a year of 1,000 unplugged hours, Brencher has a lot to say about what we can gain by giving up the lesser things. Hannah Brencher is a writer, TED speaker, and entrepreneur. She founded The World Needs More Love Letters, a global community dedicated to sending letter bundles to those who need encouragement.

In today's episode, I am so excited to chat with my new friend, Hannah Brencher, author, writer, and mental health advocate, about her new book The Unplugged Hours, releasing today. Hannah opens up about her journey with mental health, her battle with severe depression, and the transformative power of her faith. Though she grew up resistant to her mother's beliefs, everything changed when she embraced Christianity at the age of 22, learning how to study the Word and develop spiritual disciplines that now shape her life. Hannah shares how growing up in a small town in Connecticut with a large opioid addiction issue became part of her story and her eventual involvement with a church plant 12 years ago. Through the trials, testing, and the fire, she learned that true success isn't about what you accomplish, but about how you're able to show up fully and vibrantly in life. Her powerful testimony includes her battle with severe depression, which culminated in a major nervous breakdown in 2014. She emphasizes the importance of mental health and encourages listeners to seek help when needed, including therapy and the tools God provides to help us thrive. In The Unplugged Hours, Hannah reflects on how unplugging from her phone for 1,000 hours over the course of a year changed her life and mental health dramatically. She discusses the importance of finding affirmation and assurance in God rather than in online validation or worldly success. Hannah's journey is a reminder that God cares for every aspect of our being—mental, physical, and spiritual—and how closely they are all intertwined. Join us as we dive into her story, exploring the importance of checking in with God, being present in our lives, and breaking free from the distractions that can distance us from our walk with Him.

What does your relationship with your phone look like? It keeps us connected to those we love and can allow us to serve our readers with our writing. But for many of us, (myself included!) it is a source of distraction and stress. It reduces our ability to concentrate and focus—needed skills for a writer!This week, I interviewed Hannah Brencher, author of the book “The Unplugged Hours”. We talked about ways to use our phones without being constantly distracted by them. Hannah offers practical tools and suggestions for setting digital boundaries and fostering the abundant life Jesus promised us. (John 10:10)Hannah Brencher is a writer, TED speaker, and entrepreneur.

Our phones are often the first thing we interact with when we wake up and the last thing when we go to bed. We check it at all hours of the day to remain connected and fill the empty moments.There is rarely a moment that goes by in our busy lives when we don't have access to technology. It's quite literally in the palm of our hands! But is this 24/7 access to it healthy? Is it doing more harm than good? It's often not until we start intentionally unplugging from it that we realize how much it was taking from our lives.My guest, Hannah Brencher, has experience with slowly putting technology back in its place as she has navigated the tug-of-war between staying plugged in and powering down.

Another amazing episode with my guy - Erik Underwood. Probably the best episode we've done together so far - answering your questions from Instagram this week:-What's an unpopular fitness opinion we have?-How to battle the urge to go off the rocker when you mess up a day of tracking + avoiding F it mode.-Nutrition guidance for clients that don't want to track calories (mainly for weight loss goals)-Are there differences between men and women from a training standpoint?-What's a question we wish people would ask but no one ever does?-Push/pull split vs full body workouts.+ so many side tangents in-between.I loved this episode and I know you will too.Where to find Erik:Instagram: @eunder_woodWebsite: www.performanceedu.comWhere to find me:Instagram: @lukesmithrdWebsite: lukesmithnutrition.comAppreciate you listening!

One of the best things that come out of one of the hardest weeks of my life, was learning how to better support the women around me that might be going through the same thing. Unfortunately I don't think most of us know the right responses, so we end up trauma dumping in order to relate or make them feel like they are seen and heard- and this can be more hurtful than helpful. So lets talk about the MOST helpful things you can do and ways you can support the women around you when they are working through a hard season in life.Do you feel like your metabolism has slowed down?

This is one of my favorite episodes because Erin and I get to interview our husbands. Being made in the image of God as male and female is a good thing. It is not an accident that we are created to be a man or a woman. When God made us male and female, he said it was very good. We were created not to compete or be opposed to each other, but to work together in the cosmic task God has invited us into—to care for His creation and cause it to flourish. Join us as we wrestle through the idea of difference and design with our amazing and funny husbands.
