In this week's episode we take the conversation wider to explore how (or not as the case may be) women are represented in the wider system in society and the massive impacts of that which we often don't realise as we're culturally conditioned.

It's time for us to be law creators, policy changers and change makers!

A reminder that all of series 2 is on the theme of "The system is biased". In this episode we discuss how the system is silencing us as women. A warning... this episode might be a bit controversial because we speak our own truth - our opinions, our lived experiences - yours might be totally different and that's ok. But it would be ironic if we couldn't speak our own truth, wouldn't it? It would classically illustrate that we feel silenced in this system. So here goes.....

This week in our series that is all about how the system is biased, we talk about the justice system. This episode has some hard hitting stats that we need to raise awareness of and our key messages are to use your voice if you have one and don’t walk past things that you know are not ok, even if they are not happening to you AND if you’re one of the good men, as we know you’re out there, it’s time for you to stand by our sides and join us by using your influence for the greater good.

Welcome to series 2 of the podcast. The theme for this series is "The system is biased"

We'll be exploring the many influences within our societal system that make it biased against women.

Sisterhood - It Matters!

In this weeks episode we bring to life the concept of Sisterhood and why it matters.

In an ever competing world, now more than ever it's time for women and girls to stick together and lift each other up, not tear each other down. But where does it come from? Why does it exist? And what does Sisterhood even mean? Find out in this weeks episode.....

Superwoman - It's time to show Little Miss Perfect the door!

***Audio warning - don’t worry we don’t mean foul language! Just to give you the heads up our audio quality is a bit bumpy in this episode, sorry about that, but at least you get the real, unclipped version of us in pure flow! If we rerecorded it, it just wouldn’t ever be as good :)

In this week's episode we're discussing why family and home continue to be a woman's responsibility. It's an interesting conversation and sometimes a contentious one. We'd love you to join the conversation and share your thoughts and opinions with us.

Are your kids under the stairs with a box of coco pops when you go to work?

Did you know that 75% of household chores are done by women when they've got a full time job?

And that only 1/3 of men take their paternity leave?

41% of parents don't think fathers are held to the same standards by society as mums!

In this episode we share some of our own lived experiences, explore why this is the case, the societal norms that exist plus... our control freaks tendencies of "If you want a job doing, do it yourself"

So how do we break the pattern?

A Scandinavian model of family set up? Having the Team Talk with our partner? And how we raise our kids... are we having the team talk with girls AND boys?

What model are you passing on? (Whether you have kids or not)?

Be prepared to be startled by some statistics and hard hitting headlines to really shine a light on the problem. Jane & Jodes share some stories, personal experiences as well as discuss some recent cases that have (or have not) made the headlines before getting down to what really needs to change to enable women to feel safe to go about their business without having to run through a checklist before they leave the house.

In this episode we pay tribute to one of our feminist icons, Laura Bates. We love all of her books but highly recommend you read her latest book - Fix The System, Not The Women. You can get it on Amazon here: https://amzn.eu/d/4QywkAz

Jane and Jodes will explain....

Why this?

Why us?

Why now?

Listen to them discuss what it means to them to be a feminist and invite you to consider if you are too? Maybe even shift your view on what it means to be one these days (clue: it doesn't include burning your bra!). They'll also whet your appetite with what you can expect, particularly from Series 1 of the podcast and finally explore how we'll know we've got equality and get the conversation started with a 'caption competition' style, fill in the blank, contribution for you to make too.

We hope you'll join us in being a game changing role model for the generation of young women to follow in our footsteps!
