Welcome to Episode 8 of Series 2, the subject of which we think will resonate with many of you: Having a Hard Time. We start off by discussing the impending lunar eclipse (Super Blood Flower Moon) and how it can represent and/or bring about closure and evolution. We discuss abusive work relationships and how hard it can be to drop what doesn't serve you as well as divest yourself of the old trope that "this is just the way things are". Lisa goes on a bit of a dark one from the 6 minute mark and questions what the point is of even trying to make it work as a woman in a male dominated industry. Jenni then discusses how her recent abdominal surgery brought to light how little care and attention women receive post-childbirth and how the promises of the diet industry do a number on recovering moms. All in all, this episode is about finding ways to get through the maelstrom and firmly close that door behind you in order to welcome in the new. It's scary but we think it's worth it - we hope you do too.
