    How Do We Manage Telling The Truth When It Costs Everything?
    2025/10/06
    Would you speak up if you knew it could risk everything? If you are Dr Eirliani Abdul Rahman, the answer is a resounding “yes”. Now a Senior Fellow and Collaborative on Global Children's Issues at Georgetown University, Eirliani was a victim of child sex abuse when growing up. But she found the strength to share her story – and give voice to others. She’s the co- founder of YAKIN - (Youths, Adult survivors & Kin In Need), which helps adult survivors of child sexual abuse, co-authored an award-winning book sharing the stories of twelve survivors, and went on to write her own memoir under a pen name. In 2022 she gained global recognition for resigning from Twitter’s Trust and Safety Council in protest against the rise in hate speech following Elon Musk’s acquisition of the platform; the council was dissolved four days later by Musk. Eirliani shares the turning point in her life which led to her vowing to give voice to the voiceless. She explains the trauma of recounting her abuse and telling others’ stories, and why it was all worth it. And she describes the wave of online hatred she received when she publicly resigned from the Twitter Safety Council – and why she’d still do it all again today. Content Warning: Strong language and discussions of child sexual abuse and online hate speech.

    Dr Liz O’Riordan is leading the way in getting us talking about cancer. She was 40 and working as a consultant breast surgeon when she herself was diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer. What she then went through opened her eyes to how women with cancer are treated, and all the things they aren’t told or warned about. She’s now changing the conversation with her books and online presence. In this episode she and Stephanie discuss how difficult it was to deal with cancer when you have insider knowledge of the potential consequences, all the symptoms she wasn’t expecting and how others can deal with them, the impact of cancer on mental health and sexual relationships, and the joy she’s found in reshaping her career.

    Having a successful career whilst raising children can sometimes feel like an impossible challenge – but Dolly Jones wants to change that narrative. Dolly’s a former editor at Vogue, a digital consultant and author of “Leaving the Ladder Down”, a book which encourages us to think differently about working parents – for ourselves, our families and in the workplace. In this episode of How Do We Manage, Dolly explains why we should appreciate every type of mother and the roles they play – both those at home and at work. She advocates for a culture of speaking openly and honestly about family to employers and colleagues, putting aside mother guilt, accepting the joy of having both a job and a family – and celebrating the everyday wins.

    How Do We Manage When Women Aren’t Taught About Money?
    2025/09/15
    It’s one of life’s last remaining taboo subjects...Money. What we earn, what we save and how we spend is mostly shrouded in secrecy. And in a world where the earning power and purse strings are still so often held by men, tackling the issue head on can be particularly challenging for women. Today’s guest is on a mission to change that. Bola Sol is a financial advisor, a money columnist and the author of two books, “Your Money Life” and “How To Save It”, which aim to help us better understand how to manage our money. She is also making it her mission to empower women around the world to take control of their finances. Bola and Stephanie discuss what it was like being a woman of colour in the world of corporate finance, why schools are failing us when it comes to teaching kids about money, and why getting women in a room together to talk about all things financial is so important. Bola also shares tips on the best ways to invest, save, budget and educate our children around money. We can all come away from this episode a little richer.

Priya Tew is an award-winning registered dietitian and nutrition professional who has an incredibly grounding, and practical approach to the way we eat, and think about our bodies. She and Stephanie discuss the online influences that can lead us astray, the myths and misconceptions around what a healthy diet looks like, and how Priya approaches food with her own children.

    How Do We Manage to Stop Freaking Out About AI?
    2025/08/18
    Are you excited or frightened by AI? Is it helping us cope with everyday life more effectively – or destroying human creativity and agency? These are some of the big questions tackled in today’s conversation with Greg Beato – a tech writer and co-author of the book “SuperAgency - What Could Possibly Go Right With Our Future”. Written with LinkedIn founder Reid Hoffman, the book explores the ways we can make AI work for us rather than against us – and encourages us all to get excited about the possibilities of the future. Greg and Stephanie discuss why AI is the biggest technological breakthrough in 300 years, what it means for our concept of privacy, the dangers it might present, and how to really use AI to our advantage. This chat is a deep dive into what the future of technology can and will look like and how to really embrace it. Resources & Links http://www.superagency.ai.
